My First Craft Dash

Two days of some serious stock-up grocery shopping have lead to a serious creative brain fart. I started a lot of projects, only to clean them up after five minutes of nothing to show for it. Enter: the 10 Minute Craft Dash. This was my first time dashing, and it was the perfect cure!


This was actually a pretty eye-opening experience. I only had ten minutes to make one card, which originally seemed super easy. Once that clock started tickin I knew any sort of stamping was just not gonna happen. Then I realized I spent 2.5 minutes tying a damn bow! My priorities were definitely not in the right place.


Overall, I'm pretty happy with it. I stuck to one paper pack, no stamps, and very basic embellishments. I ended up finishing in 9 mins 54 secs... I was scrambling to get those damn rhinestones on!


materials: Recollections "Neapolitan Collection" stack, Recollections washi tape, We R Memory Keepers floss/twine, bling.
