Whip It Up Wednesday

Happy Wednesday everyone! Is the week halfway over already? The days are flying by and if you're short on time (like I am) then you'll love today's post. I challenged some of our design team members to whip up up a project in 30 minutes or less.

Design team member Melinda Spinks usually takes her time when creating projects so keeping her project to less than 30 minutes was a real challenge for her.  I'd say she aced it with flying colors, how about you?  Here's what Melinda had to say ... "When Lynn first presented me with the challenge of doing a project in 30 minutes I laughed ... I have never done anything in under 3 hours, even a card! So I took up the challenge and decided I needed a plan. My daughter came up with the idea as she wanted to give a gift to a friend who's gorgeous old dog had been ill recently. So the project was chosen, paper and embellishments at the ready, tools sharpened and in-hand, stop-watch set to 30 minutes and I was off! I must admit there was some fast and furious cutting and sticking, punching and chalking but I did it and had exactly 1 minute 27 seconds to spare! I have never seen my table in such a mess but I don't think clean up was scheduled into the time frame! Now my daughter has a sweet gift for her friend's pooch and I have a new personal record for speed scrapping!"

"Pebbles has created a ton of new embellishments that help me create a unique page in a matter of minutes.  One of my new favorites is the 12" Border Stickers, I love the added detail they add to my layouts."
