Thanks For Playing!!!!

[stagccva]

The 11:00 challenge was the very last challenge for this VSN. On behalf of Patty and all of the Autumn Fairies, I just want to say thanks so much for coming to play with us!! All of the submissions I have seen have been absolutely wonderful - it is so cool to see such a talented group of people come together and share their creativity like this!

You have until 3:00 pm EST tomorrow (Sunday the 9th) to upload your submissions for challenges. Sometime later in the week - think Wednesday or Thursday - the *Leaf Pile* will be posted - our honor gallery of cards selected by the Fairies. Check back in this forum for the announcement about when exactly that will happen!

Here is a link to the Master Challenge Thread, in case you missed some challenges.

And thanks again for helping to make VSN such a success! It wouldn't work without you!

{{{HUGS}}} ,
Taylor, Patty, and all of the Autumn Fairies

Thank you everyone who participated in VSN, I hope you all had as much fun as we did ........ love all the creations I have seen so far ........ you all really rocked!!!!!!!!!

[Cryth]

Thank you to everyone who organized this and hosted the challenges. It was such a fun event and I can't wait for the next one! Hopefully next time I'll be better prepared and can do more of the challenges!

[Englishrose]

Thanks to all of you who gave up your weekend - and preparation time - to make this such a great VSN. I couldn't do many of the challenges but had fun doing what I did.

[artystamper]

I LOVE VSN! this is the 2nd one I've done and I appreciate all the time and effort you Autumn Fairies put into making it a terrific experience for us stampers!

I was able to do every challenge - and I learned so many new techniques and got my creativity borders 'stretched' !

Thank you all!!!

[pinkflybaby]

This was my very very first VSN- and while I was only able to keep up with the whole challenges the first two hours.... ( I live in hawaii - so we started at NOON... kids came home, dinner had to be made, hubby back from a business trip...etc.. and then soccer and hockey games today... you know mom duty!)

Anyway- I wasn't able to play long- but I got some GREAT ideas for future projects and I can't wait until the NEXT ONE! I will be prepared. Arrange babysitters... order out pizza... warn my husband well in advance! that this VSN is TOP priority

It really was alot of fun to work on challenges and see other people's creations!
YOu ladies ROCK!

Thank you to all of you who put so much time and effort into organizing and hosting! This was my very first VSN, and I guarantee you I will be back for the next one! (Although I will have to work with DH so he actually understands what "I'm doing nothing but stamping for a day and a half and you need to leave me alone" actually means!!)

I've done all the challenges except the last one and the Sat. bonus one. I've been playing catch up since the beginning and desperately need some sleep, so they will wait until tomorrow morning, though!

I also wanted to say that the bonus challenges were an awesome idea... I didn't realize there were any RAK forums until I saw the challenge Fri. night. Now that I know it's there, I will be sure to visit often.

Thanks for helping me out of my comfort zone and challenging my creativity!! It's been a blast!!

Thanks to each and every one of you - such fun challenges - another great weekend of playing with fellow stampers! Beautiful cards with beautiful fall colors. Pat yourselves on the back - as we like to say "ya done good"!

[sarahzoe]

Thanks to all the Autumn Fairies for an aswesome VSN. It was my first experience and I truly enjoyed it. My cards aren't the greatest, but I tried new techniques and learned so much for future use. I have a couple more sitting here to upload this morning and then if I can find a candle hiding somewhere in this house...I will be able to say I tried them all. Plan to spend a fair amount of time today going through all the challenge galleries and commenting. Thanks again, ladies. SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FUN.

[peanutbee]

I wanted to thank the hosts and everyone who organized the VSN. This was my first one and it was TONS of fun! I didn't get to do every challenge because in between I had *mom* stuff to do....like pick up clothes at a consignment sale, take my teen out for parallel parking practice, cooking dinner, etc....but I did as many as I could and thought the challenges were great! They gave me lots of ideas, and all the cards that I saw loaded were gorgeous. I could spend hours going through them all.

I can't wait for the next one. Great job, everyone!

[Cammie]

Thank YOU Patty and Taylor and all the Autumn Fairies ---VSN was so much fun and the challeges were awesome! Thanks for all the time and effort that went into this--you guys all ROCK!

[alcesalces]

This has been an incredible experience! The fairies were a great team and really helped each other. I was amazed at all of the time and energy that is spent to make this run so smoothly

If you enjoyed playing in VSN think about applying to be a hostess for the next round! You'll make wonderful new friends and appreciate even more what ges on behind the scenes for VSN!

[simonesmom]

Thanks to all of the wonderful ladies who helped put this VSN together. This was a wonderful day, my first VSN, but definately not my last! It gave me the opportunity to try some things I would not have made time to try otherwise, and I saw some amazing art work done by fellow stampers! Can't wait till the next one!

[Str8Fan]

Ladies,

Thank you all very much for such a wonderful VSN. I'm so glad that I was able to participate because these were such great challenges. I was able to make more cards than any other VSN that I've participated in in the past.

Thanks again for all your hard work!!!

[austamper]

Thank you Autumn Fairies! I played my first VSN and had a BLAST!!! My sister even played with me some. She had fun. Every hour she'd say "whats the next challenge??" She made 2 candles. *LOL* LOTS of fun!! I will upload hers but not as an entry since she doesn't have an account but I will make sure to put hers in my gallery.

