 Vroooom! Time for another speed challenge at As You See It #295! Let's start our clocks and hit the outdoors! With less than two weeks til our annual trip to Maui, I pretty much have "beach" on the brain 24/7 right now, lol. With that thought, I checked out our new Seaside Bay suite that I broke down and got - some cute elements, and different enough from my other ocean-y sets, I decided. As I flipped through the DSP, though, the sheet I fell for the most was this lovely with all the seashells - which sent me straight back to the Friends Are Like Seashells set! That would be a tough one, but I like a challenge! So I thought the card all the way through, and assembled EVERYTHING I needed for each step, even moving my Big Shot right next to me, and laying out all the dies I'd need. I also chopped up my stamped shells CS ahead of time, because THAT die is one giant die, sigh. I originally wanted to tousle metallic thread behind the sentiment, and switched to our old Gold Hoops as faster. And no fussing with layers - I went with an edge-to-edge full cover for my card front. So with all that prep, I JUST squeaked in at 9 minutes, 57 seconds - and that doesn't include the envelope, which I think is fair, lol. My office looks like a tornado went through it! I can't wait to see YOUR speedy projects for this one - meet you there! Friends Are Like Seashells Stamp Set; By The Bay DSP; Basic White CS; Sahara Sand, Night of Navy, Mint Macaron, Pool Party & Balmy Blue Inks; Seaside Seashells & Rectangle Stitched Dies; Gold Hoop (retired); Opal Rounds; #AYSI295.

That seashell paper is utterly fantastic and, as you say, made for Friends are Like Seashells. The hoop makes a great frame for the sentiment.

What a great partnership of the DSP and the Friends are Like Seashells! You did a beautiful job within that 10 min. limit! I like the highlighting effect of the gold hoop, too! 3/28/2023 11:33:04 am
I love that paper Heather and the friends are like seashells set does pair perfectly. I really like the gold hoop to highlight the sentiment too - it just shows how resourceful we can be under pressure lol! 4/2/2023 07:24:56 pm
