Bay Birthday

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!
