Oops! Got distracted by some of the questions. Here I go!

...and Done!

[berlycece]

Getting ready for the next one...are you ready?

[muscrat]

The good news is that my hands feel better. The bad news is my craft room sprang a leak with all this rain and I've been mopping up water so my floors don't buckle! No vsn for me

[tessaduck]

Heads up, all-- please remember to upload to the April fools vsn gallery. The directions are included at the end of each write up. Thanks!

That is sad on so many levels.

Kathy, I am so sorry to hear this. I hope you are able to get things cleaned up, and the leak fixed. {{{HUGS}}}

[muscrat]

Thanks ladies. I did get it mopped up but its raining again. Can't get up on the roof until it dries a bit. I did get to do the two sneak peeks. Need to upload the first one....

Not sure I'm posting the right place because this lag is so bad it sucks to be me right now but I'm done with masking just letting glue dry

LOVE your card, Joella!


We encourage everyone to post the link to your project in the specific challenge thread. That way, anyone else who has posted there will see it, and your challenge hostess will see it sooner.


Here is the direct link to the Pity the Fool thread: APRVSN17C ~ March 31 - 7 pm ET ~ Pity The Fool ~ javagirl984 by javagirl984 at Splitcoaststampers


Hope that helps!

[Kemernow]

Wheweeeee! I am POOPED. I got each one done and posted in an hour, except the 4th one was a few minutes late because I was trying to watch the final Grimm and do the card doing commercials! I think I have the hang on it now!

[annsforte3]

Congrats Kandie!!!!!!!!! You made it through the first day with flying colors!!

WooHoo!


The challenges start at 1 pm Eastern time tomorrow...so you have time to catch your breath, and maybe even sleep in a bit.

[javagirl984]

I'll see you all tomorrow. I did get the first two challenges finished and will get photos and upload tomorrow.

[Covington Crafter]

VSN hostesses, thanks for the inspiration of your marvelous challenges! I know it's lots of work to plan these and make samples. I've got three done and will be back tomorrow to play some more and see what everyone has made.

[Psiote]

Hmm I've never done this before. Hopefully can participate on Sat for at least part of the challenges. Sounds like fun.

[cnsteele]

VSN is lots of fun! I love the anticipation of the next challenge, of stretching myself creatively, of the one hour limit...and then you have a nice stack of cards afterwards to mail out! Hope to see you here today....oh, and welcome to SCS (I see this is your first post)!

[annsforte3]

Morning everyone!! Starts at 1 PM EST time today!!!!!!!!! Get ready!!

[smadson]

Good morning! Lots of creativity in the VSN galleries! Having fun seeing what everyone did while I was sleeping!

I was just going to ask this question! Thanks for posting! Now I have some time to work on last night's challenges. I had some other obligations last night

[MiamiKel4]

Subbing! This is just what I was looking for to play along! Getting inky, starting in 3, 2, 1 ............

[annsforte3]

Go Kelly!!!!!!!!!!!!

[debdeb]

I will be peeking in periodically throughout the afternoon, but call time for our concert is 5:30, so I will miss a lot of the evening festivities. Usually Saturday nights are quiet around here, so I'm sad that this is one that ended up double-booked! But I'll be back afterward and will probably be wound up, so there!

[tessaduck]

Ohmygollygosh, the gallery's amazing! There's already masses of fabulous cards, and we're only five challenges in... So. Heads up: Stacy (JBgreendawn) will be starting the favorites thread tonight, and we can all post our lists of vsn faves. So looking forward to it!

'concert'? Do you sing or play in something? Or are you attending.

[ScrappinCEO]

I think I've commented on all the cards so far in A B C. I'm off to straighten up the mess on the work table then do Sharon's challenge. So looking forward to a full day of PLAY!

[smadson]

I am so glad you get to play, Kelly! I look forward to seeing your card for my challenge!

[Kemernow]

Hello, hello!! I'm up, had my shower, makeup on and dressed, house vacuumed, bed made, and card area ALL STRAIGHTENED UP from the disaster I made of it last night! Card bases are made and standing at attention, and I'm eating my lunch. I'm ready!

[annsforte3]

Yes, so glad you have been able to play this weekend, Kelly!!

[annsforte3]

I'm up first today Kandie!!!!!!!!

It's a good one, hope you are ready!!!!!!!

[ravengirl]

Is it just me or are there gremlins affecting gallery uploads? I just made a card for Misti's challenge and couldn't get it to load

I attached my card in the thread. It's kind of huge, so I may try to play with it a little bit and not make it so obnoxiously huge.

[annsforte3]

You are limited to size for an upload. Try reducing the size and try again.

I just uploaded two cards with no trouble. Small 480 x 640

Sheez! Time zone differences! I just finished breakfast.

It was giving me a message like that. It was also giving me an error message about the format that the file had to be (mine was a .jpg).


I just kept trying and it finally loaded.

Now there's duplicates, and odd numbers for number of views. Are there comments on both? You might choose to delete one.

[tessaduck]

The duplicates are of another card...

[LuvLee]

Sizes for photos are automatically changed if needed so no worries about that. During VSN we do have lots of activity so we could definitely have some gallery gremlins! lol