Thank you all SO Much!!

[lizb]

Thanks so much from me too. I spent most of yesterday playing catch up but all in all still managed to complete 11 challenges. I have been out of stamping for a while (organizing DD's Bat Mitzvah) so I really needed this to get me back into it. I love that VSN gets you to try things that you would never have thought of or tried on your own. Thanks to all the coordinators, hostesses and VSN team for another really, really great VSN. I am a VSN veteran and I have loved every one (I think I only missed 1 or 2). This is such an awesome way to feel part of a community. Thanks so much once again - I know it is a lot of work (but very worth it for me).

[Taylor-made]

Thanks so much to everyone involved in VSN. This was my first time participating and even though I took it easy and did just 3 of the challenges, I had a wonderful time looking at everyone's creations and being inspired to try new things in the future. I'm sure that a great deal of work is involved for the organizers so thanks again for all you do....it is very much appreciated.
God bless,
Marie

[n5stamper]

Thank you to everyone involved in not just maintaining this site and keeping it running but the Autum Faries and all of your hard work and effort in preparation and presentation. This was my very 1st VSN and unfortunantly DH was off and had me involved in other matters so I had to combine some challenges when I did get to play. Enjoyed the one's I finished and still plan to do most of the others for keepsakes. Hope the next one I can do more of the hourly challenges when they are posted. Catch up tends to increase my anxiety level.
Thanks again to all. It was a howling, autum good time.

[beena]

Just wanted to say thank you to everyone involved and everyone that particpated in the challenges. It was a great time..

[kthaman]

A big thank you to the SCS staff who make this site possible, the VSN coordinators who work hard to bring us such fun, the other Hostesses for a great time and friendships, and to all those who played - cuz without...we'd just look silly ;)

Thank you!!

[kelaine]

Okay, all of my submissions are in my gallery, but I haven't posted links in their proper chat forums yet. I HAD SO MUCH FUN!!! But it was stressful at the same time! I'm not sure if I can handle another VSN in the future, and I can't even imagine VSBN! I'll have to look into that! Thank you to all the wonderful hostesses and autumn faries. Your challenges certainly did their job and challenged me! I look forward to seeing you all around the galleries. Thanks again.

Don't worry if you don't post a link to the chat thread - that isn't a requirement...you just need to make sure you have the appropriate keywords on each image.

Remember, you don't need to play every challenge! I like the stress from VSN...I'm always amazed at what I can come up with when I have a deadline!

VSBN gives 2 hours per challenge (if I remember correctly) and there aren't as many challenges...that is another fun SCS event - definitely check it out!

[eliotstamps]

I'm so glad everyone had such a good time - especially you first-timers. It's easy to develop a VSN addiction, as many of us have found. It's also a great way to get involved in SCS! So thanks again!

[kpolumbo]

This was so much fun!!!!!

When is the next one. Oh my

[jaymerz]

Thanks everyone that played, this was my first time hostessing and I had a blast. I hope you all enjoyed it as much as I did.

[Kathyc]

Thanks for all the fun challenges ladies! In between making 30 graduation invitaion, I got 6 challenges done, 7 if you count that one is being used as a RAK! I think I made a mistake waiting to upload til this afternoon though...I had a little trouble with the system...my bad! Thanks to all for your hard work!

[diane617]

I think this is my 3rd VSN, but the first when I wasn't working (I traded to be off). I had a great time and as always, learned a new technique or two- Got stuck on the smashing-just loved the variety of looks and first I just played with the inks and then decided what to do with each color combo.

Thanks to the Mods, Coordinators, and Fairies. Wonderful job and great challenges.

[judylb]

Thanks to the Autumn Fairies and coordinators for another fun-filled VSN--you did a terrific job and the players are grateful for all your time and effort!

[Montana]

Thanks to all who worked to make this so much fun! This was my 1st time doing VSN and I had a blast. I have other ideas in my head of challenges that I didn't get to do, so I am giving myself a challenge to create more of them today.

[msdaiquiri]

Great VSN ladies!!! To all who participated, I just want to say great job on such fantabulous cards! (too many to comment on!) =)

[jacqueline]

Thanks everyone for another fun VSN and a job well done. Everything went very smoothly and the challenges were fun too. Hip Hip Hooray!

[kimreid_stamper]

What an awesome VSN ladies!! Congrats on a job well done!! The challenges were fabulous and although I didn't get a chance to do as many as I would have liked.....they were all great!! I especially appreciated that they were able to be done by anyone and everyone!! *applause, applause* Can't wait 'til next time!!!

[abbyzmommy]

Thank you so much to all the Autumn Fairies and Harvest Hobo for this wonderful experience. This was my first VSN and will be waiting (not so patiently) to see when the next will be scheduled.

[tracymum]

Yay, Yay, Yay.....the autumn fairies (and harvest hobo!) are the best. This was my first VSN and I had a ball. So much fun, so much learning, so many things made. Talk about feeling enabled!!!! Thank you to you all for such an awesome job with the challenges. If it weren't for you all we wouldn't have had the inspiration.:mrgreen: I can't wait for the next one!!!

[rhondag]

Thanks so much Autumn Fairies and Hobo! We appreciate your hard work! I had a blast with your awesome challenges! Just wish I'd had more time to play them all! Can't wait til the next one!
