Good morning!!! I'm so excited to be celebrating the birthday of the 10 Minute Craft Dash :) If you got here from Tiffany's blog, you're on the right track. If not, you can always start back at Paulina's.
The theme is birthday, and here's my creation:
...and of course, I made a video. I just got a camcorder (not a nice one, but hopefully better than shooting with my iPhone)- I attempted to film in HD, so make sure to select that for the video quality when you watch. Lighting was tricky, especially at the start (it kind of evens out a few minutes in), so if you have any tips, please let me know. Thanks!
So....in the video, I finished with a few seconds to spare, but I didn't get a chance to add the white gel pen dots. The photo at the top of my post is the original card, and below you'll see that I went back and added the white. I like it this way a lot more!
(I'll be submitting this card to the Moxie Fab World Birthday challenge!)
Now the prizes, for commenting on the hop:
If you play along, you could also win a HUGE gift card from Ellen Hutson, along with a fab prize pack!
Your next stop is Andrea... have fun!
