Hi, this is Carla starting this week's thread. A couple of things to take note of.
First, we've got some technical challenges this week. The auto link function is not working, so please make sure to check Post #2 for instructions.
Second, check Post #3 for an important Favorites team recruitment announcement.
About this thread: The current week's FAVORITES thread is a way to give recognition to some of the standout creations shared in our SCS Gallery. This is the place to link all the fabulous favorites you discovered in the SCS Gallery last week, Sunday, October 8 through Saturday, October 14. Everyone is welcome to join in -- check my next post for directions.
Notifying this week are: Sabrina (Cook22), Carla (Covington Crafter),Carlene (Chatterbox-1), Kia (Kiagc), Shirley (wannabcre8tive), Brenda (tessaduck), Angie (ohmypaper!)
Here are my favorites for the week, so many to choose from with Falliday Fest in full swing.
The auto-formatting of hyperlinks is currently not working. If you post your Favorite cards here in the usual way, we'll be unable to tell who to notify, unless we open every single link .
Please help us out and follow one of the two options. We've done our best to make this as simple as possible. I've highlighted the new steps in red. 1. Load this week's Favorites thread in your first browser tab.
2. Open a second browser tab (or a separate window). Go to your Gallery and click on "My Favorites" on the left sidebar.
3. Click on a card you have saved in your Favorites. At the top, highlight the web address (it starts with www.splitcoaststampers.com/gallery/photo ..... and so on). Copy the web address.
4. Switch back to the first tab. Scroll down to the �Quick Reply� box at the bottom of the Favorites thread. Type the card maker's SCS user name in the box, no need to type the card name. We'll find it as long as you type the user name and paste the web address of the card.
Option 1: Simply paste the card link behind it. It will look like this,
On your keyboard, hit Enter twice to add a blank line after each card linked.
5. Repeat steps #3 and #4 as many times as needed to enter all your Favorites links. 6. When you have finished entering your links, click the �Go Advanced� button. Proofread all your entries in the �Preview� window that opens. Make sure your card links all have a blank line between each entry and that the card links work as a link back to each card.
7. Any corrections needed are done in the �Reply to Thread�message box below the �Preview� area in this new window.
8. If you had to make any corrections, click the �Preview Post� button again and re-proof. Steps#6, #7, and #8 can be repeated as many times as needed.
9. When finalized, click the �Submit Reply� button.
Please help the Favorites Team by making sure:
1. That your links work correctly.
2. The card maker�s SCS name is shown, it really helps if their name is in color.
3. Lastly, it really, really, helps if you have a blank line between each entry.
Thank you in advance for helping us make sure that no one is missed!
Each week we have newcomers to the Favorites threads. EVERYONE is invited to join in. The more participation we have, the more fun and interesting this thread will be.
If this is your first time being mentioned in this thread or you have a new blog we have blog badges found here in thispost.
Want to post a Thank You to the SCS member who nominated your card? Please do not use the �Quote� button at the bottom of the thread!! Instead,scroll down and type your response in the �Quick Reply� box. (Using the �Quote� button to reply causes the original messages to be repeated over and over. That can confuse the team, and we may notify people twice.)
Pay It Forward(optional, but nice). When you say "thank you," you are encouraged to �Pay It Forward� by linking at least one of your own Favorites from last week. You may link as many of your Favorites you wish.
Recruiting New Members, Come Join the Favorites Team!!!!
Is the Favorites thread one of your favorites? Do you enjoy spreading sunshine, goodwill and supporting the SCS community? Have I got a deal for you!!! The Fabulous Favorites Team is looking for a new team member!
Here's what it entails. Monitor the Favorites thread for cards listed in your assigned group, e.g., member names beginning with AB, CD, etc. and post notification on those cards. Notify three or four times on a Sunday and once on the following Monday. Another team member handles late notifications.
Start the thread every eight weeks. The rest of the team and I can coach you when that happens.
Notify four weekends in a row, then have a weekend off, with lots of potential for swapping or having a sub cover when life happens.
If you're interested, PM Susie (susie australia) and me. We'd love to have you join our Fabulous team!
I found many beauties in my gallery browsing this week. I used Excel to help me sort them out so I hope the links all work and you kind souls doing the notifications don't have a nightmare. Have a good and inky week all
Your links and sorting were super, Janine. Thanks for taking the time to share this week when it's a little more work than usual. And thanks for listing my card for my SIL!
Thanks for the notification, Shirley! Special thanks to Stacy for faving my triangle luminary! I made a second but haven't uploaded it yet! It was fun.
Looks like we have some issues with the links today, but I hope that will not stop you from sharing your faves with us. I have a few to add to the thread.

Hello friends, I hope some of you are interested in joining the favorites team - it is so much fun. I look forward to it every week. In fact, I am sad today because it is one of my weekends off and I don't do any notifying. At least I get to mention my own faves.
I didn't spend a ton of time in the gallery this week, but I found tons of cards to love. With Falliday Fest, and all the gorgeous techniques and cards, I am pretty sure I could have added a hundred more cards if I had more time!

Thank you to Carla for starting this week's Favorites thread, and for giving us some points on how to make our entries just a bit easier while the SCS site is not working quite right! Also, please note Thread #3...we are looking for another Favorites Team member!
I want to shout out a BIG thank you to Robin-Stamperrobin and Breanda-tessaduck for subbing in the Favorites on my behalf while I was away on vacation. I truly appreciate their thoughtfulness!! :lol:
After returning from my vacation, I had some time to look in the gallery. I found many lovely cards with Falliday Fest in full swing. These are just some of the lovelies that I found:
A week with LOTS of beautiful cards uploaded, so my heartfelt thanks, Janine(x2), Kia, Brenda(x2), Nancy, Anne, Lisa(x2), Jeannie, and Carlene(x2), for you all including cards of mine on your lists.

Thank you very much Janine, Kia and Brenda (Benzi) for mentioning my cards this week, I've got a long list and I'm not sure to manage it to put the right links but will try

Anne (jdmommy), you've made my day very sunny (though, it is mostly cloudy outside) by listing my card, CAS450, FF17LMcAree, Praise with Song, in your favorites. Thank you so much. Thanks to Carla (Covington Crafter) for delivering the good news.

Carlene, thank you so much for including my card, Moonlight Bat, in your list of favorites! You have made my day! I am honored to be included as part of this wonderful group. I also want to thank you for taking part of your Sunday to deliver such uplifting news! You are wonderful!

And, we're looking for a new team member, click here, Post #3 for the details. We'd love to have you join our fun team!!!
Oh my! Carlene, you are amazing! Thank you so very much for not only showing favoritism toward one, but two of my cards. Now, I'm not only smiling with elation, but dancing the HAPPY DANCE! Goodness, I better slow down before my heart pops! LOL! You are a gift from above for all of your generosity. Thanks!
Thanks Carla and Carlene for including me in your list of favorites for this week! It's always an honor. Have a wonderful rest of the weekend ladies! I definitely will. I just got back from an overnight trip to see my oldest daughter run in a cross country meet and to take my youngest daughter and her three friends to a concert. SO today I get to stamp!! (after I grocery shop. . .ha).
