Happy Birthday to the 10 Minute Craft Dash!

ETA: I just found the Birthday Challenge over on the Moxie Fab World, so I am linking up!!

Hello my lovely readers! Truly, it’s been too long since I managed to post with any real regularity. The next couple of weeks are going to be nuts, and then I hope to get back to normal. Bear with me?

I am popping in today for the latest 10 Minute Craft Dash. But this isn’t just any new colour palette over on Paulina’s blog… it’s actually a huge celebration!

Today, the 10 Minute Craft Dash is celebrating it’s first birthday! To celebrate, we are throwing a little party, and we invited a whole cast of talented ladies to celebrate with us, Blog Hop style. If you came here by way of Daniela Dobson, then you’re on the right track. If you’ve happened upon me by chance, then head on over to Paulina’s blog to find out all the details, and hop along with us!

As you saw, instead of colours this week, we’re focusing on a Birthday Theme (was there any other choice?)… so I went to my Pinboards, and found this beauty that I decided I wanted to try and CASE in 10 minutes or less – ambitious, no?

I did some good prep – dug through my scrap bin and had a ton of coordinating scraps sitting on my desk before I started. Then, I moved faster than ever before.

I won’t lie… I kind of impressed myself. Is it wrong to admit that?

If you look, the design itself is actually pretty simple. I just had to be organized before I started, and then move fast. I love how it turned out, and I am so glad I didn’t veer much from the original design, because it was so perfect how it was.

I finished this in 8 minutes and 28 seconds.

I am pretty sure it’s time for me to figure out the video set up so that I can prove to you that I am not fibbing about my 10 minute cards!

Now, you want to be sure to play along… there are a *lot* of prizes up for grabs. Have a peek:

And one lucky player goes home with this one:

And don’t forget to hop along for some incredible inspiration – there is such an amazing list of designers joining us this time around!

That’s it for me, so off you go, and see what the amazing Amy Tsuruta has for you!
