AND THEN...

there were three!



What a great, LIVE! show today. We had six countries represented this afternoon {which kind of boggles my mind} and time zones from Hawaii to Florida checking in. WOW! Thank you Scrapy Land. Your enthusiasm always makes me smile!

Today I resurrected the "Pop-Up" card that I taught during our Virtual Crop a month ago. I think I figured out a few ways to make it easier to understand.

At least I hope I did.

In its entirety - "12 VQKX Day Three"...


For this card I used my: Scor-Pal and the Revolution Lightbulbs. {I think one of these days I'll try and do an entire project with metric measurements...just to be fair to everyone. Because look - the Scor-Pal is now available in a Metric version!}

A very simple card design - that can accommodate almost any kind of die-cut embellishment. Look at some of the samples I've received...

From our friend from Sweden today...Veronica. She actually sent this to me the weekend of the Virtual Crop, but I've been holding on to it until now.



She and her boys made this for an "Earth Day" greetings. LOVE IT! She used the Scrapy Land Spaceman & Alien Exclusive and a bunch of different circles to mask off and chalk around for her planet, craters and sky.



Her little boys used the inside of the card for their signatures {don'tcha just love 3 and 5 year old signatures!!} and then look where she put her sentiment...


up top! All the times I've made a card like this and I've NEVER thought of doing this. Just goes to show - all you need is a new set of eyes on an old idea...and it's new all over again!

Thanks Veronica for sharing this...and for tuning in, right during little-boy-bedtime!

Then there's Shelly, who was busy making cards all day long. I know, because she kept sending me pictures of her fun finished projects.


Here she decorated her card "front flap" with a preprinted die-cut/sticker. She was amazed at how fast this went together.


She took the easy way out {just like I did for the SLVC sample!} and printed her sentiment from her computer. A great way to mass-produce several of these.

We have had other scrappers share their their cards too. Phyllis and Karen W. put their cards over on the Scrapy Land Message board, where we are trying to keep a running list of completed "12 VQKX" projects. {thanks again for your help Karen}

A great LIVE! show, and a fun little project. I hope you'll try one for yourself.

Friday's show will be a recorded version. I plan on filming it first thing in the morning. I can't wait to show you what I made - those of you who own a Silhouette are going to be VERY excited, I just know it.

And then Saturday's show...well, I can't even begin to tell you about Saturday's show. Nope - not even a hint yet. Not a peep out of me...no-sir-eeeee!

{cough cough - mainly because I haven't decided yet. But that'll be our little secret, okay? I've got it narrowed down at least, so that's a start}

Thanks again ladies for your participation, your enthusiasm and your wild-Scrapy Land Diva support. I couldn't do what I do without you.

Questions, comments, ideas or general scrappy tidbits, I hope you'll leave a comment here and let me know that you've made it through Day Three. {Are you sure you can handle nine more, straight, day of yours truly!?}

I'm here for your habit...
