...and I knew I couldn't invest a lot of time crafting today, so it was the perfect challenge for me! I pulled out some favorites to inspire me...Simple Stories...
...thought those sweet little balloons would be perfect for a friendly birthday greeting. And my time???...
...just over 10. I could have done it, but I had a couple issues...I had die cut my first little cloud with the text upside down. (And that little one is the one that's hard to get out of the die...especially when you're in a hurry.) I am glad I noticed before I stuck it on, though. And...I accidentally pulled the adhesive off my chipboard piece. Since I was in a hurry...I had zipped off enough of it that I thought I'd better go ahead and carefully take it all off and just glue it. Without those two issues, and without stamping...it really was a quick and easy card!
Congratulations, Paulina, on your fun little challenge turning 1!!!
Thanks for stopping in today! Have a great week!

Such a sweet card! I love those clouds and the pearls!
ReplyDeleteCute cute card Geri!! I love the bouquet of heart balloons. Can't believe school is starting already. I think they should have until after Labor Day. But I think there might be some moms who disagree LOL!! Anyway, hope it's a good year for all of you!!
ReplyDeleteFantastic Geri, those little mishaps are all part of the fun!
ReplyDeleteWow, you have a quiet house now, what wonderful crafting you will have! And I see you're off to a great start here ... so light and airy, perfect for your hot air balloon/cloud scene!
ReplyDeleteOh I love your card, Geri! So very pretty. I can't believe your kids are back at school already! My boy doesn't start for another 3 weeks. :-). Enjoy your quiet time!
ReplyDeleteOh, this is so pretty, Geri! I love it! That ten minutes goes by so fast, doesn't it?
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for playing along with the 10 Minute Craft Dash!
Oh this card is just lovely, Geri!!! I LOVE that beautiful SS line and your card is just a perfect way to let it shine! I love, love, love the little clouds and hearts floating about - and even though over time limit - this card was certainly worth it! :)
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness , this is such a cute creation. Love all the hearts and the layout,amazing
ReplyDeleteOh, I LOVE it!! I love how you laid everything out. Have I said it before that I see an evolution happening in your cards? I really see a sort of signature style happening, and I love it. And I totally hear you on the things that take those extra seconds...
ReplyDeletePrecious! I love the balloons and the mix of papers on the clouds. I'd say you definitely came in under ten minus the uncooperative crafty bits. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteSuper sweet & fun card.
ReplyDeleteThis turned out awesome!
ReplyDeleteOh my school is coming for us too! I always have mixed emotions as my little one goes back! We have a couple weeks yet!
ReplyDeleteYour card is so pretty! I always have to use a piece of scotch tape to get my clouds out! It is hard! :). And I cannot tell you how many times I have cut things backwards or upside down! :). The end result is this gorgeous card with that sweet sticker! Love it Geri!
Oh, I adore your beautiful card, Geri! Such a sweet and serene scene you created. the little heart gems floating up with the balloons is the most perfect touch.
ReplyDeleteBack to school time is always a bit tough, in my humble opinion. Hope your kiddos continue to enjoy it all....sure wish mine could get excited even about day one..
Hi Geri! Visiting you to say thank you for a sweet comment, and ended up falling in love with all your talent and sweet pix of family, and tutorials, and on and on!
ReplyDeleteThis card is a wonder at an hour, let alone 10 min! Must try to do something within a time frame. Can you believe never done before? You shine as a model, so willing to attempt. Just love every element and sweet theme you created here. So thankful for people willing to share boo boos as well as triumphs!
Aw, whats a few seconds between friends??!! What a gorgeous card - love all the little details you've managed to get in there.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing it with us for the 10 Minute Craft Dash.
Hugs,

What a sweet card! Love all those adorable hearts!!
ReplyDeleteYou are too funny! Your cards are always so perfect it's nice to know you have mortal issues when making them!! It's an amazing card! Are those little heart buttons or are they making heart-shaped sequints now?!! Just adorable, Geri!!
ReplyDeleteIt will be a transition period adjusting to having the kids back in school. It's always a bittersweet time for a few days. Okay, for an hour and a half!!
What a fun way to start the school year off - this card is amazing! I love the layout and all the details. I'm impressed you were so close to the 10 minute mark - and all thanks to a little die cutting issues :-) Thanks so much for playing at 10 MInute Craft Dash!
ReplyDeleteThis is a very sweet card - love the clouds and the sweet heart balloons.
ReplyDeleteLOVE your creation. Thanks for playing along with us in the 10 Minute Craft Dash and hope to see you again.
