10 minute craft dash: need to venti?

I'm thrilled that the fabulous Ginny Larsen and Paulina Nakamura have asked me to help kick off their first

10 minute

craft dash!

For challenge #1, there are no specifics...just make a tag, card, project, etc...it just has to be completed in under 10 minutes. 

Challenge starts: Wednesday, August 15, 2012

Deadline: August 25, 2012, 11:59 pm Pacific 

Prize: sampler of twine 

I gathered my supplies together...or what I thought would be my supplies {grin}

time saving items:

pre-scored card 

{see those blue splotches...I didn't mist those on purpose...I was going to use them to my advantage but then ended up just covering them up}

coordinating collection

{I used Basic Grey's Paper Cottage}

This is the end result:

Can you see what I added that I hadn't already anticipated?

Paper Smooches stamps

twinery

Even factoring in the stitching {which is downstairs in the sewing area...aka dining room table} heres my time:

7 minutes 10 seconds

BAM!

Under 10 minutes with time to spare...minutes even!  

I thought of adding more schtuff but then cringed at the thought that I would make a mistake and then go over the time allotment....

Such a fun challenge as I tend to get distracted...real easy like....so what should only take well, 10 minutes can take hours...LOL...you know...

I can't wait to see what you design in 10 minutes!
