Taylored Expressions Key Ingredients – August 2009

Number of View: 389

Normally, I spend about 3-4 hours creating one card. Some big projects usually take 2, 3 days. So, this has been the most challengest challenge that I’ve ever participated.

I received my very first Taylored Expressions‘ Key Ingredients today. And the KI challenge this month is to create 10 minutes cards. Well, I didn’t time myself, but I was able to manage making 4 cards quickly.

All supplies are from August 2009 Key Ingredients.
