These are my warm cards for today's challenge. This is my story....
1. Thinking up idea for cards = (15 minutes)
2. Looking for swirley cuttlebug folder used the previous day (found it in the cuttlebug!) = (15 minutes)
3. Coloring images = (15 minutes)
4. Cutting out images with swirly tails = (20 minutes)
5. Looking for the tail I accidently cut off on the floor in case I can glue it back on = (10 minutes) *See cut off tail in card with two birds!
6. Re-Coloring & re-cutting another image because the cut off tail could not be found = (15 minutes)
7. Dinking around with walmart paperclip so ribbon lines up = (15 minutes)
8. Gluing panels together, cutting corners, setting brads and placing ribbons. = (25 minutes)
Making 15 minute *warm -up cards* including dealing with issues = A major production!!!
Moral of the story......Make warm-up cards on a Saturday when you don't have to get ready for work and have more time!
Thank you hskelly for the images!

That would be the way things would happen for me too. But, you did three in the time it would take me to do only one! Adorable cards in wonderful, bright cheery colors. Great story to accompany them. They turned out so well despite the mishaps. TFS

ROFLMAO!!! I should not have read this at work!! My co-workers are looking at me as if I grew another head!!
Well all I have to say is at least you tried to do it in the time frame allowed. I wont even go there. hahaha
Love your little cards, they are bright and cheerful. Any one that knows anything about making cards will appreciate the time and effort ..... even if they *think* it was simple and didn't take much time.
Thanks for the big smile to start off my Monday ... much appreciated!!

Very cute. Love the yellow and orange. I can relate to all the problems with the time. Time management is not my forte. With me, what can go wrong, will.
