You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Thank you to everyone who spent so much time putting together all of the challenges. This was my second year to complete all of the challenges and I enjoyed them all again this year. It's fun to occasionally be put ouside of your comfort zone, get those creative juices flowing and use all of those supplies that are neglected during the year. When I took my cards to the post office on Saturday and they asked if there were any hazardous materials in the box I told them no, only sunshine on paper. I'm sure the postal worker is still scratching his head wondering what I was talking about.
I hope to spend the next week in the HYCCT gallery looking at all of the cards I missed seeing and leaving some comments.

I just woke up -- past the Pacific coast 9 a.m. deadline.
I made all the cards, photographed them and uploaded them. But I was too tired last night to figure out how to find them in the gallery and make links for the prize thread.
Even though I'm not eligible for any prizes, I have to say that this has been quite an experience! As a new card maker, this really stretched me out of my comfort zone. I ended up with a few cards that I absolutely hated because they were so ugly. I also ended up with a few cards that turned out so much better than I ever thought.
I plan to mail my cards this week. I bet the medical center will be deluged with pink cards this week! In the next two weeks. How wonderful!!

I have to chuckle in agreement on that - I felt the same way about several of my cards!

Can someone with a key to the prize thread go in delete my post?
I tried to upload my list, but a few of my links were wrong. When I tried to fix, I just made a bigger mess.
Lessons learned:
You CAN make due with few supplies
It is okay to make something you hate
It is good to try something you might not like, you might be surprised
Never schedule surgery during a challenge
Don't wait until the last minute to do challenge entries
People on SCS are wonderfully creative!
OK ladies...what are you doing while waiting for the prize drawing winners to be revealed? I should be cleaning and getting stuff done around the house....but I can't break myself away from this stinkin computer. LOL

Let me just say this............EVERY card, every stamper, every.single.one.of.you. are amazing and creative and inspiring!!!! I seriously feel so uplifted and encouraged!!!
I was getting my face on. Now I'm just waiting to get dressed. If I didn't have an interview I'd have brewed a pot of coffee and would be in my jammies listening to howard stern and enjoying you guys and that the kids are at school.
Oh man! I feel bummed!!! I didn't realize we had a time to upload by. I thought it was going to be all day today and close off at midnight. This is what happens when I procrastinate. Lol. I finished all 33 challenges. I just didnt upload because I was pooped yesterday.
Thanks for these challenges. A lot of them pushed me outside my comfort zone.
Congrats to all the winners!!

Congrats to all who labored down to the wire on this one! Whether you made one card or 30, they will all be appreciated by the recipients.
I've been mostly offline the last few days to hang out with my mom who is visiting. I'm sneaking a post in at work right now, but hope to be around for fun, or maybe it's the torture, of the prize announcements.

Agreed! I'd also add in to not have any small children or parrots around when you're trying to upload pictures into the gallery on a deadline. I emailed pictures from my phone to myself that never arrived, my gmail kept timing out, my firefox crashed and required a pc restart, and then once i finally get all the pics onto my computer, they were 90% upside down so that was an extra step to take to correct. arrrrgh!
Did you guys know we're above 3500 challenge entries?! holy buckets!
Amen & ditto! I didn't hate any of my cards, but I sure made some that didn't please me as much as others.
