Cardstock: any
Ink: any

Techniques: You may use any technique... but if you choose to use a surprise technique like a pop-up card or a hidden message, it still needs to have a surprise theme.
If you are new to the challenges, please feel free to do this one or ANY of the challenges at any time. There is no time limit. They are not races to see who can do one first, nor are they contests of any sort. All the challenges are simply to provide inspiration and to get us stamping!

Please put LSC59A in the keyword box when uploading!
Bonus: Here's a twist on this week's LSC challenge. Incorporate this week's scrapbook sketch challenge into your surprise pages. How fun is that! Here's the link...
Ok, well, I'm already shaking...I've never thought about making anything surprising...so, this is definitely a challenge...but I will try. Thanks Jen, I think this is going to be a fun experience.

Here is my first one Jen. I don't like it much, but it will be perfect for a b-day card from my 4 year old DD. She has a friends b-day party comming up.
Wow! I'm so impressed that people are stamping tonight! I thought it would be the usual wait until the morning stamping! This is so cool... like a pajama party!
I am up stamping. Like all the cards so far. Wish I could upload mine but still having problems with my pictures. By the way, I just had a bowl of ice cream. Chocolate of course. That makes it a real VSH night. Janet

Hey Janet! I am off to bed...but I *had* to say, "HI!" Most definitely you must have chocolate to get the creative juices flowing! :razz:
Just got caught up on the other challenges from this week I did not get to yet. I ame by to see who was stalking....I mean, checking in. Can't believe this is already posted.
Off to think. May not be able to post the card until tomorrow! Thanks Jen for the surprise.
I had this idea in my head, but it took me forever to put it down on paper. Good thing this isn't a timed challenge... I'd have to count this for at least 2. Here's the surprise juggler.
*SIGH* Ok, I'm done! That took me awhile. This was my first attempt at a pop-up card. I'm not completely excited with the outcome so I may have to try another. This card could be given to spouse/granparent or whoever to reveal baby's sex...say after the ultrasound.
I keep on trying to attach a thumbnail, how come its not working?? Or should I ask, How do you do it??
It has to be pretty small, but I can't remember the measurements. It's also pretty picky about which way the longest side can be, vertical or horizontal. Thumbnail attachments scare me :eek:
Found the directions:
Thumbnail uploads from emilymomto3boys:
Click "reply" on your thread.
Scroll down after you type your message and look for the "manage attachements" button. Click on it.
A box will come up and you need to click on "browse". Find your card and click "upload".
After it is uploaded, close the box.
Then submit the thread. It should be right there!
A tip, if you are uploading a jpg photo, it must be smaller than 640 x 480. You don't have these limitations for the gallery, but you do for posting in a thread. You may have to shrink your picture a bit smaller than usual....no big deal though!

Goodnight everyone, I have to send my birthday pm's, and then off to bed I think. My 2 DGGS will be here in the morning about 7:30. 5 & 4mo. Big day ahead of us. Will be tired tomorrow, but will try and see you in the challenge sometime. Janet
I new you all would probably have posted cards way before me....but, I did finish within 2 1/2 hours...for me, that's not to bad. I was also able to combine some of this weeks challenges in with this challenge...so, does that give me extra credit. Here it is...pending approval at 2:35 a.m. edst

My very first upload in my very first challenge. Bad Sherry is a BAD influence on me! (Still pending approval as of 2:49 a.m. -- think I might have a double post -- but still drinking wine)
