In Less Than Ten


What can you create in ten minutes or less?  For some quick and easy stamped card ideas check out Take Ten magazine, published by Stampington.

Inside this current issue of Take Ten you’ll find my holiday inspired project using stamped letters and vintage embroidered letters.

I used recycled materials to create my trio of dressed-up containers.  And BTW, the examples shown above cost less than ten bucks, containers and all! 

As you already know I’m a huge fan of repurposing containers, tin cans being a favorite.  Here’s an altered one that’s all about layering polka-dots.

Everything about polka-dots makes me feel sunny…what about you, what brings you sunshine?

    Hi Hi Becky,
    We are in Prague having a great time. As soon as I get back, I will buy Take Ten. I love your idea and you are now officially one of my Rock Stars!i actually enjoy Take Ten more than Sampler’s Stamper but that might be because I don’t have a long attention span 🙂

    Anxious to see what is below, too!

    Hugs,
    Suz
