Hero Arts -- 24 hours of 90 minute Scrambles

Big weekend --- the Hero Arts Flickr group is hosting 24 consecutive hours of 90 minute scrambles, starting at 6:30 PM on November 16th and ending at 6:30 PM on November 17th. I've decided to play along for a few and will be updating this post periodically to reflect any of the challenges I participate in. How does it work? Every two hours, starting at 6:30 PM on November 16 CST, there will be a challenge posted, and participants have 90 minutes to create a card (using a Hero Arts stamp), following whatever the challenge rules are, and upload it to flickr. So much fun! We're off and running.
