I use roll on aspercreme when my arthritis flairs up in my hands!

[annsforte3]

Yes, first challenge is up!! Go Misti!!

[ScrappinCEO]

I might have to give the dog a bit of chair time. Unfortunately, he zonks and snores so not sure he'd be up for just an hour. LOL. He might have to take what he can get. LOL

I still need to finish rearranging the work table but can do that in between challenges.

Someone way back started the challenges in the EST, so we have continued them that way. I still have to remind myself that it isn't starting in my time zone so I have to remember that!

[LuvLee]

Yeah why do we continue that way? LOL I live in Mountain Time!

[tessaduck]

I'm in the Pacific time zone. I've learned to subtract three hours. Virtual Stamp "Night" for me is in the afternoon.

I never remember if it's EST or EDT... CST or CDT...


seriously, which is standard?? "Moving" the time forward or backward?? CRAZY system, isn't it?




But... I am with Lydia...CENTRAL time is best!

[cnsteele]

I see you are in PA, too. We have LOTS of rain here in Pittsburgh right now, too. The rain messes with DH's head - he feels foggy and off balance. I hope your gloves help so you can play along!

[LuvLee]

I want to abolish daylight savings! No point to it anymore!

We're having our third snowstorm in a week! Welcome to springtime in the Rockies!!

[Margscardcrazy]

Hi everyone, we are away traveling in our caravan so I'm up against it a little. Here are a couple of photos of lastnight in the van with me doing some watercolouring.

I want to,live where you live....I love snow! We got NOTHING this winter

[annsforte3]

Wow Marg, You are a trooper!! Your seats in there look very comfortable!

[cnsteele]

What a great set-up! I am impressed you can decide what to travel with...I usually leave it all home when we go on vacation because I just can't choose. Is a caravan the same as an RV (recreation vehicle) in the US? They seem so cozy!

[Kemernow]

Where do I post my card so evryone can see it?

There are instructions in each challenge (it is the same instructions, just the keyword changes). Here is the link to the 5pm challenge so you can see what I am talking about. The keyword to use is located at the top of the challenge post.

[CraftyMerla]

Kandie you also want to add the link to the thread for that challenge, just like we do on our alpha challenge. This way those that are chatting are sure to see your card as well. The links are all on the challenge post.

[Hawaiian]

Ok mine is done

[berlycece]

Hello to anyone who has just joined us! The 2nd challenge has been posted.

• If you cannot play live... (maybe you are still at work, sneaking a peek at these threads...don't worry, I won't tell anybody!) you can join later.
• If this is your first VSN...or first in a while...feel free to ask questions! Some of us practically live here, and love our new virtual neighbors!
• You do NOT have to play the challenges in order. It's common to skip one, then come back when the inspiration hits you.
• You do NOT have to upload within the same hour as you stamp. Many times, people will upload several projects to the gallery at once
• Speaking of the gallery...be sure to follow the instructions found on each challenge thread. For starters, when selecting a Main gallery, do not go by the stamp set...choose Events & Special Collections. Also, double check your keyword. All challenges for this event start with APRVSN17...then a different letter for the specific challenge
• You do NOT have to complete all the challenges....but...

We will have a Queen/King Thread and a special prize for someone who completes a separate card for each challenge! More details coming soon!!



Happy Stamping!!

I'm from PA as well and we go soaked today. I can sympathize with your husband. I've been a fog since yesterday morning from the weather. I'm hoping the weather and my head clear by tomorrow morning.

[javagirl984]

Hi ladies. I'm finally here and ready to stamp. It's cold and damp outside from the ton of rain we got today. So I'm ready to get inky inside. Only a few more minutes until my challenge goes up. Now I'm off to play along with the rest of the challenges. I've got my snarky stamp set ready and my puppy stamp ready. Woohoo!

I love this! I go camping with my mom in her RV. I usually take my stamp stuff along. I'm either outside stamping or if the weather isn't so nice then I'm in the camper stamping. It's nice to see someone else that does the same.

[berlycece]

The third challenge is LIVE!!

[Kemernow]

Which thread do I post in so others can see my cards?!!

[annsforte3]

Kandie, Post to the challenge thread that is for that challenge.


So post your A card to APRVSN17A ~ Friday, March 31 - 5 pm ET ~ Funny Friends ~ Scraperwannabe by Scraperwannabe at Splitcoaststampers

After you upload your card to the April Fools VSN gallery, you link your card to the specific challenge thread. That gets the most views. If you are not a fan club member, it will take a little time for your gallery photo to show up for other people...but not too long.


Have you been able to figure out the gallery?

I don't see the challenge in the master challenge thread. Not sure if you were aware of that.
