Basically Im super busy but wanted to post some sort of eye candy for you 😀
Read to the end because I have a bit of a challenge for you all who, like me, am short on stamp time this week.
SHORT POST TODAY
Saturday I have a super HUGE announcement that is going to get every stamper excited! I know I can’t even sleep over it! Because of that, Im tying up some loose ends here to get everything ready for everyone 😀 Trust me, its a DO NOT MISS! The biggest thing I have ever done-enough said.
In the meantime, I have been meaning to post these 4 cards, all done with the Silent Night from Lizzie Anne Designs.
I went with the attempt at under 5 minutes each.
Sometimes its gorgeous, other times, maybe a few extra minutes would help! LOL!
Here is what I got-
Wise men
I think this card is STUNNING! 😀
I just used glossy cardstock, and sponge daubers with my ink.
Layered it with vellum cardstock, and in seriously like 4 minutes this card was born
A perfect under 5 card!
Keeping with simple……
Silent and soft
OK Im truly not crazy about this but again I tried to get this done in under 5 min. Not my best work.
I stamped the vellum cardstock with white StazOn and made it a soft window card.
The cardstock is a shimmer baby blue.
I think its a bit too plain, but the die cutting of the windows took me a little time, so keeping with my time limit, its OK.
Spectrum City
OK remember “back in the day” when people would stamp their Spectrum ink pad onto some cardstock, then stamp the image onto it? Well that is what I did with this. Not loving the brightness of the blues, but I do like the look.
I then cut out the layer and layered it onto white.
Stamped my sentiment, and done!
Well that is it for me.
I’ll be back later-the release for All That Scraps release party is tonight! 8pm EST-don’t miss it.
As always thianks for stopping by! I hope you get inspired in some way when you visit.
Today I want to challenge YOU to make 3 cards, same stamp set-in under 5 minutes!!
DON’T over think it!! Just go with it. Use an old layout, and keep it SIMPLE! OK!
Ready-set-GO!

good challenge…I’ll give it a shot tonight 🙂
I can’t wait for the announcement! Do I have an idea? I’m super excited!
Okay, challenge on….. It’s 9:47 am and I don’t have to pick up Joey until 11:15. I ‘should’ do the housework but I won’t (just for you, okay).
Love the cards – especially the first one! Okay, it’s now 9:48. I’m outta here!
Hugs!!!
Gorgeous! And I can’t wait to see what you are up to! Take it easy…
I love these cards Lauren. They all make great Christmas cards!
Love the wide ribbon you used.
ABSOLUTELY ADORE the first card! You definitely hit a home run with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hey Lauren, you said there were four cards and I only saw three! And, no fair teasing us with this super big thing coming up! Now how are we supposed to sleep?
Love your cards, but the first one is the best!
Oh these are beautiful! I hope it is your own stamp line! You are so talented and inspiring!!!!
Oh Lauren I love these cards so very elegant. You go girl I don’t know how you keep up with all you have to do. You are a great inspiration to us all.

I love all the cards Lauren but I specially love the 2nd one, it looks so peaceful. In between making veggie soup & apple pie, my family now want something else to eat. No time for me tonight to make my cards…sob sob..lol Lauren, please let me in on your secret or do you have more hours in the day than me lol
Lotsa luv x
Me again, by the by,,,,, its 5.06pm here

oh goodness, I couldn’t get the cardstock all cut out in 5 minutes! but I will accept your challenge to make 3 cards! 😉
I think you did a great job on all of them, but that last one really caught my eye. boy, do I remember those spectrum pad days – not even sure where all 12+ of mine are anymore. remember that we also HAD to have each new color spectrum that came out?! 😀 oh gosh, memories…… but am I really any different with my new card ‘addictions’?! hmmmmmmm……….
The first card was my favorite! Soft and elegant. Staying busy is good, “an idol mind is the devils work shop”. We all know he has enough space to work without helping.
Oh girl, not sure I will get stamp time tonight…My son has a swim meet..But will try tomorrow night. I like your thought cards under 5 minutes. I absolutely love the first card!!
Don’t know how much stamping time I’m going to get between now and Saturday, but can’t wait for your big announcement.
Gorgeous!
I’m making Christopher’s Pumpkin Patch Party Invites… but later this week, I intend to take this challenge. Maybe I will actually get started on my Christmas Cards.
Pray I find a job! Mama needs new stamps.
HUGS!

A mom’s work is never done. I know I have plenty of things I should be doing. I hope your day went well.
Lovely cards, I too like the first one a lot.
Love your first card especially. I did mine (not 5 minutes though – the quickest was about 7!). You can find them

Really have me intrigued about your news!
This probably sounds silly, but I am drooling over the bow you made in that first card – it is PERFECT!! How DO you do it???
BIG announcement eh? Bigger than ANYTHING else? Hmmm… I am intrigued. How am I going to sleep now? Can I guess? Is it your own stamp line? 🙂
Best Wishes Busy Lady,
Meredith
Love your new cards…..I finally have a card up for your Saturday Sketch. I’m at my Mom’s….they are still working on our computer. Frustrating, but at least computers can be replaced! Looking forward to working on this Saturday’s sketch.
Happy Stampin! Alicia
LOVE the cards! Thanks for direct link to Lizzie Anne stamps,
will be getting a few of those.
Can hardly wait for your news.
Sandi
All of these cards are so beautiful!
Can’t wait to hear your ANNOUNCEMENT. I’ll try the challenge but no promises………..
I was just checking early in the morning to see if you made your announcement yet.
Yesterday, I made two Boo bgs and three Halloween cards, in the time I mentioned. I haven’t done the math but I think I met the challenge. 🙂
Okay, I’ll check back later~
Hugs!
i love the simple blue window card. it is elegant looking!
so love the first two cards and how you used the stamp, especially like the first one that blue is so pretty for the background!
I love all three looks!! They are so different, and so beautiful!!
Me too- your first card here is GORGEOUS!
Well I accepted the challenge! Almost evreything I do is quick but these were ridiculous! 🙂 here they are: http://tanyastampsnthings.blogspot.com/2008/10/three-for-ten.html
