June VSN - RULES, RULES, and MORE RULES
Rules, who wants stinkin' rules?
Well, in this case, think of them as "strong guidelines". All of these are just to make VSN go a bit smoother for everyone. I take full responsibility for them - AND I realize that they won't make everyone happy but I will try my best. All of the hostesses have reviewed them and will stand by them unless something unexpected happens. I also realize that these rules really cater to those that play at VSN and not those that do it after the night is over. This is intentional so that all the playing field is level for the prize seekers. Most of the fun of VSN is running around trying to finish a challenge in a certain amount of time. It wouldn't be fair to have, for example, 3 hours to do a challenge and compare it to those that had 45 minutes, now would it? Please pm me with your questions and comments!
Here they are:
1. Each person can only win one time for the whole night's activities.
2. In the event that a person wins in more than one category, she (or he) wins the first time slot of the ones she's won. For example, she wins the 5:45, 7:15, and 11:00 rounds; She only receives prizes for the 5:45 round.
3. Each hostess will pick (rank) 5 winners just in case of multiple wins. If this happens, I will notify all the round hostesses that are involved and the next in line in the ranking will become the winner for those multiple rounds.
4. All entries must be posted/uploaded by Noon on Sunday the 26th (central time).
5. All entries MUST have " JuneVSNLetter" as the keywords. THIS is how the judges will find all of the entries for their challenge. EXAMPLE: "JuneVSNC" or "JuneVSNX" It will NOT be labeled based on time (i.e. 5pm or whatever) as this was too confusing to others (per the surveys) in other time zones. There will be a list of the challenges as they are made known.
6. Hostesses will have from noon on Sunday until 5pm on Sunday to vote for winners of their challenge.
7. Hostesses are not eligible for their round but MAY participate in all other rounds.
8. I (TexasLonghorns) am excluded from any winnings (and I won't have time to make stuff anyway!) 
9. Participating in VSN is completely optional, as is entering in the challenge contests. Participants do not need to do all of the challenges to play.
10. HAVE FUN! HAVE FUN! HAVE FUN!
No grumpy, grumps here, please!
Please read these prior to the start of VSN. __________________ Geeta aka craftyengineer

I'm so excited. Glad you took all feedback into account - no way I can stamp, scan, find friends supplies and upload on Saturday night. Is that noon PT i.e. 3:00 p.m EST? It is real challenge for me to make a card in less than 2 hours!!!
Can't wait. Thanks for organizing.

June VSN rules are now a sticky!
Thanks so much to our moderator for making it a sticky. That happened so fast, I didn't even see them go there!
Be sure to read them before tomorrow night! __________________ Geeta aka craftyengineer

Thank you, Geeta! You've made it clear and answered lots of Q's people have been having regarding how much time they have, etc.
PS "Strong Guideline" #10 is my favourite!

Thanks for being so clear. I was going crazy trying to figure out things. My fault for not asking!

OK, so there are 9 hostesses ( click here to see who they are) ...and each of their challenges will be called "JuneVSN_". So.... let's say, for example, Granny Hawkins is the 1st Hostess with the first stampin' fun challenge. Her challenge will be called "JuneVSNA".
But you'll still categorize the card as per stamp set used, etc.

Thanks for the guidelines...I'm one of those weird ruler-lovers! LOL!
One question - after we upload are we posting a link to our card backon the challenge thread to let poepl know to go look - like we do in the weekly challenges?
I won't be able to play the whole time, but I hope to get a few done tonight. Thanks!

Sounds very fair. Hope every one reads the rules before they play. I will not be able to play until about 6:00 p.m. pacific time. Sure sounds like fun. Thanks again girls for all your hard work. Nancy

Hey Jami,
Changed my mind (after I was shown the light!) - Post link back to CHALLENGE THREAD. There will only be one Chit chat thread. __________________ Geeta aka craftyengineer

Hi, I'm new to all of this and was wondering if the intent is to finish a card in 45 minutes (or a set time limit-I'm in the central time zone)? Thank you!

The intent is to try to finish them in 45 minutes. There will be challenges posted every 45 minutes so try to get them done in that timeframe. That's the "FUN" of it. If you are competing for prizes, you have until noon (CST) Sunday (tomorrow) to upload a picture of your creation. Make sure you use the correct keyword label "JuneVSNLetter" where Letter is the challenge letter (you'll see in a little while). And MOST importantly, HAVE FUN! __________________ Geeta aka craftyengineer

Keywords for Uploads
Okay. I am a BIG newbie (1st day) & I went to the upload page & there is no place that says "Keyword". There's 3 upload slots & the category pull-down. That's all. So I was wondering when, where, & how we type one in??? I am so excited to try this. I have a family dinner tonight but it will only last a couple hours & then I can jump in on the fun.

Jami, It's up to you. You can just submit a card (with JuneVSNLetter in the keyword box) and be done. Or you can also put a link on the thread. Either way, the judges will see your card. Some people have a hard time with the link. Go with your preference! Have fun! |

As long as you have JuneVSNLetter in the keyword box, you won't need a link. But you absolutely can if you want! You will need 2 windows open.
On the thread, post a reply. Go to your next window. Go to your gallery and click on the card. Once there, click on the SCS name/number... where you would normally type in a web address. It will turn blue. Go to edit and click COPY. Click on the first window where you are still in the reply post. Go to Edit. Click on PASTE. Voila. You did it! |

That's the only way I know. Sorry. Once you get used to it, it's pretty fast.
Anyone else have an easier way? |

Okay, I'm SOOO not informed. I've since this reference to a "sticky" or "a stick at the top of the board" 3 times today.....I've searched and searched. Where are they?
Clueless in CT - but ready to VSN!!! Thanks so much for all the organization by everyone, it's my first time and I can't wait to get started.

Stickies are just threads that are marked special at the top of the forum.

The very top two posts in this forum ARE stickys, meaning they won't move as people post to them (or don't post to them). They are there STUCK to make it easier (HA!) to find!
HTH.

They are "held up" with a push pin. Make sure you are in the VSN forum. They will be at the top. |
