It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to tell us about your hobbies!

I love to read and actually made a card with the one book stamp I have.  But I didn't like it.  So I changed to my other favorite hobby - cardmaking!  I have had this particular image for a while and it suits this challenge quite nicely.  

I stamped my image and sentiment, colored in with my alcohol markers and layered it up.  It was meant to have some dots but I knew I couldn't get them on in time so I stopped with 5 seconds to spare!

What’s your hobby?

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use seashells on a card.

I dug around in my stash to find some seashell stamps and was pretty happy I had some!  Lol!  I dug out my paper, inks, dies and stamps so that I was ready to go when I started the clock.

I stamped, colored and die cut the small seashells, die cut two sand dollars out of two different card stocks and then stamped a sentiment.  I was in full panic mode because all of that took the vast majority of the clock.

 I adhered the sand dollar and then quickly added three small seashells next to it.  I was just trying to position the yellow seashell when the clock ran out so it looks a little random but that’s how it goes.  I used all 10 minutes.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge with an outdoor theme.

I pulled out everything I needed and got started.  I stamped the image in crumbcake on my card base and then colored using alcohol inks.  I ran the card front and base through my linen plate.

I die cut with my deckled edges, adhered the ribbon to the back and then to the card base.  I added some dots and pearls and was done.  Surprisingly, I had 1 minute and 18 seconds left.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use Christmas baubles on your card.

I started by stamping and die cutting an ornament.  I die cut a piece of parakeet party and white to showcase the ornament.

I added some sweet sorbet twine for a pop of color and layered everything up.  I was planning to add some bling but ran out of time as I was putting the last layer on the card.  Thus – I ended up with 0 seconds left!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to use pumpkins or gourds on your card.

I started by stamping my pumpkin images (in green!) before adding the sentiment.

I added a piece of dsp and garden green trim to the vanilla card front and then die cut using a stitched rectangle.

I adhered to the card base and was planning to add some bling until I checked the time.  I had about 5 seconds left so I didn’t bother!  Time was 9 minutes and 55 seconds.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to make a belated birthday card.

I colored my leaf stamp with my zig markers and then spritzed with water before stamping on a piece of watercolor paper.  I cut a piece of pattern paper and a piece of rustic cream to back the leaf image.

Then I cut a piece of burlap and a piece of pear pizzazz ribbon and layered everything together.  I added a few colored dots and the sentiment, did a bit of black splatter and was done.  With 8 seconds left!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to stay dry. 

When I saw the challenge, I ordered this sweet house mouse stamp to use.  I also knew I was going to spend a lot of my time coloring.  So I did a bunch of dry runs by stamping and timing myself coloring.  I got it down to just over seven minutes for the image.  I did that by lining up the markers in order of use and keeping the caps off.  (I hope I didn't break the rules by doing that!)

I always keep a ton of white cardstock prepped and ready for card bases.  So I grabbed one of those and a stitched circle die cut that I have had in my scrap white paper for some time.

I had a scrap of pattern paper that I used to draw my colors from and just had to adhere and cut off the extra.  I looped some twine and added the image.  I was just pressing down on the sentiment when the bell rang so I considered that a win.  I only timed myself with the coloring so the rest was going to be up to chance and I got lucky enough to get the sentiment on, as I had saved that for last.

This was a fun challenge and really made me think up hacks to get a nice card done in the allotted time.

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  We are talking speed and snowflakes for this challenge! 

I started by creating an ornament shape on my card front with a little bit of ink blending.

I stamped snowflakes, added the sentiment and adhered to the card base.  I decided last second to add a bit of bling for some sparkle and was done.  Plenty of time left on the clock for me!  I had one minute ten seconds left!

It’s a new challenge at As You See It!  It’s a speed challenge to make a silly or funny card.

I would say I went with punny and maybe a bit silly.  I stamped this crazy frog image and colored with my alcohol markers.

I die cut the image, popped it up and added the sentiment.  I ran everything thru my linen plate and added a bit of seam binding to finish the card off.  I used 9 minutes and 30 seconds.

I went clean and simple here and hoped for the best time wise.  I was blown away when I discovered I had 2 minutes left.  What?  I am always down to the wire!

I stamped the frond in two greens and then die cut.  I die cut a stitched scallop squared and added the sentiment.  I popped up the square, adhered the frond and then a little bling.
