Well it's my final day of the summer holidays and I can't believe that Sneaky September has crept up on me so quickly. I've seen lots of back-to-school pictures...that will be me tomorrow! Ha!
The final weekend of my holidays was a fabulous one thanks to being in the awesome company of Stephanie, Caryn, and Debby (Pics are here thanks to Caryn). What an amazing group of creative talent! Crafting with these ladies was F.U.N! I returned home feeling so blessed to call these ladies my friends and I couldn't think of a more fun place to spend a weekend than at Clearly Besotted Stamps HQ. Giggles, crafting, and a guided tour of CBS. I saw the magic, peeps. CBS is run like clockwork! :)
So today's card was whipped up in less than 10mins. I can't remember the exact time because I was so overwhelmed with relief that I'd done it, and then I was a cheerleader for the rest of the gals. However, upon viewing the video (cringe!) I've got myself clocked at 7 mins 5 secs. I had a clear plan in my mind of what I was going to do, then stupidly die cut my main panel of cardstock in the first few seconds. Fail! Cue a mad re-think and this is the result. Check out Caryn, Debby, and Stephanie's results too. I'm in awe at what they managed to whip up in under 10 mins!
- Due to the nature of dashing, I didn't have time to stamp the tag outline on the die (I didn't trust myself to line it up properly!) but these dies work lovely without the tag frames.
- I stamped my lines a little too high, leaving a white space at the bottom but it was easy to stamp another yellow line at the bottom. This bottom line grounds the lines and prevents them from looking like they're floating. It's always effective to stamp a pattern off the edge of cardstock.
- Dashing? Rushing? Size matters. Well to me anyways! The smaller the card, the easier I find the challenge. This one is 4x4. Is it cheating? I hope not! :)
Well that's all from me today. I've got a school bag to pack!
As always, thank you so much for popping by here today. Your visits are always appreciated!

I'm going to sound like a stupid American when I say this, but I love the accents! You guys sound so cute. It looks like you had a blast...wish I was there! :)
This video was a blast. So fun to see so many of my favorite crafters hard at work. I'm sure you all must have had the best time together. I LOVE how your card turned out. I'm amazed this wasn't your initial plan. It's perfect.
Come on over, Elena! I'd love to craft with you! :)
Hmmmm...now there's a fabulous idea, Wida...*brain-starts-ticking* I think we should do it! :)
Thank you so much, Leigh! :)
Yay! Thank you, Judith. :)
just watched this, Duchess and it made me smile (with my heart). I'm sure I would've come out of that weekend with a cool British accent and great stamping memories :) I agree, Debby is one cool cucumber! You are all adorable :) ox
Beautiful card, love the stamping and having to stamp the extra line makes it better :)
It's always so fun to hang out with crafty friends - it looks like you had an amazing weekend together!
And I LOVE your card - that little half line really does finish things at the bottom.
Thanks for sharing with us at the Craft Dash!
Beautiful card. Love your CAS design and how you use the tag. Thanks for playing along with us in the 10 Minute Craft Dash and hope to see you again.
So jealous of your crafty time together, looks like you girls had a blast! The video is so funny, love how you girls are all running around and Debby is cool as a cucumber, lol! Your card is amazing, especially for such a short space of time to complete it!
