 Oh yes! Time for another speed challenge at As You See It #361 - and it's all about apples! This could be tricky for me, as a lot of my favorite apple sets involve LOTS of coloring. Time to whittle this down! The number one key to speed challenges for me is PREP, lol. Cut the cardstock and papers, open the inks, mount the stamps, pull out markers, ribbons and embellies to stand by. Double check the supplies, aaaaand GO! I pulled my Apple Harvest bundle from last year for this one, and thought I could get a schoolhouse charm kind of look over a black plaid, so I prepped my background and envelope cuts with this sheet from Plaid Tidings. Next up, I knew I didn't want to die cut the apples, and this little pair on a branch looked like the least amount of coloring. And how about that, there's already white Stylish Circle in the die sleeve - perfect! Once I started the timer, the only die cut I needed to do was the sentiment, which also used Stylish Shapes. I got the "banner" look by cutting off the left side flag with the long edge of the same die - came out cool! I stopped the clock just past 9 minutes! Wow! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy creations - get ready to slay us with apples!

The plaid works well, both in terms of colour and of pattern. Very brave of you to take on colouring in a speed challenge! 11/23/2025 03:22:36 pm
