10 Minute Craft Dash #21, ColourQ #196 and SSS - Patriotic


Happy 4th of July!  I hope everyone is having a fabulous day no matter what you are doing.  Today is a quiet day at home, went to breakfast and had my eyebrows done this morning with a girlfriend and get to spend most of the day being crafty, that is in between a few loads of laundry too.  
This is my first time playing with Pretty Pink Posh's 10 Minute Craft Dash...I was a bit nervous, afraid I would really blow it and use up way more time than the 10 minutes allotted for in the challenge.  I set up my iPhone to time my progress and had to move it because I kept looking at the time.  Not a good move on my part.  Well, to my surprise I finished with just about a minute to spare. Not too bad for my first try.  
I am entering my card in 2 challenges, 10 Minute Craft Dash and SSS - Partriotic.

  1. You have had such a productive crafty day. I love both of your cards--that first one is so fun---great way to use that amazing die. And, your second--great use of those colors--and your dot trios look a bit like Mickey ears. Perhaps it is those colors that remind me of Disney. I think that is a difficult color scheme, but you are making it look so easy!

  14. Another cute card. Was it you Kim that didn't make flower cards at one time? If so, you sure have made it one of your comfort zones. Lovely....

  15. Your ColourQ card is fantastic, Kim, but my, oh, my, how I LOVE that fanfare card! Something else for the wish book!! Eek, more NBUS!! It reminds me of the Avery Elle stamp set I already have ... it looks like you can remove all those bits, but you didn't, which I like, but now would you do a card with the bits removed so I can see that, too? It's just smokin' genius how you layered it in red-white-and-blue!!

    Have a great weekend! We finally broke the heat barrier and dropped like 26 degrees over here, phew!

  19. I would be a nervous wreck if I did the Craft Dash. LOL! I love the patriotic scallops on your card. And a gorgeous job with the challenge colors. Who would have thought to use Mustard for the leaves? You did, and it looks amazing!

  20. Kim, you may have just single handedly sold me on Ruby Rose!!!! I am adding it to my wish list right now!

    And I can't believe your patriotic card took only 6 minutes! Those diecuts are perfectly placed - that would take me forever!
