A card for a timed challenge......

Hello my fellow Crafty people!   I have been MIA from my craft room for a while.  My daughter had summer camp for 8 weeks which had me out of my house all day for weeks.  So now that it is over for this summer, I now have some Crafty time!  Tonight on the FB group Kraftie Kre8tions, they had a timed challenge. We had to make cards in 2 1/2 hours and we were to use, ribbon, brads, a paperclip, a shape not squares or rectangles and a hand written sentiment.  Well, I gathered my papers, cutters, glue gun, pens, paperclip and the card base.  I chose a step card from Teresa Collins.

Cutting all the different sizes of the papers was the hardest part.

I decided to do a "back to school" themed card since it is literally around the corner!! Where has the summer gone?

Here is my finished card.....so I thought!!  I went back and re-read what was to be included and I forgot to add ribbon and brads!!  So back to the drawing board......and here is my finished project!

I hope you see the 3 green brads on the bottom and the ribbon around the books that I added!

It was fun....and I finished well before the 2 1/2 hours!!  Kinda proud of this one!
Thanks for looking.  Hope you like it!   See ya soon!
