Jen, thank you so much for the challenge, I absolutely loved it. I haven't felt like stamping in ages, my mojo was gone, but you so inspired me with this challenge, so thank you so much!
Here's my challenge, I had done most of it before you clarified the rules, so I only used two sets and my snap stamps for the sentiment for the whole set.
The mini brag book is empty at the moment, but I am going to fill it with inspiring quotes to send to one of my friends.
My favorite thing is the shaker card I think.
ok ladies....you gals are awesome!!! i am posting here bc i have company this week and can't get away long enough to comment on everyone' s great creations! so, just bc i don't comment doesn't mean i don't absolutely love; i just can't get away to be on the computer.
Wow! Everyone's projects are just fabulous! I'm really impressed!
I can't imagine how Jen is going to turn this challenge into a contest. I could not pick just one!!!!
I'd better get back to work, I still have a couple of pieces left!

I'm not picking the winner! :mrgreen:
But I do need to pick the finalists so y'all can vote. The last time I made a poll, the limit was 10. (Not sure if it's changed.) Still... Just picking 10 will be sooooooooo hard!
All of the sets have been so amazing! Thanks for playing ladies! You're fabulous!
I just want everyone to see that it is possible to do this challenge without a digital camera, I am not actually finished but don't want anyone to be discouraged because you can make flat stuff that is cool. Click to see>Everything Flat on the Scanner-no Digital Camera needed!
So, I'm finally starting to work on this challenge, drawing a big blank now -- I guess I need some clarification! If we pick one stamp set and 1 background stamp, are we limited to those same stamps for everything? Otherwise, if I'm using petal prints as my main stamp set, can I use weathered on some projects and then switch and use french script in lieu of weathered on another project?

Jen, that was the BEST challenge I have yet to participate in, and definitely the most challenging challenge! Thanks for your hard work, it was sooo much fun! I am finally done, and I will upload tomorrow!

so all night I was thinking what dop i have on hand, if wanted to try to do this (on the scanner)...it would end up being post-it note holders and cards.
I have lots of 3 D stuff. can insulators, candles, jars...
I am still going to be thinking and IF I can come up with enough items to use the full sheet of paper, I am going to try with the scanner.
On the bright side, I am getting a lot done on my "Twisted & Demented" swap HeHe
Everyone has done an awesome job. My stuff is done, and I was reading about no post Sunday, so I will wait until tomorrow morning to upload mine. I am new here and still learning.

thinking on the possibilities!
Jen, This is such a COOL CHALLENGE that it has me at least thinking of all the possibilities! I gave DH a slight punch in the arm yesterday and said "See, this is why Momma needs a Digital Camera!" LOL
He has one of these HUGE cameras with all the HUGE lens etc. and swears that we do not need anything else. My friend Connie keeps telling him to get me one so I can submit my SB pages to magazines.
I do not have one of those "stitch" programs so I can not scan anything 12 x12.
anyway, even if it is not until down the road, I am going to be doing this challenge, and I may turn it into a workshop...IT really is a FAB CHALLENGE Thanks !!!
Man.. staging, taking picture, and uploading took me an HOUR!!!! no wonder so many of you waited another day. whew!! anyway... here's my collection. i call it, Ode to Dots. lol
Jen, this was a blast to do. I have posted all my cards and 3D items to the LSC79 link, but I will only post my group picture here because of so much copying and pasting. Here is my group which consisted of 7 cards, a mini legal pad, a pen, and a candle. This was one of the most challenging ones I have participated in and I loved every minute of it and it was so much fun...Thanks Jen for all that you do, we really do appreciate you!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What a great challenge Jen! I'm not participating but I'm enjoying looking at the submissions. They are all wonderful! How in the world are you ever going to pick finalists? and how will anyone pick a winner?? You may have to pick straws or ask people to pick a number between 1 and 1,000,000! Good luck! Ok, back to surfing I go.....
Whew!! I'm finished! I really should be packing - we're moving in 2 weeks across the country. But every time I start packing away my stamp room, I sit down & start to play! Lucky, I'm a Fan Club member so was able to download today.
This was too much fun! Everyone needs to try the Monkey Bread in my recipe card! It's really good and easy!
Well I am glad and sad that I read every post to get to this point. Glad because I didn't know I could upload today, I haven't yet because it just feels like I'm breaking the rules, lol. Another great reason to be a Fan club Member though !!!!! And I am sad because I read the negative post and it bothered me so much, I knew Jen would have something cool for us to do this holiday week end and I have been looking forward to seeing it posted. This was awesome and so sneaky smart to keep us busy at our stamping tables, you and Jami are brilliant ( on top of Jami being a smarty-pants ). Now I see that Jen is taking a break for the future, I can accept this for her needs for her family but I would have been one unhappy person if it were due to negative comments from anyone! Luv ya Jen
Well this was a Labor of Love and did I ever have fun doing it, here is my group shot and I have individual pics in my gallery of everything except the Starbucks bottle:

Where Jenn Balcer says it is ok for Fan Club members to upload on Sundays (since we have instant approval) as long as they categorize the uploads properly. HTH.
I just read the post Jami referred to -- but I'm still confused -- does that mean that Fan Club members can upload on Sundays all the time, as long as they categorize properly? If so, that's news to me! Welcome news!!!
Oh my I'm finally done -- Jen and Jami thank you for such a fun and fantastic challenge. I've tried things today I've been wanting to do for a long time now!!!
I learned something new too, if you use a sea sponge and sponge your background, then stamp over with your stamp, and if you grab your Mean Green instead of water to mist your image, you really get a very different look -- it sorta bleaches out in certain areas.

Yes that is exactly what it means, just categorize properly! Fan Club Members have automatic upload approval from now on out!!!!!
I am more than 3/4 done with mine but need a couple of last minute things to finish it. I am almost nervous to post it because everything posted so far is awesome!! Great job to everyone who has posted so far!

Thanks so much for your answer. I realized my photos were being approved instantly, but I didn't know it was for Fan Club members only. There is so much on this site, how does one possibly keep up!!! Appreciate your answer!!!
Also, I just checked out your entry -- I paniced when I saw you were using Petal Prints, because I am too, only I'm not quite done!!! Your items are BEAUTIFUL, as are all the others, and they are nothing like mine, so that made me happy!!! Totally different, though same set -- it's so much fun to look at all these entries -- tomorrow I can check them all out better and make comments!!!
