Welcome to our champagne gala, where we are toasting our top nominations for 2011. Instead of our normal Favorites thread, this week we are doing a year-end retrospective of the best our SCS Gallery has to offer. Everyone can contribute; check my next post for directions.
Thanks in advance to our 10 volunteers. They are giving up some holiday time with their families to help with all the notifications this week: Mary (jandjccc), Kittie (kittie747), Shellie (shellied), Linda (Holstein), Sabrina (Cook22), Gail (GailNM), Dianne (diannep575), Trish (TrishG), Mary Ann (Amaranthine), and Carol (Gingerbeary8 ).
With over 237,000 gallery uploads in 2011, it was a real challenge to narrow it down to a single list. Here are some of my Favorites of the entire year.
What are your top Favorites from 2011? Everyone is invited to add links to special cards or projects that were uploaded during 2011. I'm counting on you to mention all of the other outstanding cards. Post your links and let's celebrate the level of talent here on SCS.
EVERYONE is invited to join in this thread. The more participation we have, the more interesting it will be.
Please include the screen names.
When you follow the linking directions below, the screen name is automatically part of the link. You are welcome to link another way, but when you do, be sure to also include the screen names.

Judi, I feel so honored that you chose my Home Made for Spring project for one of your favorites for 2011. Thank you so very much. I appreciate it more than you know. Happy New Year!
Happy New Year, Everyone!!!! So much talent and inspiration here at SCS - it was extremely hard to narrow this list down even as far as I did ---Thank you to all who share so much and so willingly! You provide such wonderful inspiration!
I broke my list down to Cards and projects that are not cards.... each gallery is a treasure trove of talent that is worth exploring given the time....Thanks to ALL!
I just spent two hours going through my favorites for the year. I had one difficult time picking only this many. There are so many other cards I favored throughout the year. Thanks to everyone for all your inspiration.
Happy New Year! Thanks everyone for sharing your beautiful creations here! I enjoy it so much and learn a lot.
Please keep sharing in 2012! I look forward to seeing everything!

Wow congratulations to all the honored stampers. What a job!!! Thanks so much to the volunteers that helped with this also. I will try and be more aware of saving the favorites to my album for this year.
Is there a way to just join the Favorites forum without getting all the messages from the other stuff listed on that page? I tend to forget about this because it doesn't come into my emails but when I go to the forum there are dozens of things that I don't want to join on there? Am I doing something wrong??? Thanks so much, Karen
Thank you Linda (Holstein) for picking my card as one of your favorites. What a way to end a year and start a new. Thank you Judi for all the work that you put into this forum.
How hard to narrow it down!! I tried to pare it down to 12 and failed - and still some of my favourite stampers are missing from the list - Mutnik, missro, Kittie747, Holstein, bfinlay and more should all be here too

I think you're asking about subscribing to the Favourites? Because there's a new thread each week, the only options are to check the GST forum on Sunday and subscribe to the thread (threads if you want the CAS favourites too) for that week, or to subscribe to notifications for the GST section as a whole which is what I think you are trying not to do. So if I'm understanding your question correctly, then the answer is no .
Kittie and Sherry Lynn, a big hug and thanks to you both for mentioning my cards as some of your "Favorites of 2011". I really feel honored that you would select two of my cards from the hundreds of thousands that were uploaded this past year.
Thanks to Judi and all the gals who work diligently to keep this thread going....and bringing to all of our attentions the fantastic work that is being created every week.
ChaosMom, Thank you so very much for mentioning my Fall Floral Spray and Spring Florla Wreath in the 2011 favorites. I feel so honored that mentioned two of my project and I appreciate it so much. Happy New Year!
Gail, thank you so much for mentioning my Little Red Barn card in the 2011 favorites. What a special honor it is to me to be listed here and I appreciate it wso much. Happy New Year!
Wow what an honor to be included in this thread of 2011 favorites! Thanks to Trish for mentioning my card! Thanks to all of you who work so hard to keep this thread going - and to notify everyone! The Splitcoast Gallery is a wonderful source of inspiration - can't wait to see what everyone creates in 2012! Happy New Year!
Thanks Gail for the mention of my cards in the Best of 2011. You know how to make a person feel honored. Thanks so much. I wish you a great New Year! Thanks MaryAnn(Amaranthine) for letting me know.
Thank you so much Elaine for listing my Easter Blessings Easel Card and my Fred She Said Hello Chickie project. It is simply fabulous and oh so flattering to be given such and honor.
