OKAY.....so I need to know if THIS has ever happened to any of YOU, or am I the only moron who ever did this?? I was stalking the challenge last night, cleaning up my stamp room and sort of killing time waiting for the challenge to come up to see if I was big enough for it before sleeping or NOT. So I went on there, noticed the one from last week and right above it, there was another one called Garden Pickin or something like that. I thought Oh goody gee, just when I thought they were making me turn away from the flowers......here is a flower challenge talking about it being the end of summer, etc. So we were supposed to feature something from our garden....so I made a card featured Black Eyed Susans which happen to be among my favorites and we have a mass of them in your yard that bloom at the tail end of the summer. PERFECT, right? I take at least an hour making my card, being careful to watercolor it with great detail....and then I download it, tell my story, blah, blah, blah, blah......and suddenly I notice that in the time it took me to make my card SIXTY EIGHT other people have already downloaded cards!!! Holy Shnikes this is a popular one.....so I go to the gallery and only then do I realize, my stalking was foiled cuz I just did an OLD CHALLENGE.....and the new one is STILL NOT UP!!!! Needless to say, I deleted my card, and today, I happily added some scallops to the bottom which really do make it cuter I have to admit and I am up and running!! Am I the only one out there who has ever done this???? Happy Friday everyone! I'm gonna go take a NAP since I was up till the wee hours working on THIS one last night!! ;) TGIF!!! ;)

Your card is amazing.....but I have to say that your story had me laughing. I sure do hope you get a nap in after all the late nite stamping.(I would have loved to have seen your face when you saw that 68 people had already made a card for the challenge....I bet it was a priceless expression.)

I don't do many challenges, but your story made me laugh. I can just imagine the look on your face when you saw so many had already "done" the challenge. Too funny. BTW who does that embossing folder? It made your flowers look like cross stitch. I really like that look.
