C'mon, SHARE!
 

A bunch of my SCS friends and I were getting silly this afternoon and decided to show each other the very first card we'd ever posted to our Splitcoast gallery. It was great to see how much we've grown as stampers! I think we know each other too well, though, 'cause we wound up laughing so hard! So, in good humor and in the interest of making y'all smile, I'm gonna share mine here. And I promise I won't feel bad if you laugh.

Is anyone else willing to share? :mrgreen:

Ok, but only because I love you Kath (and you've already seen this!!)...

This is not in my gallery but it's one of the 1st cards I made on my own, without my handy dandy SU! demo by my side;)

Hold your applause...:rolleyes:

LMBO, Kath!!! Boy have you grown as a stamper. ;)

Here's the first card I ever posted. I was stamping YEARS before I got brave enough to post anything, though.

If you really want to know....here it is http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=77415

Yikes!!

Well carpola! All of your cards are nicer than mine. :rolleyes: Except maybe Jimmi's. LMBO!!! Sorry, Jimmi-Jam! I love you, too! Sherry, seven people favorited yours!

Okay, here's my first upload, done crookedly on a scanner with very bad cropping. Now I use my digi camera, and I'm getting much better in the photography department!

The pic was bad but the card is super cute!

Sorry, Jimmi, but I'm glad you evolved in your stamping. :)

Kath, very creative.

Sherry, you had an eye for color, I'm glad you like layers now, though. :)

I'm so glad I can amuse y'all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


hehe;)

thank you kindly! :mrgreen:

Sheesh, Maryrose! Your first card was favorited 22 times???? Wow.

Ok! Here is my first card that I posted. It was a faux postage card. I scanned it on my scanner and didn't know how to crop it.

It's not very nice of you guys to show me up like this. I thought you were going to be posting ugly cards! :confused:

Oh, I have plenty of ugly cards in my gallery! They just weren't the first post! ;)

My very first SCS card - http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...&ppuser=103320

I love looking back through my gallery and seeing how much things have changed over the last two years.

Y'all are PITIFUL!

I want to see some UGLY cards that make me LMAO, ok??

Not cute ones;)

Dig into your computers, deep into the memory and find me one :mrgreen:

Thanks for sharing, Jenn and MariLynn. Looks like I've still got the ugliest first card. :rolleyes:

WHATEVER Kath....remember mine.

ok here ya go, laugh all you want, I did...............boy did I grow!

Okay, could somebody please show me a first card that HASN'T been favorited, like SIX TIMES! I'm starting to get a complex here. ;)

You've got pretty colors on that card, Karen!

ok, here goes, my first card posted, one layer, one colour

oh yeah, and my cheap glitter glue made my ink run

Sometimes I liek to go through my gallery just to see how much I've grown!

alright but only because you seem to be so nice will I show this one..........no one told me to put down the decorative edge scissors like they should have

O.k.... you asked for it! Here is the first card I ever posted to SCS. I think it is also one of the first times I ever did the Shaving Cream technique. This one isn't an awful card (not great, just not awful), but trust me, there are some doozies in my gallery. ;)

Here is one that was posted shortly after that that isn't good at all! http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=38381

Ok...this was my first, but I'm not sure that I have really evolved that much!!

Celebrate

Nancy

Wow! It's kinda funny to see my first few cards! Here's mine:

Okay, I guess I'll show you! My first upload was actually one of the very first cards I ever made, so don't be tooooooooo excited.... :-)

http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...&ppuser=104635.

Ooooh, my! I just noticed that 16 people favorited that first card! My, my. :-)

I've been having fun looking at the first cards. How fun.

Okay, here is one where I thought the sketch challenge had to be literal -
http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...&ppuser=103320

Ummm ....yeah.

One of my very first card classes made a card eerily simaler to this.

I'm thinking the demo might have been one of the ones who favourited it!!

Heres mine....I can tell I didnt have a blender pen back then....lol....

This is labeled "MY very first card :)" I am not to much better, as soon as I started making cards this year I got sick for 3 months and could not do anything
http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...&ppuser=164565

Here's mine from July 2005:

Pocket Fun Frog

You guys are too cute. These are mostly better than the first YEAR's cards I made. . .

OK....I'll join in.....

I actually had to go back and look at my first upload, not too shabby. But then I found this little peice of artwork that I uploaded about a month after my first upload.......NOOOO my child DID NOT make this.......GO AHEAD....have a chuckle on me!!
http:////www.splitcoaststampers.com/...0&ppuser=81655

I'm shakin' my head and thinkin'......"WHAT THE......"!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Did you upload it here? :-) That would be funny!

Here's mine.

This is interesting. I went to my Earlier Cards album and there are six cards with the oldest upload date ~ April 2007. This one isn't the actual first one I'm sure, but it definitely is the worst one!

i'll share.. i didn't know how to clean up after myself and somehow got ink all over the bottom.

i didn't even know HOW to upload when i first discovered SCS!

i was a little intimidated at first to upload too.

here is my first upload...

How about a challenge?
 

On one of the Virtual Stamp Nights this challenge was posted. Start with one of your earliest cards -- maybe find one in the bottom of your card file. Then improve on it. Make the same card only better.
Here is what I did for that challenge...
Old Card
Improved Card

Keep in mind that even my "Improved Card" is now three years old. I hadn't heard about sponging the edges and I hate how I cut out around the text. Still room for improvement :mrgreen:

both links were to the same card...
