FINISHED IT! FRIDAY...

and a very big Friday it is!

It's Friday the 13th, it's 2 weeks before Black Friday and it's finally time for S.L.V.C. 2.0!

I'm almost speechless. {HAH!}

First of all, let's start with some news.

Some bad news.

I said that if FIFTEEN scrappers managed to finish TWENTY Scrapy Land Starting Blox pages, I'd give away a set of dies.

Well, it didn't happen.

I even extended the deadline for you yesterday. It was originally noon MST, and I let several of you turn your pages in late. {I'm a big ol' softie, don'tcha know!}

But, while we ended up with only FOURTEEN scrappers {oh, so darn close!} those scrappers did manage to complete an astounding TWENTY-NINE pages!

But gosh, I sure do hate bad news on a Friday...

SO I'M GIVING AWAY A PRIZE ANYWAY! Woo-hoo - and you know I love giving away prizes! {Okay, I don't always love mailing them...just ask Diane and Vicki!! It's just that I hate, hate, hate our post office!}

Check out the pages for Scrapy Land Starting Blox Week #33, and then we'll talk prizes at the end of the post!

Sorry - no comments this week. No time...but know that I love seeing your finished page and knowing that one more memory is safely in place in an album! {And something is goofy with the slide-show maker. I have it selected for the slower, revolving mode I usually use but it keeps defaulting to this one. So for now, we'll have to cope with it.}

Here are the rest of the pages...

{AACK...now it's corrected itself to the revolver mode...must be late!}

Great stuff ladies...super, awesome, amazing stuff! And twenty-nine pages...holy scrap! Sometime before the year is over I am going to go back through every single Blox and add up the total number of pages that Scrapy Land Divas have completed this year! I bet it's mind boggling!

Now - on to the prizes. Since it was late when the last page came in I had to have my husband pick the winner. But it's okay, he agreed readily, and didn't make me beg or plead! {LOL}

The winner he picked will receive a Gift Set from National Scrapbook Day 2009. Remember, those great colorful sets from back in May. Well I have a couple of extras...Relax, Reuse or Enjoy. One lucky person is going to pick one of these - and the rest are going back in the "prize pool".

Hang on to your hats, because dear husband chose...

Karen E.

Congratulations Miss Karen! Email me today at scrapylandsusan@gmail.com and let me know which of those three sets you'd prefer. It's not every day that you get to pick your prize, but I decided today was one of those days!

Now, a brand new Scrapy Land Starting Blox..Week #34.

But I cheated, I admit it. It's a slight tweak of a inspiration page I did for a friend's web-site 2 weeks ago. Don't hate me because I'm busy. I changed it a little bit, but if it looks familiar it's because you might have seen it on Facebook!

A super quick and easy page - two little 3"x 3" photos and a whole bunch of patterned papers! I just love using up those sheets that I buy because they are beautiful, and then hoard forever! Go for it - use it this week and be happy because another page is in your album!

Here is the page I whipped up today - 25 minutes start to finish!

And I don't tell you 25 minutes to brag...I tell you that to let you know it IS possible! Trust me, if I can do it - anyone can do it!

For now - I'm in crisis mode. Lots to get done before S.L.V.C. 2.0 kicks off this afternoon. Things to print, photos to pick up, Blox to draw out and chocolate to dig out of the freezer!

Where it lays hidden - for times just like a 24-hour virtual crop!

I'm here for your habit...
