Title: Pick Your Favorite Valentine
Hostess: Lela (scs: LMN)
Keyword: LOVEVSBN01
Day/Date: Fri, February 01, 2013
Time: VSBN Warm Up
I stopped at Walgreens last week (unfortunately for cold meds) and walked through the Valentine Aisle of goodies. Oh what memories it brought back of the process of choosing just the right Valentines for everyone on the list. Oh yes, it was so important not to give "gushy" or "mushy" ones to boys you didn't like, right?
It was also important to make sure you brought home your list of classmates so everyone got a Valentine. It was "bad form" to miss someone, LOL!
VSBN Share the Love Event will soon be here and we want to be sure that all of our Challenge Threads Feel the Love. So this is your Chance to Pick Your Favorite Valentine.
Listed below is the links to ALL of our SCS Scrapbook Challenges. Just so no one is left off our list, I challenge you to do a PAGE / LAYOUT using 2 or more Challenges. The More the Merrier! So for instance, you might pick a Lyric/Quote Challenge, a sketch from Friday Sketch Challenge and add a theme from Inspiration Challenge --- or how about a Variety Idea with one of the fun Progressive Digi Challenges. Hearts and Flowers to all of you who can get 3 or more challenges to work for your page/layout.
This is your chance to Pick Your Favorite Valentine

Back in June of 2010 we were presented with a challenge by Jennipher that I truly enjoyed. Because patterned papers are one of my favorite scrapbooking supply items, I am asking you to challenge yourself to play in that challenge again.
Your challenge is to create a page using a least 3 different patterned papers that all include one common color palette. The patterns may be different sizes and styles but using the one common color will be what unifies the design.
There are many tricks to using patterned papers effectively, this is just one. This is not monochrome I�m suggesting here. When you are selecting your patterned papers, you are looking at the entire color palette. Usually there will be a few colors, such as rose-cream-sage or maybe purple-lime-turquoise within the pattern. Or any one of many other color combinations. Pick at least 3 papers with the same idea of color and try them together, no matter what the patterns are.
A suggestion made right here on Splitcoaststampers by Jennipher in May of �09 is to use this combo of patterns: florals and plaids, dots and stripes, botanicals and flourishes, hearts and diagonals, paisleys and checks.
I hope you will unlock any barrier that may have held you back from mixing your patterned paper stash and try this challenge.

Good morning everyone! Are you ready for a fun-filled day of scrapping?? I can�t wait, so let�s get started!
This challenge can be done by both digi and traditional scrappers!
I always find so many pages that I �favorite� to scraplift (CAS) but don�t seem to get back to do my own version very often. I loved doing this challenge way back in 2009, so I chose THIS CHALLENGE (DGC041) for my re-run!
THE CHALLENGE:
Pick a page in anyone else�s gallery (or one that you already have in your �favorites�) to scraplift.
THE ONLY RULE:
-If you�re a digi-scrapper, pick a traditional (non-digi) page to �lift.�
-If you�re a traditional scrapper, then pick a digi-scrapped page to "lift."
(If you need some ideas and don't know where to find some digi-scrappers' samples, the Digi scrap challenge threads can be found here)
Traditional challenges can be found here .

The traditional page I chose to scrapliftby Patti (princessp1971).

Having kids means I always have tons of pictures and generally many times I will use the continuous shutter option on my camera, so I am always in upload overload. Even the times I don't have this option in use I still have plenty of pictures from a single event, or day or trip.
So I knew the best challenge to start scrapping some of my pictures was originally posted by our very own Wendy B aka Wendella247 back in September of 2011.
To arrange 3 or more pictures from the same photo session in a sequence. They can be pictures of facial expressions, actions shots, a baby eating while getting messier as he/she goes along, captured clips from a video, whatever works for you!
My sample is from Maci's first dentist appointment just a couple of weeks ago.
Please remember any one can participate in this challenge as it is open to all types of scrappers whether you are traditional, hybrid, or digi.
You can view the original gallery for this challenge Here

Day/Date: Sat., Feb.9, 2013

My discovery of rubber stamps totally changed how I work in scrapbooks over the last 6 or 8 years. I used to rely solely on papers, decorative scissors and stickers to create my pages. There is a larger world out there, and I mean right here within our Splitcoaststampers web site.
Our Sharon gave us a challenge (SIC133) back in September of last year worth repeating. It will allow us to get acquainted, or reacquainted, with our tutorials. Under the category �Tutorials� please find �Stamping in Scrapbooking� by Jennie Thompson. She lists 27 ways to use stamping on our pages.
Your challenge : Look at her list and choose ways to use stamps on your page. Be brave and try at least two of the 27.
NEED TO KNOW:
1. You have a cumulative total of 2 working hours to complete the challenge. Be Fair.
2. Upload your creation with KEYWORD LoveVSBN10 by 10:00 PM EST, Sunday, February 17, 2013, to be considered for VSBN Recognition.
3. Please describe your experience with this challenge to add stamping to your layout in your upload description.
4. Post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen by the host and all visitors.
5. You can also include KEYWORD SIC133 so your creation will appear in the original challenge's gallery.
Do all of the above and you can smile. Leave some LOVE comments for your fellow scrappers and we all can smile!

PREHEAT oven to 350�F. Microwave chocolate and butter in large microwaveable bowl on HIGH 2 min. or until butter is melted. Stir until chocolate is completely melted and mixture is well blended. Add sugar; mix well. Blend in eggs and vanilla. Add flour; mix well. Cover. Refrigerate 1 hour or until dough is stiff.
SHAPE dough into 2-inch balls; insert lollipop stick into each ball. Place, 2 inches apart, on greased baking sheets.
