Title: "Winner's Podium"
Hostess: Vannessa ~saffivort~
Keyword: FEB10VSNF
Day/Date: Saturday February 27th 2010
Time: 12pm EST

Hope you've all enjoyed the Olympic events from yesterday's VSN challenges and a big warm welcome to another fun-filled day of fantastic Olympic challenges. I'm very honoured to be the first hostess of today and here's my challenge for you all.

The winners of each of the Winter Olympic events have trained and competed for years and truely do deserve recognition for all their hard work and achievements. These athletes are completely dedicated to their sport and do their countries proud. To receive their medals at the end of the competition, the winning olympic athletes each have to stand on a podium just like these girls did:

I can imagine for these athletes it must be the proudest time of their lives! They certainly get my round of applause!

To honor these Winter Olympic athletes on Splitcoast Stampers, my challenge is……for you to make a free standing pop up card to represent the winner standing tall and proud on the winner's podium. There is now a video tutorial for this technique on the same page, which is fantastic!

My samples are here and here.

Hmmm - for some reason your samples aren't coming up. Is there a way you could re-do them?? This looks like an awesome challenge!!!

I just checked them and they work fine for me - can you try again? I did have to wait for them to upload in the gallery before I could link them so maybe you were a bit quicker than me in linking them :)

Good noon everyone! I'm checking in for this challenge :)

Hey ladies!!!!!

Hi Girls! Hope we have lots of fun with this one - I know I sure did making mine!

I don't get the samples through the gallery link, but I do get them with the individual links (here and here). First time for me making one of these pop-up cards -- FUN!

Great idea for a challenge, Vannesa

We are not allowed to put our samples in the Gallery until the challenge is posted to the public. That is why you do not see the samples there. Vanessa is probably doing that right now!!!!

Good morning ladies!

This is a great challenge Vanessa!

That;s my fault - I put the wrong keywords on my photos! See how important it is to copy and paste it! LOL

It's working now - thanks!!!

It's all fixed now...NO WORRIES :)

LOL - glad you figured it out!!!

Glad that got all worked out! This is a great challenge....your sample is really cute!

Thank you! I just had to make a little egg card using this as it's such a great surprise when it pops up!

Awesome challenge! A type of card that I have never made!

Fun challenge to start the day, off to create!!

I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with!

OH how much fun....I haven't made one of these cards in a LOOOOONG TIME. Thanks for a great challenge!!

Everyone must be hard at work on the challenge which is good. These cards will be great I'm sure, just like they all have for this VSN!!!

There have been some gorgeous cards made for the other challenges - this was such a fantastic topic to do and lots of great ideas for challenges too!

I am here... but still busy for a bit! I hope to be able to join everyone for the next challenge.

My phone rang early... have been up and glued to the TV watching all the Chaos going on around the world. I am on standby for both the Red Cross and with my Church. So, I am packing as we chat. Not sure yet where and when I will leave, it all depends on the Tsunami that they are watching on the Pacific Coast.

I will give this a try...looks like fun!

I think the hubby is a little thick this am! He has planned for me to help him with errands??? It's going to take a little time for me to set him straight and then I will be joining in!

I just love this style of card. Great challenge.

I truely do admire people like yourselves who just drop everything to go and help others in need. Good Luck with wherever and whenever you go and I hope you'll be safe.

I know what you mean. I don't even tell my family about VSN this weekend and they still planned to much for me to do all of them. :( I just want to know.....how they know!

Sorry I disappeared for a bit there....was watching a video from last night....too funny!!!!

Errands during VSN??? - he must have got his weekends mixed up! LMAO

Will be great to have you joining in!

Vanessa I just love this picture for your challenge. It really represents your challenge so well. What a great job!!!

Thank you! But believe it or not it took ages to find one where you could actually see the podiums! The majority of the winning ceremony photos were headshots so you could see the medals up closer I guess. But this one was just perfect!

I'm back. I had to eat some lunch. Leftover lasagna from Romano's Maccaroni grill. Yummy!

Welcome back and you've made me peckish now and it's dinner time over here - nearly 6pm so I'll be ready for mine soon too.

That sounds yummy!!! I just finished up my oatmeal!

I had to stop and eat some lunch before I uploaded my card. Thanks for the fun challenge!

Pretty Mustard Flowers

Oh how gorgeous is your card! I love the colours and that big flower is wonderful - love the two tone petals!

I'm just getting here. My son is going to my parents' for the night, and they havent' gotten here yet to pick him up. He's 17 months old and full-steam ahead, so once he leaves, I will be able to play! Woo Hoo!!!

Thanks!

Woot! Let's hope they're here soon. It's going to be another fun-packed night of VSN!
