I have tried several times without success to create a 10 minute card for Carole’Anne and Sandi’s 10 minute Challenge. Each time I was just a few minutes off. Today’s card makes that challenge. I saw the Easy and Demonstratable challenge on Late Night Stampers and decided to give it a try. The challenge is to create a card that could be used in a workshop so it has to be easy and one that…
