On this cold, rainy, snowy Friday, we decided to have a little fun with a Friday challenge.

The rules: Create a card in 15 minutes. (The gathering of supplies was not included in the time limit.)

The participants: Christy and GinaMarie

The photographer: Katie

The videographer: Patty (We almost had a video, but Patty forgot to press the record button!)

So, without further ado, here's a little photo story of our 15-minute challenge:



Some of the supplies




And they're off!




GM is concentrating.



Christy is, too.




Time is running out!


And now (drum roll, please) the finished results:



GinaMarie's card.

(I love the foam letters and the rub-on stitching.)




And check out the inside (I think she thought I was judging or something!)




Christy's card

(I love her use of felt.)

What the participants had to say about the challenge:

Christy: "So, I called for a fun 15-minute challenge, thinking that it would be fun,
fast and easy ... It was fun and the time flew by, but it was harder than I
thought. I usually create pretty fast, but I think it was the constant
verbal countdown by Patty and Katie that made me sweat I think I've
gotten so used to taking my time when I scrap that I felt rushed and
pressured to create something stellar."

I am going to be practicing at home for the next 15 minute challenge!

GinaMarie: “It really was a challenge for me. I’m the kind of person who could spend hours on one card, so the time limit made me so nervous, I began to sweat.”

If you're looking for a creative way to spend a dreary Friday, or just looking to have a little creative fun, try our 15-minute challenge. Then, post your projects in the forum.

Have a great weekend, everyone.

Until next week,

Katie
