10 Minute Craft Dash Birthday Bash

CD_23

It’s hard to believe it’s been a year since the first 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge. I honestly have gotten so much joy seeing all of the amazing entries from around the world, working with amazing sponsors and designers, developing friendships with the design team and also continuing to be stretched in my quick crafting skills.

I wanted to celebrate this momentous occasion in a BIG way, so I enlisted the help of sponsors and just a few of my incredibly talented friends, crafting peers and of course, the 10 Minute Craft Dash DT.

I have been hinting at the HUGE grand prize for a while now and I’m glad I can finally share what it is. One lucky person is going to win everything in this picture below- yes, including a $50 gift certificate! These products were graciously donated by the following companies: Ellen Hutson, Neat & Tangled, DeNami Design, May Arts, Precious Remembrance and Soapbox Creations. Imagine all the hours of creativity that could happen if you won this!

Remember how I said I wanted this birthday to be a big celebration? Part of that will be in the form of a 10 Minute Craft Dash Blog Hop featuring my special guests and the DT. There are a total of 28 stops (including this one) and I know you all are in for lots of treats with the talent packed into the list. Before we get to that though, I want to mention that there are TEN blog hop prizes up for grabs (sponsored by StampNation, Ellen Hutson, DeNami Design and Jennifer McGuire for Online Card Classes)- I’ll be randomly picking comments from the various stops at the close of the challenge on August 17, 2013.

Grab yourself your beverage of choice and be inspired by the crafty creations and videos. Also, remember, these items were created within 10 minutes!

Okay, now let’s move onto my card and video for today’s post. I have been absolutely in love with mint recently and will find any excuse to add it to my projects. Today I paired it with several DeNami Design stamps, some patterned paper and a little bit of twine.
