Here we go

My message board got deleted by tech support and they can't get it back....I'm not happy and I know others aren't either. If anyone from the boards comes here I am working on it as fast as I can, unfortunately we can't get anything back so we have to start over.... :( I'm sorry. On a brighter note, I got to change to a different host which is cheaper :)

Hang in there everyone...

April Virtual Crop

April Virtual Crop!
Friday, April 4th at 8:00am until Sunday, April 13th at 11:59pm

Get ready for some radical new details!!

No Crowns!
You will still be earning points, however it is not the TOTAL points that will determine the Crop Queen! The more points you earn, the more entries you will gain into a random drawing. TWO [different] names will be drawn to determine the prize winners. These two scrappers will the Crop Queens of the April Virtual Crop!

3 Layouts Per Challenge!
Just like the February VC, this time around you may complete (and count points for) up to 3 layouts for any one challenge. However, each single layout can only be counted toward one challenge for points. That is, once the LO has been posted for a particular challenge, it cannot be applied to any other challenges even though it might fulfill the subsequent challenge.

Challenge Threads!
Just like the February VC, each challenge will have it's own thread for you to upload your layout(s). Unlike the February VC, you will have the entire VC to complete each challenge.

Point System
For every 10 (ten) points you earn, you will earn 1 (one) entry into a random drawing to be done at the end of the VC for a prize and title of Crop Queen. Two winners will be drawn. Points will not be rounded up (eg. If you have 19 points, you only get one entry into the drawing, so you'd better quick finish another project before the end of the VC to bump you up over 20 and get a second entry!)

Only layouts/cards/projects started and completed during the VC count toward points. Layouts may be digital. Challenge LOs may be digital unless the challenge is a specific non-digital technique.

**VC hostess will be monitoring points and in the case of an error/miscalculation, without notice may edit an individual's calculated points to be in accordance these posted rules**

Challenge Layouts
Complete a challenge on your posted LO: 5 points

**Challenges only apply to layouts**
**LOs must be 8x8 or larger to qualify for points**

Non-Challenge Layouts
Complete & post an 8x8 or larger LO: 2 points
Complete & post a "blank" 8x8 or larger LO: 1 point
Complete & post a 6x6 or smaller LO: 1 point
Complete & post a "blank" 6x6 or smaller LO: 1 point for every 5 pages posted

**"Blank" means a LO made with the intent to add photos to it later. Eg, Circle Journal, Gift Album**

Cards
Complete & post a card: 1 point for every 3 cards posted

Projects/Altered Items
Complete & post a picture of your altered item, craft project, handmade gift, mini-album, etc etc: 2 points

**Use your best judgment on defining an "altered item". eg. A set of small items, like coasters/tags, should count as just one item. Points may be edited at the discretion of the VC hostess**

Make & Takes
Complete & post a Make & Take: 5 points

Bonus Points
Be on alert for other ways to earn bonus points during the VC!!!

Friday 4/4, 8:00pm (to kick off the VC!)
Sunday, 4/6, 8:00pm
Wednesday, 4/9, 8:00pm

April VC Challenges
5 Challenges will be posted the Thursday prior to the start of the VC. Look for additional challenges to be posted throughout the VC!

April Contest - Diecut Paper

For this month's challenge, make a layout using diecut paper. It seems like everyone is coming out with diecut papers. Let's see some creative ways that you've used those on your layouts. For this challenge you have to use a manufacturers diecut paper, not make your own with your cricuts

RULES:
1. The layout must be a newly made layout for this challenge.
2. Post your pic. of your layout in this thread no later than April 25th to be entered into the voting.
3. One contest submission per member per month (1 or 2 page spread). Though multiple challenge submissions are welcome to help inspire our members, only submit one to the contest!
4. Deadline for layouts submission: the 25th of each month.
5. Voting on layouts will be done by members of the group through a poll on the message board, and will commence on the 26th of the month and end on the 1st of the next month.
6. Winners of the layout contest will be "published" on the Wiscrappers home page for that month, and will receive a prize.
7. The winner will also be featured on the Wiscrapper home page as the "Member of the Month". If the winner has already been the Member of the Month, then the second place winner will become the Member of the Month, unless they have already been the Member of the Month, then the 3rd place winner will be it, etc etc..

Have fun and I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with.

March Contest - Shaped Cards

I enjoyed the card VC so much that I wanted to do another card challenge for March. I also enjoyed all the shaped cards everyone did so for this month's challenge, make a shaped card (not square or rectangle Lori lol).

Your cards must be newly made ones (you can't submit something you've made already). One entry per person. You must post your card before March 25th.

Virtual Card Crop

The card VC will begin Friday at midnight (or earlier, as soon as I start posting challenges you can start doing the challenges). It will end on Monday, Feb. 25 at midnight. All challenges will be due by midnight monday, Feb. 25.

CHAT
Chat times will be Saturday 3:00 pm & Sunday 8:00 pm
Chats are worth 2 points each

POINTS
You can sign up for the VC & keep track of your points in the points thread.

For every challenge completed AND posted you will get 5 points. You can do one challenge as many times as you want but you can only receive challenge points once for each challenge. Non challenge cards completed AND posted are worth 2 points.

Points Example:
If you make 10 of the same card and it was a challenge you only need to post 1 pic with all 10 cards in it and your total points would 23, 5 for the challenge & 2 points each for the other 9. Got it? Good

There will also be chances of getting some bonus points throughout the VC.

POSTING YOUR PICS
I will start a new thread for each challenge, this is where you will post your pic for that challenge.
There will be a thread for non challenge pics also.

NOW TO THE GOOD STUFF...PRIZES!
At the end of the crop I will check over everyones points and the one with the most points will be crowned CARD QUEEN. I will also draw a name (card queen will be excluded) for a prize. For every challenge you complete, you'll get an entry for the drawing. If you complete all the challenges, you will get another entry for the drawing.

There might be a project to go along with the card vc so keep a watch out for that. It'll be worth some points too!

Got any questions? Let me know.
