Calling all fellow newbies for .:SAT, NOV. 19th:.

[avonlea]

****edited for VSN #6!*****

There will be a Virtual Stamping Night (VSN), Saturday, November 19th, 2005! (There won't be one in October due to Galleryy upgrades/under construction time.)

I thought I'd post the link to the Virtual Stamp Night forum ( <---CLICK!) for those who are still getting to know how this great Forum works. This is the "location" for VSN! You will only start to see the new challenges in new threads when it begins! Before then...all is quiet as stampers tidy up their spaces! ;)

To get to the VSN Forum your own...

1. Click on 'Forums' at the very top of the page. You'll see the Forums "homepage".
2. Then click on "Splitcoast Challenges",
3. then click "Virtual Stamp Night"! (towards the bottom of the list)

Not sure what this is all about? Where does it start? WILL THERE BE PRIZES?!

CLICK HERE for info & to ask questions about November's VSN. <---Please ask any questions in there or RIGHT HERE!

Wow! This is so nice for new people to have all of this info in one place! It's also nice for "not so new" people too!


Great idea,

Melissa

[Shanon]

Have a blast girls!!! Don't get too crazy!!!:p

[avonlea]

I hope some newbies will join us!

Here's an analogy which I came up with...hope it helps!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~An analogy~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
(for people who don't know what VSN is about)

*Imagine* that you're going over to someone's house to make a bunch of cards. Imagine that there will be 13 people who will take turns "teaching" a technique or design every 45 minutes. You're taking your supplies with you but you have *no idea* what you'll be making!

• MonTigg (Aubrey is her name) will be like the "demonstrator" to whose house you're going.
• The 13 members of Splitcoaststampers whom she recruited will be the "hostesses".
• Aubrey's "house" is The Virtual Stamp Night forum! :cool:
• Each of the hostesses will be picking different cards for little prizes! Oh, and there are TWO bonus rounds with 2 'bonus' hostesses! Woot!

Click here for the Guidelines & Rules for NOVVSN.

Please ask if you have any questions! You may ask in the NOVEMBER VSN - Virtual Stamp Night! thread <---click!
or
right in here.



Click here for excellent directions on how to upload your cards!

PS this is the *perfect* opportunity to organize/tidy up your stamp space! ;)

Thanks for the analogy & guidelines. It sounds like a blast! I'm going to be hurrying home from visiting with family so that I can catch the last couple of hours. See you tonight!

[Michelle Laycock]

I just want to add, that if you can't actually join in with making the challenge cards, its super fun to watch all the uploads and make comments!


You are welcome to join in that way too!

OK, so I am sooooooo IN for VSN tomorrow night! I've never done this and very excited to participate. For all you experienced with VSN, please let me know if you have any advice for anything I am missing:

• Got the Rules
• Understand the Concept
• Have my list of supplies & hitting the craft store tonight
• Blocked out my calendar - put the teens in charge of the toddler :p
• Cleaning my craft desk tonight (and the house so I don't feel guilty for not getting up tomorrow night!) :(
• Got the instructions for uploading
• Juiced up the ink pads, re-organized and re-re-organized paper & stamps

Ummm, I think that's about it - am I ready? Any other advice?
