I have a lot going on right now in life, and I think that just about everyone could say that. But I made a promise to myself that every time I did a family thing like dishes or laundry or cleaning, I was racking up points for a mommy only thing. I think that when I have that reward of me time at the end of the hard other work, it helps me get through it. I also find myself thinking about how I want to do something or what I'm going to do with that time and I feel a little bit more decisive or prepared for the fun thing. In that light, today's paper goodness comes from a challenge I learned about yesterday, and the idea intrigued me. You have to make your "whatever the challenge is" in 10 minutes. That's it. How often do you just sit there and say "I want to do this, but where do I start?"
The challenge can be found
here I finished my card in 9 minutes and 43 seconds! It might have been faster if I had had my sewing room all unpacked and hadn't had to go running for some glue or something circular to trace (yes, my circles are slightly crooked, I cut them out with scissors). But I gotta say, I love this card!
I used some papers I had from the DCWV Lemon Flower stack sitting around, and the ribbon is from May Arts, and the stamp is from one of Unity's KOM sets, November 2012, I think.
The great story with the ribbon and paper is that a few years back I won the stack with 4 rolls of coordinating ribbon from May Arts during one of their blog hops and I love to dole out little bits and pieces here and there.
Oh, and I used a sketch from DCWV Monthly Stack-a-holic challenge.
Also, in trying to finish within the time limit, I wasn't quite paying attention, and the card opens on the left, not the right!
