I'm so excited! and just a wee bit scared ;0) CPeep --the penultimate ETA: OMG the shame I feel as an English major) I thought that penultimate meant the absolute ultimate. My BAD.
(English degree a gazillion dollars,
Text books: a few thousand,
Blog: free,
Remembering to use the dictionary before you put your stinky ol' foot in your mouth: priceless!)
Ok what I meant to say, the absolute ULTIMATE pop-up maker-- has challenged me to a throwdown! Looks like it may be a Smackdown now! ;0) ((Bobby Flay style.) I've never made a pop-up, but I sure LOVE the looks of her 7 flower popup tutorial and am going to give it a go!
But, as an aside... I have to say for those of you who are familiar with Throwdown, that Bobby Flay is a big meanie to let those people think they have a show because they cook so well and then try to beat them. Cpeep was nice enough not to trick me into thinking I had my own craft show, lol. How clever is she with this idea, hey? I think she should have her own show: Craft Throwdown: A battle to the papercuts!
So, You get to vote for the winner; we'll cross-post our cards after this weekend.
I'm hoping that the winner or the loser (whichever I end up being) has to make you templates for some flowers, so you can try a pop-up too! :0)
P.S. I've started trying the pop-up. I'm a pop-up muck-up; not mechanically inclined! I kept cutting flowers that fell into pieces, then I put too much sticky tape... I should have used pop up dots like the pro recommends, but I was afraid that I'd need to reposition it because my flowers were the wrong size. Hmmm maybe try two/three? I'm in trouble, and not just for my BAD vocab, heehee :0)

I say you are up to the challenge. I can't wait to see what you come up with!
Hey did you do know that penultimate is LESS GOOD than ultimate? Okay, NOW I'm taking you DOWN. :)

Love the card Mel good idea for the used up pen. Please could you let me know where you purchased the ruler with holes, such a useful piece of equipment.
Wait, you were having trouble making the FLOWERS? Oh, you are in trouble.
That's okay, *I* seem to be repeating myself (above).
