That's right, this VSBN we're going to have a GALLERY HOP ! That means that all pages for May SCS VSBN Gallery "HOP" Challenge will (start) being uploaded on Saturday, 05/03/14 into the "HOP" Gallery so we can all "oohh" and "ahhh" in one easy place ....and "HOP" through the gallery inspiration

Here's How It works:

1. There will be 5 types of challenges - Sketch, Theme, Inspiration, Quotes and Recipe (these are listed below). There will be 3 challenges in each Type. You are welcome to do all 3 in each type or 1 in each type or all 15 challenges which would be the 5 types and all 3 challenges! VSBN Challenge Pages cannot be combined so you cannot have 2 VSBN challenges or more for 1 upload. 1 VSBN Challenge per page, you can however include other challenges
2. Photo your Layouts but do NOT upload
3. On Saturday, 05/03/14 starting at 0503 am EST, the May SCS VSBN HOP Gallery will be Open for Uploading. Key Word May14VSBNHOP Add as many pages as you have done

These sound great! Thanks for all of this work!

[smadson]

So is this our chat thread too? We have one week to get our pages done? Lela, you do such a great job on scrapping for SCS and us! Thank you!!!

[Lmn]

I really hope everyone has fun. I'm super excited for upload Saturday
(0503) to do a Gallery HOP on National Scrapbook Day!

We'll have a separate thread for everyone to link their pages in so we can "HOP" through and see all the fun inspiration ....

feel free to chat here

[smadson]

Wrote these all down and am thinking now!

[smadson]

Lela, are they going to advertise VSBN on the home page? . I got one of my pages done!

Sharon, great idea! I will pull together a tracking document and attach to the first thread. That will perhaps be helpful to others as well.

It is already on Facebook and will be on home page next day or so

[Annie's Pantry]

This is such a great and fun new idea... I am so excited to play and hangout! This actually stirred up a whole new batch of mojo for me...

[eeddmm]

interesting challenge and I'm going to try to work it with some of the challenges I should have been doing with a class I purchased for April. Does the last line need to be included on the page somehow?

[Lmn]

Welcome to Everyone! We thought this would be a fun way to celebrate National Scrapbooking Day 05/03

[princessp1971]

Lela great challenges. Thanks for all the work you do in putting together these VSBN's!

[Motherload]

Okay, somehow I missed this thread, so I am way behind on my scrapping! Do all the layouts have to be posted on May 3rd?

[57Diana]

Looking forward to joining everyone Saturday!!!

Cheryl, thanks for asking. The idea behind the hop was to post Saturday, however I have updated to have the VSBN Hop gallery open through May 17. Thinking maybe some of us will get a little time for scrapping Mothers day weekend.

[fresshe]

Oh, good, I have not gotten anything scrapped this week! I had an allergic reaction to something and work was all I could get done each day!

[smadson]

Lela, so does every page have the same keyword? It isn't different for each challenge? Just checking. Getting excited. I have some done! Yay!

Thanks for asking Sharon, the Key Word is : May14VSBNHOP
We have 1 Key word so all pages go into the same gallery so we can "hop" through and view

I added a Challenge Document to the FIRST Post if it's easier to print out and keep track of challenges

[AnniePanda]

Thanks Lela for the excel sheet, makes it lots easier to track and read at a glance.

You're welcome. Great Suggestion by Sharon It does make it much easier to figure out what challenge you're working on now and next as you go through your picture boxes

[Lmn]

Happy
National
Scrapbooking
Day!!

Let the FUN & Scrapping Carry On!

[smadson]

Lela, when I download the chart it just is garbage, probably because I don't have excel!
Anyway, I am glad that Joyce Ann was able to get it. I am about ready to upload more pages.

I put it on a WORD Doc for you ...

Where is everyone I wonder?

[smadson]

Thank you Lela!!! Got it printed.

I don't know where everyone is! Not everyone gets up as early as Joyce
Ann and I. LOL I couldn't believe it, when I checked early this morning and you and Joyce Ann had already uploaded pages! So, I headed downstairs and uploaded mine!
It started slow for VSN last night, too.
I am looking forward to the first Blue challenge at 1:45!

[gater62]

I seem to be missing something. How do I find the challenges? I see them here, but don't find a link that would lead me to the actual challenges.

We are glad you're here Scrapping with us

We are celebrating National Scrapbooking Day with trying something new. All of the Challenges are listed here in this thread. (see Up above). When you complete your pages for the challenges, you upload them to the Gallery using the KEY WORD : May14VSBNHop. You then put a LINK to your pages in THIS THREAD. That way we can all "HOP" through and see everyone's pages

[Annie's Pantry]

I am here.... I love combining my derby tailgate party with national scrapbook day. My two most favorite things in the word next to family and fishin'

Yay, multi-tasking is what we do and Love best

[princessp1971]

I have four pages completed! These are fun challenges!

[Annie's Pantry]

Question: I was looking for the "blue" challenges?

Never mind... I found my answer! Just getting ahead a schedule...

[Lmn]

I forgot to save a FORUM SPOT for the BLUE Challenges (oops :oops: ).

SO.... they are posted in their OWN THREAD HERE

Hopefully that may make it easier to find?

[smadson]

Found the Blue challenge! Are you going to upload your pages Patti?

Next question: If I am looking for the sketch challenges, where do I find the sketches? I'm not finding a link in the post outlining the challenges. I feel lost!
