I just wanted to pop in and remind you all that TODAY is the last day to enter your crafts into the first 10 Minute Craft Dash. We have had so many great entries and we hope you’ll join us in the fun! When we announce the winner, I’ll have a special surprise- so be sure to stay tuned to the blog for that.
I have another card to share that was created under 10 minutes- I’m really starting to get the hang of crafting with a timer now! :)
Time it took to create: 7 minutes 47 seconds
I decided to go with a different color scheme and pulled out some blues and yellow- definitely not my usual go-to colors! I thought it was unique and a fun little change from my usual pinks and greens.
That’s going to do it for this post. Have a great weekend.
I have a new card to share as a little more inspiration for the 10 Minute Craft Dash challenge. Seeing all your beautiful submissions made me want to go into the craft studio and create something else!
At work yesterday, I filled an order with the Giraffe and it made me want to use him on a card. I pulled out some of my scrap papers, set my timer and went to town. Crafty craziness, yes, it totally happened.
I wanted to play with the current DeNami Addict Challenge since Monday, so I knew I had to incorporate a button somehow. I had all these grand ideas of using lots of them, but being on a timer, I had to stick with just one. Hopefully I can get a chance to make another card using lots of buttons!
Time it took to create: 8 minutes 52 seconds
Over the past few months, I’ve been contemplating setting up a Pretty Pink Posh Facebook page. I never thought I was “big enough” to do it, but after some promptings from a few different bloggers who are quite successful, I took the plunge. My hope is that I’ll update the page when I have a new blog post, but I also want it to be a fun, interactive place for fellow crafters and bloggers alike.
That’s going to wrap up this blog post. I hope this card inspired/ nudged you to try out the challenge. Remember, it isn’t just for cards- you can create tags, favors or even whip up something on the sewing machine! Oh my, think of all the fun possibilities!
Hello and welcome to the very first 10 Minute Craft Dash!
I am so thrilled to have you here and I hope that you’ll be able to join us for this fun {and quick} challenge. My good friend, Ginny and I come up with a concept that we are really excited about and haven’t seen {in our blog circle} thus far. The challenge? Coming up with a crafty project within 10 minutes.
I know that I struggle with creating projects quickly {I’m a slow crafter}, so this actually IS a challenge for me. While some may find this to be easy, I know quite a few of us will struggle with this short amount of time. That’s the beauty of a CHALLENGE, right?
We will be doing this challenge twice a month (on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of each month) and boy, do we have some fun color palettes planned! Since it may take a little while to get used to crafting on a time restraint, our first challenge is a “free for all”, so you can use any colors your heart desires!
Here is what I created for this challenge. One layer is the way to go for quick & easy cards!
Time it took to create: 7 minutes 27 seconds
And here is what Ginny came up with. How gorgeous is this?!
Time it took to create: 10 minutes
To kick start this first challenge, I am thrilled to have some very special names joining us. These are some of the sweetest, most talented ladies on blog land. Be sure to visit each of their blogs to see their stunning 10 Minute Card Dash creations.
