still doing good
I used my new stamp set called Vintage Labels - ouh and this is from the Sale-bration
Want to get that one FREE

then I used my label punch and punch the greeting
now I am going to put this little box together
I used sticky tape - cause that works like a charm
still doing good for time
and this is where I under estimated my time
by the time I cut out the flowers I was doomed

Sorry I'm so late commenting on your post but I'm playing catch up!
You crack me up girlfriend! And you are much too hard on yourself!I can't imagine doing a card in 10 min, let alone a 3-D item. I love your project. It is so bright and cheery. I really like all of your cut out flowers and brads and the ribbon/cardstock handle is so cute! Thank you for sharing:-)
Inky hugs,
Janet

Thoroughly enjoyed your post - felt like I was watching that old game show Beat the Clock! You almost made it - the project was worth the extra time - it is very pretty! Thanks for playing @PPA!

These are great, cheery colours to work with. So spring is really on the way - can hardly wait!
Your little basket is so cute, wonderful job!

What a great creation! Thanks for sharing.
I have an unrelated question though, that card holder in the back... where did you get that? How do I find those things? Yours looks like a fun shape.

Your bright colors really look like spring! Now just to get rid of this snow. Nice job.

That is so cute. Now I want more toys too. That big shot is so neat. I have a CB. Your little box is so cute, I love the colors and decorations on it, even if it took a little longer.

Funny, I didn't really like this color combo but when I saw what you did with it I had to change my mind. Both your box and Sandi's Abundant Hope card are gorgeous!

Great idea! I love that die- the box is soo handy!
Posted by: Linda | 01/22/2010 at 03:29 PM
That is so cute, I just love it, but why do you chose such a hard project for your 10 min.chalenge. You are just too hard on yourself and so perfectionist when you do these chanlenges. Good job even in 21/2min.
I feel so rushed for you when you do this 10min. card.
I love you, mom

Very pretty colours. Love this tie - the cut out along the top is lovely. Turned out to be cute as a button - great to put treats in for my grandchildren :o)
You make me laugh !!!!! It is fun to come here, I always have a big smile on my face when I leave.
Have a great weekend.....Hugs, Candy

OK, I am making up for 2 days of being gone working. That darn pesky job, it really gets in the way of my fun. Like I told Sandi, thanks for the sunshine on a cloudy day. I love the colors and you know how I love to make anything with my Big Shot. It turned out absolutely fantastic. Of course, it always points out to me something that I didn't even realize I can't live without. I really love those beautiful brads. Roscoe says he hasn't seen any pictures of his friend Max in a few days and he misses him. It is supposed to be cloudy and rainy for the next few days here so thanks for the ray of sunshine your blog always gives me.

I love it! This would be perfect to make for the kiddies at church and fill with
a little bit of candy and maybe some other little goodies. Thanks for the inspiration.
Big HUG to you and my sweet little friend Max!

WOW, you did an awesome job on this great little box, LOVE IT, so bright and cheery. Don't you just love the S.U. Brads in all those luscious colors?
I think you really nailed this challenge my friend, no wonder you are my canadian Idol, LOL.
Happy Friday to all of you up there in the frozen North.
Hugs and Liane, hope your finger is feeling better

I love this color combination. Great job!
Posted by: Lauren C | 01/22/2010 at 06:57 AM
Je suis passée chez Sandi, ce combo est osé, mais je vais le tenter... même si je n'ai pas exactement les même couleurs, j'improviserai.
Ton petit sac est très joli.
Bonne journée.
