Splitcoaststampers.com - the world's #1 papercrafting community
You're currently viewing Splitcoaststampers as a GUEST. We pride ourselves on being great hosts, but guests have limited access to some of our incredible artwork, our lively forums and other super cool features of the site! You can join our incredible papercrafting community at NO COST. So what are you waiting for?
Hello everyone, I hope this works...it is my first time at starting the favourites of the week thread (or any thread for that matter)....if ever a Splitcoastie could break something, it would be me!!
I was looking over my own favs of the week and it really struck me how far and wide we are spread around the world. Our seasons are so different, it's summer here, yesterday it was 100F / 38C in Melbourne. I read that many of you are shovelling snow!! Our spelling is often different, I showed great restraint in not putting the letter "U" in the heading when typing 'favourites'.
The major differences are the time and date. In Australia we would write todays date as 8/2/15. When this challenge goes live (hopefully) at 10pm EST USA on Saturday the 7th, it will be 2pm EST on Sunday the 8th.
We might all be very different, but we all share our love for Splitcoaststampers!!
This is the place to link all the fabulous favorites you discovered in the SCS Gallery last week. Everyone is welcome to join in.
Our dedicated team members will be making the notifications: Brenda (tessaduck), Vicki (vdm), Priscilla (catluvr2), Linda (Holstein), Stacy (JBgreendawn) and me.
Virtual Stamp Night mini! Are you playing?

Awesome start for your first thread, Susie! Thanks.
I'm noticing that there's quite a few mini vsn cards in my favorites (and my CAS favorites) for last week, and the fun "I Treasure You" challenges only went live last night! Anyway, here's my list:
Susie, your opening of the thread was well-thought out, sincere....and had the wonderful twist of your humor. You've done a stellar job...and nothing is broken! : )
Thank you for your kind listing of three of my cards. Your day is well under way and mine is closing...but what a lovely closing you given me....and being the one to notify me is the "cherry on top". Hugs, Salllie
Thank you, Nancy, for your continued support and making me feel like a million by listing two of my cards on your list. I so appreciate it. Thanks for the notifications, Susie. Hugs, sallie
Thank you all for your lovely words, you sure know how to make a girl feel special. Nancy (stiz2003) thank you soooo much for choosing all three of my cards and a big, big thank you to Brenda (tessaduck) and Polly (peeps321) for choosing my Steampunk with a dash of Worcestershire Sauce.
I have insider information and I know that happy mail is on the way from Linda...thank you!!!

LOL Peggy...as a "lady of notification" and my Ooops card being on your amazing list, I am honoured and very, very happy!! I hope you have a wonderous week too!

Another week of beautiful cards, as well as a great introduction to the favorites by Susie. Here are some of my favs. I have to admit that sometimes I get carried away looking at cards and forget to hit the favorite button, so some of my favs are missing.
Greenie (aka Sue...aka irishgreensue) Thank you so much for including my Steampunk with a dash of Worcestershire Sauce card...it is starting to smell really bad, I may have to bury it!! I will be happy dancing during the burial thanks to you.

Thank you, Sue(irish green), for including my card on your list. Lovely news to wake up to on a Sunday AM. Thanks, Susie, for bringing me that news. Hugs, Sallie
Susie you are such a SWEETIE!
Thank you for putting not 1 but 2 of my cards on your favorite of the week list, I'm so honoured.
As a recent newbie I didn't even knew of this topic, there are so many things on SCS to look at and it will take some time before I have looked in every nook and cranny and opened every door to see what's on the other side.
And boy o boy there is a lot to see, such wonderful cards and other creations from talented people just as you said from around the world.
I must say everyone is so kind and helping, It's a pleasure to be a member of this community.
Aw....thank you for the L♥ve this morning, Francie! I'm always amazed to be included as part of this forum of wonderful stampers! Big Hugs & Blessings to you and Linda today for the notice~
