Is everyone ready to get this party started?!?!? We are so glad you're here!
We thought there couldn't possible be a better way to get started than with a Take Ten Warm Up challenge! I know what you're thinking…"I have to make a card in ten minutes???"
No, we're not asking you to do that, but we have broken the steps down into ten minute increments so you have a few time constraints to help you get things done quickly and get your creativity flowing!
- Select one of the TEN inspiration photos/color schemes from below.
- Take TEN to sketch your card and make a plan.
- Use TEN to collect supplies, trim paper, etc.
- Then TEN more to actually create and assemble your project.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY PTI!!! Let the party begin! 😉
Hard to choose for the Take 10…I like so many of them.
These are some awesome photos and colour combos. I’m finding it hard to chose one!
This looks like fun! Beautiful photos!
What a beautiful start! I told my hubby I need the weekend off…he just laughed. I hope to sneek in some card time!
Terrific inspiration photos. Cannot wait to get started! Cheers.
Great Idea for a starting project!
Cant wait to get home and get started on one of these!
Fun inspiration photos! Hard to narrow it down to one!
I need to take a break from chores & cooking to join the fun here. Will surely make it happen somehow.
Love the Take 10 Challenge! The color combos are lovely. Great warm up!
Love the take on doing a card in a series of 10….I can do it that way. The inspiration photos are so helpful. Now off to craft!
I love this warm up challenge! The photos are all inspirational. I chose the Nana Company one, because I love the vintage feel of it. Can’t wait until the next challenge!
So exciting to get started, thanks for all the effort behind this year’s huge event!!
So excited for this weekend of fun and inspiration!
What a fun kick off to this year’s SAF! 🙂
Happy Tenth Anniversary PTI! May you have 10 more. The inspiration photos are beautiful. Something for everyone!
Lots of great inspiration to choose from!
Oh my goodness, I just love all these gorgeous inspiration pics! I am so sad that I am not able to play along this year, but I am looking forward to all the lovely inspiration and fun videos. Can’t wait!
I love the Take Ten Challenge. It’s a great way to get a card done when time is limited! These color palettes are scrumptious.
This will be a nice challenge for me to warm up tomorrow morning. I’m off to bed now, since it’s almost midnight in my corner of the world (Crete, Greece).
Love all of the inspiration photos! Fun challenge!
Hope to find time to play in a couple of challenges.
Love the inspiration photos! Looking forward to playing along this weekend.
Fun warm up challenge–beautiful choices!

So happy the fun has begun! See you at the InLinkz!
Love all the inspiration photos
Oh my gosh, these are all so beautiful. Which to choose? That was the question. I went with the Griffin Bell Paper Co. because I needed a masculine card. Now I’m warmed up! ?
So excited for this weekend!
I can’t wait to try this challenge! It usually takes me forever and a day to make a card!
What beautiful inspiration photos, I just may have to use a few of these gorgeous color combos 😉 Excited to get my first SAF 2017 post!
So many fun and colorful inspirations!!! Sadly I couldn’t participate in this challenge because I don’t have any PTI products yet… Hope to join in the near future!
What a great first challenge! Lots of inspiration ideas from those photos!

Looks like a great weekend…
such great inspiration already!
So many lovely photos! It will be very difficult to choose one to make my card!
Can’t wait to get started!
THE INSPIRATION PHOTOS ARE FABULOUS!
So many wonderful pics to choose from. Saving these for future inspiration!
I had a great time and made a ton of cards for the Take Ten challenge just to get warmed up! Thanks so much for the inspiration and all of you and your team’s hard work!!
What fabulous inspiration photos!
Love them all, but the watercolor with calligraphy is my favorite! Simple, but elegant!
Everything is so inspirational that it is hard to pick just one. Especially like the berries.
These photos are so inspiring!
What a beautiful array of such different color combos and photos.
What great inspiration photos. This weekend is a bit hectic so I will probably just keep these on the back burner for when I need some craft inspiration.
The piece I chose jumped right out and screamed, “Pick me!” Great set of photos. Enjoying the challenges this weekend.
I love to print out color inspiration like this. Sometimes the hardest part for me is just deciding what colors to use.
These times challenges are always So much fun!!
Fun challenge! Love the unique color combinations.
Wishing I was home and able to participate this weekend!! So much Fun!!
Such a cute challenge… A perfect kick off for Stamp-a-faire 2017!
And the fun begins!!!
Beautiful inspiration challenge! I love all the color schemes and inspiration photos. It’s hard to choose one!
Such fabulous inspiration to start off SAF 2017! I love every single one of these — but I went right for the Vikki Chu background. Thanks for a wonderful SAF!
Thanks for the inspiration and all the projects!
Great color choices! Great challenge!
Beautiful inspiration photos! I’m saving these so I can try the other nine for future projects.
So much inspiration in this post that continued through the weekend. So enjoy SAF.
I used the last color scheme shown on my card for the 1st Anniversary Tradition Paper challenge. Love it!
This was a great kickoff, and I had trouble choosing a photo! Loving all the projects!
This is a wonderful warm up challenge. There is a nice variety of colors and designs to choose from!
What talent! The colors are awesome!
Wonderful inspiration photos. It was hard to pick one . Great to have so much choice.
I love these insp/color combo posts. I save them to use later.
Seriously so much inspiration and creativity…
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE those color schemes! Thanks for the inspiration!!
What cool color schemes! I love the dipped papers! I do have to giggle as it usually takes me about half a day, if not longer, to do a card so this would be only after a pot of high-test coffee. lol!
So many great color combos!
Great easy-going challenge to get the creative juices flowing! Loving having 3 fun days for SAF this year!!
This was a fun challenge to participate in. I know I’ll come back to the awesome color combinations, too!
I love the warm up challenge. It’s my favorite every year since it eases our SAF cardmaking. Thank you so much for all the work you put into a free online event that’s open to everyone.
