Super Cute Laundry

This final event, Speed Cardmaking, of the MFT Creative Olympics just about did me in!  When it comes to crafting, I am anything but fast!  My mother used to tell me that my theme song was "I Like to Take My Time" by Mr. Rogers.  In fact, my first attempt was an epic fail, but like the snow boarding events, I used my best time out of three.  Actually, I only needed a second chance to get under the twenty minutes, even though I put all the supplies back so as not to have a head start.  I just needed to crank out those die cuts more efficiently and adhere everything faster!  I certainly was not going to attempt to color quickly for this event.

If I had more time, I probably would've added shading with a little ink blending, and the clothesline would be up a little farther.

And here is the result of my first attempt, which took almost 28 minutes:

No time to even add the clothes pins and I didn't realize it was upside down until it was all done!  I will just end up adding clothespins and cutting off the front to use as a panel on another card base.

Here they are together.  I learned one big lesson from this event, I'm more of a distance crafter than a sprinter!  I also hit a crafting milestone: this card used up the last of my kahuna 36 yard roll of foam tape - I never thought that would happen.
