DOM Week 33...

This weeks DOM challenge is 10 minutes. Do the card in ten minutes. No theme. Whatever comes to you. I had just finished my workout and put Owen down for a nap. I set my timer. Picked a piece of light blue cardstock and then dug out the pattern papers from my scrap bin. The circle punch was on my table so I punched a few circles and glued them to the edge of the CS. I still didn't have a theme going but then I remembered the page I had torn out of Runner's World. An ad for Asics. My running shoes. So I grabbed that and punched the award circle and glued that on. Then all the water I had drank earlier hit me and I had to run upstairs for a potty break. Whilst in the bathroom I saw my shoes sitting there and decided that would be a good "stamp" for my card. Ran back down with the shoe. Inked the tread and rolled it on the card. It was still a little boring and the picture of the shoe from the ad wouldn't fit and look good so that was no good. Then I remembered reading the insert of Morgan's new shoes (also Asics) which told about the Asics name. It's a latin acronym which translated means " a sound mind in a sound body." I grabbed the insert and cut out the Asics word. Glued it down. Wrote the translation, stamped the date and was done!

Fabulous. I enjoyed doing just 10 minutes, but then it got me to thinking, if I kept more stuff layed out on my work tale think how many others I could do in say half an hour!!!
They make excellent card toppers.

That's one funky card, and done in only 10 minutes - who'd a thought?

Neat card! It *is* hard to believe it was only ten minutes! I liked the stamp even before I read, but then I had to wonder - were your shoes really, really clean?!?! How come there's no dirt in the ink? :-)
