Winners for Challenge #259 - Speed Humour

I hope you get a chance to go through all the entries in our last As You See It Challenge! It was so much fun because not only was it a speed stamping challenge, but it had a humour theme as well! I got a lot of chuckles looking at the entries and reading through the blog posts for them all! Thanks to all who braved the adrenaline rush of entering in a speed stamping challenge! It was the usual difficult job of picking winners but without further comment, here they are:  

Our Top Pick is: Heather Heroldt

From all accounts, Eleanor Roosevelt was a witty woman, and we've always loved this quote of hers! Heather ingeniously came up with her own design of a teabag using vellum for her card, and must have had it all figured out in her head before she started, because she finished her card in 8 min and 33 sec! This is a great example of creativity under pressure! 

Our Featured Artist is: Jules

Jules obviously has a great sense of humour and the Design Team loved her army of Grey Hares, looking like they all have some greater purpose in life! (Probably to bring us grief and a sense of passing time, right?)  We loved the little touches that she included such as the stitching around her image panel - very brave for a speed stamping challenge and the little pop of blue in the otherwise monotone grey palette. Jules completed her project in 9 min and 13 sec, well under the 10 minute deadline! Well done and so funny, Jules!

                                                    

And we think you may want to check out the following Honorable Mentions on their sites:

Challenge #259 - Speed Humour

I love listening to comedians like Robin Williams who could spout hilarity off the top of his head so fast it would leave you dizzy trying to keep up with it. If you stopped concentrating for 1 second you missed a great joke! I'm not like that. My brain runs at a much slower speed and I have to work at being funny, but this week Design Team member Amy has come up with a Speed Stamping Challenge for you, and the theme is Humour, so you'll need to loosen up your funny bone and get your laugh track in gear! You will need to create a funny card in under 10 minutes!!

When we do a speed challenge we are not expecting a detailed masterpiece from you. We want you to have fun and see what you can create in under 10 minutes! You can design it in your head or sketch it out first. You can gather all your supplies ahead of time. But once you start the cutting/stamping/die cutting/embossing /etc. process, you must start the timer! 

You have 10 minutes! Let us know, with your entry, how long it took you to complete your card or project! The key is to KISS!! Keep It Simple, Stamper!

Let's see how funny our Design Team members were in 10 min.:

Amy Jasper  9m48s

Heather Cooper 9m8s 

Jan Clothier 
Taking a break this time

Jane Knudsen 9m30s

                                    LeAnne Pugliese 7m5s                                        

Joanne James   3m41s

Here are some guidelines for the challenge:

• Create any card, scrapbooking page, 3D project or packaging   project that fits the challenge.
• You can come up with your design and gather materials before you start the clock, but once you start work, you have to complete your design in 10 min. State in your blog or description, how long it took you to make it.
• Use the given theme in your project.
• Please include the challenge graphic and link back to the   challenge in your blog post. Turn off word verification so we   can send you lots of feedback. Make sure you link the post not the whole blog to the Linky. Use #AYS259 when uploading to a public gallery.
• If you’re unsure about ‘the rules’, check the details under the Challenge Guidelines

You are invited to the Inlinkz link party!
