FAVORITES for the Week Ending April 28, 2013

ChaosMom · 04-27-2013, 05:25 PM

Hi, Everyone! Welcome!!!

Happy Spring! Showers, flowers and pretty pictures in the gallery...so much to share, enjoy, bring inspiration and encouragement!

As you know, this is the special place that we recognize the Fabulous Favorites that you've discovered in the SCS Gallery each week. We encourage you to share those special masterpieces so we can all enjoy them! and give credit to those very special Crafters! So take a few appreciated minutes to link all of your special finds here to share with the rest of us! and in the process bring a smile to someone's day!

EVERYONE IS WELCOME TO LIST YOUR FAVORITES!

Our dedicated team members that will help me with notifications are: Brenda (tessaduck), Judi (Crafts), Mary (jandjccc), Stacy (JBgreendawn), and Vicki (Vdm). THANK YOU Ladies!

Thanks to all who share - your inspiration is wonderful! Thanks to all who list your FAVS - you bring a smile and a Happy Dance! and we do appreciate it!

Just a little note and a maybe a little twist to this week's thread -- I had recieved a most wonderful Thank You! recently from a new poster that I listed as one of my Favs! ( BTW It brought me as many smiles as if I were listed!) It inspired her to learn more about SCS, the thread and she too started listing her Favs! Good Stuff! all around!....so as a little CHALLENGE in this week's thread....include in your wonderful List - a newbie, someone new to your list (someone you had not listed before) or someone that you think deserving that hasn't gotten the hits or comments that you think should have.....bring us to someone deserving that we should have seen but maybe didn't.....If your list doesn't include someone like this, okay (we appreciate you time to list ALWAYS!:p)...or maybe take 5 minutes to look back at the gallery and find someone who might fit this bill and include them....bring a big smile and a bit of encouragement to this poster via this thread ;)...Whadda ya say??? Smiles are cheap = just a link away! Are you up for the challenge? ;) :p

I'll list my wonderful favorites a little later!

I just want to thank Tessaduck for listing my "Looping Butterflies" card in her list of favourites... what an honour to see my card here for everyone to see... I so appreciate you putting my card up there with so many other gorgeous entries... thank you...

Thank you Chaos Mom. By the way how did you get a photo of my kitty, Shamus? I do love my orange tabby.
I am so honored to be included on your favorite list, some of my favorite stampers are there and to be included with them makes my head spin.
I don't spend as much time combing the gallery as I'd like to. Maybe you know what I mean when I say I've got a husband who actually wants me to cook dinner, other family stuff, house keeping and blah, blah, blah... but this week I stopped by a couple times and favorited a few which I will share. I think a couple of my favorites were in Chaos Mom's list.

There hasn't been much time in the galleries this past week, so I've only a short favorite list. I'll start with the "newbie" first. She's a somewhat newbie.

cveneruso · 04-27-2013, 07:16 PM

BTW, how do you find the newbies work?

mother's daughter · 04-27-2013, 07:21 PM

Wow! I barely have the card posted and it ends up in the favorites thread.
Thank you so very much Vicki (vdm) I am honored and thrilled! And thank you for the notification too!

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Hi, Chris --

I don't know of a way to search for uploads by new members. However, you can pick someone who is new to you, rather than new to the forums. Or, select a card that has only a few comments and might otherwise be overlooked.

This link will sort all of last week's gallery uploads according to many comments they've received, starting with zero comments first: Splitcoaststampers Gallery - Cards Uploaded Last Week

And thank you for paying it forward.

Crafts · 04-27-2013, 07:44 PM

By the way... By my estimate, there are over 900 cards uploaded last week that so far have received zero comments. That's roughly a third of the uploads. :shock:

Thanks, Judi! for that awesome advice on how to find a 'newbie'....

Sometimes you just happen upon a new crafter -- sometimes we have regulars that we rely on for inspiration but taking a chance on a new name in the gallery...and like Judi said, sometimes it's just new to you....but there seem to be plenty of new uploads this past week without comments...nice to give it some luvin' here! Actually - I think you were one of my several "newbies"..

