Three hour Thursday

My blog friend Vicky has a segment on her blog called "Three Minute Thursday" featuring ideas for gorgeous cards that can be made in just 3 minutes. I am thinking of starting one for my blog called "Three hour Thursday" !! Seriously people how can a CAS card take me so long to make? I am so out of practice and maybe missing the familiar surrounds of my old craft room.
 Anyway it is done now and it is for this week's CASology # 17 where the theme is "sugar". I agree with Suze- these CASology  ladies sure know how to give those brain cells a workout !!



So sadly lacking in the brain cells (and new stamps!) department I went with the obvious and made my little "sugar" card with a paper pieced cupcake stamp with sugar sparkle (which sparkle IRL!) flower embellies. I hope you can see that my tag says "sweet friend". I also hope that you can see that I made my own button...and are suitably impressed!!

Speaking of things that take a long time- I am going to send this card to a friend who just endured a 2 hour interview for a very high pressure job and now has to wait 3 weeks to find out if she got it.! Why would you bother I think- but just as well some people want to do those important  jobs I suppose- the world wouldn't get along very far if EVERYBODY wanted to spend all their time in their craft room stamping and cutting up pretty bits of paper Lol!

This is gorgeous Robyn and yes, I am impressed with the button. I love the idea of Three Hour Thursday and it would certainly apply to the amount of time it's taking me to do ANYTHING today. Oh except it's Wednesday! Vicky x

Your cupcakes are just too sweet! I think you've taken a great photo, it really is hard to show sparkle though. I keep telling my hubby I need a new camera but in reality I think it's user error lol!

Gorgeous card Robyn - LOVE those cupcakes. I can't make a CAS card in 3 minutes EVER! It takes me at least 3 minutes to find the basic things like my ruler and scalpel knife. Maybe it is like the Ch.7 show Better Homes and Gardens where the carpenter whips up a garden seat in 3 mins in TV time but in reality, takes 3 years if you try and make it.

It actually takes me almost as long to make a CAS card as a layered card and then when I look at my CAS card, I wonder how something so simple could take soooooo long. I just don't understand.......
