Heritage Topic for the Week 3rd - 10th September is "Transportation"

[Meryl]

First of all a BIG thank you for the wonderful gallery full of "Water" pages, and the great turn out and enthusiastic chat at Heritage tonight! Some great suggestions and i will look through them again.

A few immediate thoughts:
~ Voting - it is always impossible to please everyone all the time. We have been doing the voting at Heritage the same way for about 4 years, and I feel its sort of part of Heritage. We had a small change at one stage (BIG thanks to cathiemarie for trying it out) and I was inundated with complaints about that too ...........
My feeling is that its life - we CAN'T all win all the time,. and yes, some do win more often, BUT to win, they submit pages EVERY week, attend the chat EVERY week??? see a pattern here? and of course, if we anly have 3 -4 entries, few at the chat it gets more repetitive.
So my feeling is that unless there is a really good reason to change, for now we will stay with voting.

I am going to:
~ see if I can have the heritage gallery moved.
~ see if I can have a post on the DSP blog
~ I will put links in the calender.
~ Try to post in other forums an "invitation" to join us.

Our winner this week was jennilynn10 with her page Hattie and Polly at the Beach (http://www.digitalscrapbookplace.com/gallery/showphoto.php?photo=277864) - I love the old photos in the "modern" elements (several of you did that this week, I loved seeing them!) It was a hotly contested vote this week, some fabulous pages! Congrats jennilynne, your voucher for a page kit is on its way to you!

:clap: :yahoo: :clap: :yahoo: :clap:

I'm so happy to read this! And I'm so sorry to have missed the chat. I had a prior commitment of a political nature to attend to, but I am glad to hear the chat was a rousing success. I think I commented on as many heritage LO's today as DET LOs. Congrats everyone. Looking forward to seeing you all in the gallery and the chat room. :)

Glad the decision was to keep voting! I've only won once but it was a thrill to get votes on the work I had done. Personally, I love this kind of "competition" -- inspires us to learn from the more gifted heritage scrappers.

glad I could make it to the chat this week...
now I just have to find a pic of my mum's old red convertible

I really enjoyed the chat last night with so many people attending. Good conversation and an amazing gallery filled with so many lovely and interesting pages. I have left comment son all of them. They are all so wonderful to look at and fascinating to read. Can't wait for next week.

[Meryl]

I so enjoyed the chat too :) - I've been a very buzy little bee since then, posting info here, there and everywhere! I do so hope you all like ahat you see.

I have changed the calendar (hate doing that, I seem to mess up so easilty with these time zones!) Please someone check that it looks fine to you?

[Cathiemarie]

I am so glad that you are keeping Heritage as is Meryl. I so miss not being at chat, and when I don't come to chat I forget to post a LO in the gallery so I am very pleased too that you are going to expand Our Heritage' profile on the site. I need to be nudged every now and then to wake me up. Now let me go look for trains, n boats n planes da da de da isn't that a song?

[Meryl]

In the chat (this morning / last night) I mentioned new products i have. They are now in the store, and I hope you will love using them! I thought of your heritage ladies very especially in making them!

Meryl's Cracked and Creased Collection (http://store.digitalscrapbookplace.com/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&keyword=cracked+creased&search_in_description=1&categories_id=&inc_subcat=1&manufacturers_id=15&pfrom=&pto=&dfrom=&dto=&x=36&y=6)

They give you the cracked look, and because of the way they are made, you can trim away the paper from the edges giving it a creased shape too! I have included some instructions although its really very simple.

[Carma]

Oh Meryl I am getting excited again, need to go and look for some photos and get to making some new Heritage LOs. Thanks for inspiring me again to all the ladies in Heritage Group. You all do such beautiful work. I will be posting this week in the gallery and the forum

[sanra]

I enjoyed the chat last night and to see the wonderful LO's. What a positive chat with many ideas. Thanks for the nudge to join and now I need to find a certain photo. :)

[JustScraps]

:wave:Hello Beautiful People... I had all intentions of being at chat and posting my lo on time.. Unfortunately I thought on time was Thursday for some reason. lol SO... I posted anyway but I was sorry to have missed the chat.:doh: I will try to be a good girl and be on time for next week!

:yes:Extra links are always a good thing because I seem to have a hard time finding anything in the fourms these days, its grown so much since DSP was first born :) It was sooo much easier to find things back then LOL ... I havent had a chance yet to comment on all the lo's posted but I did peek and BOY OH BOY ARE THEY LOVELY!:tup::clap::yahoo:

See you all in a few days! KEEP UP THAT WONDERFUL WORK LADIES!!:yippee::party:

I had a lot of fun putting together my "transporation" layout. It brought back some very special memories for me. I also used 2 of Meryl's fantastic new overlays.

Thanks for the challenge. It does really help inspire the pages that need doing. I'll try to make the chat, but I type so slow that I usually just end up lurking.(kinda of creepy, don't ya think:shocked:)
