10 minute Craft Challenge

This was HARD!!! You have no idea how stressful it is to line up things before taping them down -- and stamping things straight with a time limit. Anyway, learned something in this one...

To see the details, visit Paulina's blog over at Pretty Pink Posh --- essentially the challenge is to create a card from start to finish in under 10 minutes (only allowed to set out supplies beforehand), with the added bonus of having to meet the criteria of the color challenge (light blue, turquoise, and light green).

Here's my creation:

Finish time: 9:33

Materials:
Paper: Misc. Bazzil cardstock, Lilybee Design - Victoria Park tablet, Teresa Collins - Spring Fling
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Paris Dusk, Verve Stamps - Wonderfully Made
Cutting/Embossing: Spellbinder's Nestabilities - not sure which label
Misc.: Liquid Pearls (white) and dimensional adhesive

National Stamping Month Challenge #1

We are celebrating all month long, and we want you to join the fun!

Here's the first week's challenge over at DeNami Designs...

The details:

1.) Create a card using varying shades of a single color (white OK). Must use at least one DeNami Design stamp.
2.) Send DeNami a photo of your card (or a link to your photo on a blog or online gallery). Include your name, state or province, and include challenge title in the subject line ("Monochromatic Color Challenge"). 

Challenge entries will be accepted through September 3, 2012. Finalists will be posted on Facebook. Voting will take place September 4-9, 2012. Winner will be determined by highest number of "likes" a photo receives. DeNami Design reserves the right to change the rules at any time.

Here's mine:

I think monochromatic cards with DeNami stamps are really tough -- especially when I love chickies that have to be, at the very minimum, both orange and yellow, so that kind of excludes them. Hopefully this shows up fine on your monitor, but these are all different shades of blue.

Materials:
Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock, Neenah - Solar White, Tim Holtz Core Distress paper
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Paris Dusk, Summery Sky, DeNami - F166 Baby Circle and C71 Small Side-view Sheep, A muse Studio - Little Peanuts
Cutting/Embossing: Craft Concepts Embossing Folder - Ramsey, Spellbinder's Nestabilities - Standard and Scalloped Circles
Misc.: Copic markers, liquid pearls - ocean blue, ocean twine from The Twinery, dimensional adhesive, stardust stickles

This week's challenge over at CAS-ual Fridays is to create a back to school themed project...

CFC68: Create a Clean And Simple Back to School project

Here's mine:

I don't have any teachers or kids to send back to school cards to, but when I think of back to school, I think of apples and fall, so I decided an apple card might be appropriate (and, sometimes you can pick a favorite teacher).

Paper: Misc. Bazzill cardstock, Neenah - Solar White
Stamps/Inks: Memento - Tuxedo Black and Bamboo Shoots, Hero Arts Shadow Midtones - Field Greens,  MFT - Polka Dot Greetings, Paper Smooches - Falling for You, Technique Tuesday - I Pick You
