10 Minute Craft Dash w/video

Have you seen the new challenge on the block?

When Paulina contacted me and asked if I'd like to participate in the 10 Minute Craft Dash, that she co-hosts with Ginny, I just couldn't resist. You have 10 minutes after you gather your supplies to create a project based on the challenge criteria. She sent along the graphic and I purposely did not open it until right before I set out to make the card. I wanted it to be as true to a 10 minute challenge as possible.

I gave myself 5 minutes to pull together basic supplies to fit the mandatory colors and then set my timer and just went with it. So did I make it? Watch below to find out!

Watch above or in HD at YouTube

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to play along for a chance to win a prize from the challenge sponsor!

  1. Oh Dawn, this made me giggle :) I loved how frazzled you got and your comment, "Why am I so picky?" is something I say to myself on a daily basis. Thank you for sharing this process.

    Also, I looked getting a sneak at your die store. Do you think you could share more of that with us?

  2. I giggled while you were working so hard as well! Sorry! I think that you should give yourself back at least 5 minutes for having to wake up your iPhone so you were really under the time! Hah!

  3. LOL! So fun... This is totally cute, Dawn. Don't beat yourself up. All I kept thinking was how fun it would've been if we had all been doing this in the same room at the same time, haha! Anyway... this is cuteness... I need to ink up my onesie twosie set now! ;)

  12. Very funny, Dawn. You were very rushed like me. I blew through the 10 minutes as well and completely forgot to set a timer on the video as I planned, but didn't want to waste my time opening an app to start it! HA It was truly a challenge, but you made a fabulous card in a short amount of time! :)

  13. Dawn, I really enjoyed watching this video. Even though a lot of my cards are CAS I still don't think I could get them done in 10 minutes. So, congrats on taking up the challenge, it was fun to watch too.