I'm excited --- with these listings - I've already found some new diamonds! How Exciting! ;)

QueenOfInkland · 04-27-2013, 08:51 PM

ChaosMom - thank you so much !! You SO made my day. I was so surprised when I saw your comment on my ATC card and then I came to this thread and what a thrill to see my ATC listed in this place of great SCS honor. I get so much inspiration from SCS and there is so much talent here. This online community brings great joy to me and to so many. Thanks, again

karrenj · 04-27-2013, 10:03 PM

Thanks so much Brenda (tessaduck) for choosing one of my cards! And thanks also to Judi (Crafts) for letting me know.

Here's my favorite card for the week (and a new gallery I've discovered!)

Cook22 · 04-28-2013, 12:58 AM

This has been a week when I've had little time for stamping and less in the gallery.
But I did spot this beauty during one of my gallery mod shifts.

Elaine, thanks so much for the mention! And, I l-o-v-e your Newbie idea! You can find newbies in the forum "Start Here", where newbies introduce themselves, sometimes they do not yet have galleries, but Lydia is faithful to welcome them! Another good way to find newbies is to click on the last page of the day, and look for work that needs some love, (awesome work from those we are not familiar with). I used to do that every night, remembering how thrilled I was that someone left me some love. Thanks to Mary for the notice too! (((Hugs)))

~CA~ · 04-28-2013, 05:15 AM

Thank you, Chris (cveneruso), for adding my card to your favorites this week. What a wonderful way to start the week!!! I'm a happy camper now! Thanks also to Brenda for the alert!

I don't really add too many cards to my favs anymore, but I did add one this week:

thanks, the looking for cards with no comments is a good idea. I've got lots of orphan cards in my gallery and when one gets some feedback it's a good feeling.
the "Start Here" idea is brilliant.
does anyone else have to push their indignant cat off of the work surface so you can complete it? If I want him to sit by him he will not come anywhere near me but when I try to do something he sits right on top of it.

Mrs Noofy · 04-28-2013, 06:04 AM

What a wonderful way to start the day! Thank you so much Peggy (jasonw1) for including two of my cards in your list of favourites this week. I really am so thrilled. Thank you also to Vicki (vdm) for giving me the 'heads-up'. Here are some of the creations in my list this week.

Hi Friends,

I didn't get a chance to create a card this week. We've had weekend company, but I thought I'd take a few minutes to list a few cards I've seen this week that I enjoyed. Thank you Elaine for asking us to list someone new, or someone who might be a bit bashful or unsure of how to navigate SCS. One of the things that makes this such a nice community is the willingness to share ideas and help one another. Here's my list today.

First I'd like to share a card that just went up in the gallery this morning. It's monochromatic done in grey scale. It takes a keen eye to visualize and execute this type of design in my humble opinion, and I absolutely love this one!

1. MFTWSC121 Sassy Sally Friends by StampinAK - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Vicki (aka basement stamper) made a lovely monochromatic creation called Starfruit Smile. I'll bet you'll agree too.

2. Starfruit Smile by basement stamper - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

And, how about this lovely card. Makes me think of warm August days.

3. Sunshine & Butterflies by ClassyCards - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Loved Linda's beautiful design this week using celery green and white. Soo pretty.

4. TLC426, Mother by Holstein - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

And Colleen's card is just plain dreamy with the lavender and blue hydrangeas.

5. Hydrangeas for Mother's Day by Smoatsmom - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Peggy always creates such pretty cards with her die cut magic. I think this card is one of my bestest (that can be a word, right?) favorites. Love that soft pink, Peggy.

6. Butterfly and Pink Roses by jasonw1 - Cards and Paper Crafts at Splitcoaststampers

Thank you to all the volunteers who help with the notifications. You do make us smile and I appreciate all you do.

Have a great week everyone.

SCS continue to rock it! While I've been on a bit of a hiatus the last few weeks in terms of stamping and posting favorites, I HAVE been steadily growing my favorites gallery. Finally getting back on track this week of sharing some of them on the Favorites forums.
