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?
Thanks to all of the Hostesses. Great challenges, really got me going and I actually think I caught some mojo again! I had the BEST time doing the challenges! When is the next one? Inquiring minds want to know - especially me! Gonna put the dates in my planner. MmmWah!
It won't be for at least a few months. If you are a fan club member I believe the next big challenge event to look forward to is Dare To Get Dirty. It's usually sometime in late July or early August. There's always the weekly challenges too. Now that my mojo is coming back I plan to try to participate in them more.
I really enjoyed reading the descriptions that people wrote for my Frosted Filter technique challenge. It was fun reading about your experience with this fun technique. And for everyone it was something new for them. It was also new for me. I will definately do it again soon. And I saw some great new ideas from those that participated.
I have to say that SCS is my absolute favorite site on the internet. So inspiring and so many awesome crafty people that are there to cheer you on.
Once again, thank you so much to all of the hostesses and behind the scenes people. I just uploaded my final two challenges...all complete! Now to catch up on commenting and, perhaps, sleep! lol
Kim, more uses for your coffee filters: if you have Brushos check out Dina's tutorial using glossy photo paper and a coffee filter. And there's a tutorial for a tie-dye look that uses them too. Sorry for not adding links, on the way to work.

If you completed them all, don't forget the Virtuoso thread!

I just watched the photo paper/coffee filter print video...Amazing! I will have to try that technique sometime after Easter. I have a feeling if I do it now my fingers will be filled with ink all the way through Sunday.

The VSN challenges were great. Thank you to the hostesses for all the wonderful ideas!
I think this is the 2nd time I have participated. Great fun. I did get 15 of them done this time. Maybe next time I will get them all done. I need to check out all the galleries and see the cards I missed.
Congrats to those who finished all the challenges!

I am still recovering from a very busy Easter weekend, and prepping for a big volunteer appreciation event for our diocese this Friday. So, I have fallen behind on my gallery gazing. I'm heading to the den with my phone and a cup of decaf tea.
It will be a while (a few days?) before we announce prize winners, but it will be done on this thread. Keep your eyes open!!

Thanks Kim, Sabrina and all the hostesses who made this VSN possible! There were so many great challenges and I love the time limit, it really made me focus and not "overthink" everything. I love the old fashioned just "stamp and color." Hugs and appreciation to all of you who made this VSN possible!

Glad I'm not the only who fell behind on gallery gazing, Kim. I'm still working my way through the galleries for VSN...but have a ways to go yet.
I echo Gracie's thanks to all of you for all you do to make VSN possible. I always love new challenges and pushes to try something I've never done before!
Thank you to everyone who works so hard to bring all this together! It’s such a fun event and always helps increase the stash while learning fun new things in the process. Love VSN!!!

No thanks due to me in this instance (except for moving a few cards not uploaded to the Here to There VSN gallery). Kim, Misti and Lee are your friendly VSN coordinators.
Sabrina, thank you for the correction and for your part in VSN, too! So, a huge thank you to KIM, MISTI and LEE for all the time they put in to make this VSN possible!

This was my first VSN experience and even though I only completed the 3 minis and 5 of the main challenges I feel as if I learnt a lot. Hopefully next time I'll be able to complete more. I would like to extend my thanks to all the hostesses who contributed to the organization and running of VSN. I know it's a lot of hard work and it's much appreciated!!
Here are the Gift Card prizes. Anyone who participated in any challenge was eligible. We had done 6 month Fan Club subscriptions in the past, but there were some glitches (another reason for the delay in prizes)
So, these winners need to check their boxes for private messages to see how to receive a Big Box craft store gift card from a mod. I used a random number generator (and honestly, it gave me numbers for Lee FOUR times!) to coordinate with pictures in the VSN gallery.
The winners are... (be sure to send them some gallery love!)
I was completely surprised to win a prize. I had forgotten all about that possibility. The VSN was so much fun. I loved the theme and the challenges. Thanks to all.
I am very grateful to everyone at SCS who work so hard to keep all of us stamper's inspired. I just love waking up, not knowing where my creativity will land, until I click on SCS. My engine gets revved and I'm always amazed at everyone's interpretation of the challenges. So much talent out there! So fun! Special thanks to LuvLee, for the wonderful goody box. I'll use it all!
