I told you last week about the
24 Hour Scramble that the ladies at the
Hero Arts flickr group launched.....we had 24 hours of 90-minute challenges, each one hosted by a different member, with a different theme each time. A scramble, if you don't know, is making a card to the specifications of the Hostess, photographing it, and uploading it to the flickr group, all in 90 minutes. I was able to participate in 7 of the 12 Scrambles, and I'd like to share the cards I made today. I also challenged myself to make only Christmas cards for each challenge. So here we go!
Challenge #1 began Friday evening and was hosted by Hannah, who also organized this whole endeavor. Her challenge was to make something using green or use a Friendship theme. I went the green route, and used an older Hero Arts collage stamp, coloring it minimally:
Challenge#2, hosted by Judy, was to make a Christmas Thank You card:
You can tell I was getting tired....I debossed my panel instead of embossing it. It was bedtime for me at that point, so I stopped for some sweet dreams, and then resumed Saturday morning with
Challenge #8 from Cat: to make a shaped card and use no white or cream at all. Not using white or cream was a challenge for me, but here's what I made:
Lucille's
Challenge #9 was "An Animal of a Different Color"; I made an orange deer and a peacock (distress ink) tree!
Karen was our hostess for
Challenge #10, and her rules were to use ONLY red, cream, and gold. This one gave me fits, because the red music didn't dry enough by the time I overstamped the pine flourish background; when I embossed it in gold, the music took it, too, so there isn't as much of a contrast in the background as I'd wished for, but time was running out!
Next up was Barb in
Challenge #11. She asked that we use at least 3 different patterned papers and a Hero Arts image, besides the usual sentiment:
And for the final
Challenge #12, Janet chose the theme of "Time"; we could interpret that any way we wished. She had given us an example card which used a stamped clock over a printed paper, and that's the direction I went also.

I want to give special thanks to
Hannah, one of our youngest members, who organized the whole event. She pulled this whole thing together quickly, and then was there throughout the whole process, to answer questions and keep us all on track and updated. Bravo, Hannah!
