We've been talking on the forum about 10 minute cards and well, I decided I'd try my hand at one. My desk is COVERED with scraps and Jess Witty does her 10 minute scrap pile challenge every week so I figured why not give it a try? At worst case, I'll clear some of the scraps off my desk without having to "actually" clean my desk.
And ladies, I timed myself. I managed to make the card in 10 minutes (ok, 10:59....) and the tag was made in under 10 minutes. :)
Ok, and then after I made everything, I fiddled, I trimmed and but I didn't touch the card... Ok, never mind, I flocked. So perhaps this wasn't done in 10 minutes but I'm going to dream. Besides I fully believe that the flocking adds so much to the bats. It's not my fault it took me 20 minutes to find my flock! At least I had something to show after 10 minutes... and not just a messy desk.
Next up is the wonderfully talented Julia!
So great! Simple and fabulous. Thanks for showing us something that is also a quickie!
