Favorite DSP Events?

[Tina]

Over the past (almost) 2 months we've squeezed in several different events: chats, crops, quick classes, bingo, etc, etc, etc....

So, what are your favorites (be specific) :D ? We'd love to know!

[Margie]

oh, come on! you *know* everyone's going to say bingo!! it's because they enjoy the harassment by the bingo caller so much!! :D

[Tina]

yep, I've heard *bad* think about that Bingo caller!

*wink* :rolleyes:

I like the quick crops where a sketch is provided- or maybe a color scheme or certain elements. I often times find myself lacking in inspiration and these usually help me out tremendously.

I also love the chats on certain applications- such as filters, etc, scrapping styles (montage) etc.

[Emma]

I like regularly scheduled events, I forget or don't see things that move around...my fault, but a recurring event helps me!

[Chevellegirl]

Well, the first thing I did was a scrapalong with Emma...then another...then a challenge crop...so I don't have much exposure to all the different elements...but I like regular scheduled events as well...that way I'm "forced" to take time for myself (hobbies)! I really love DSP...it is THE PLACE to be!

[Amber]

I agree about the regularly scheduled events- makes it much easier to remember to make time for myself rather than trying to remember those that just pop up here and there. I always forget about them!

I like anything where I am going to learn something new, whether it is a scrapalong, class, or quick crop that makes me think outside my box.

I loved the April kit contest. First off, the kit was gorgeous. Second, it was fun to see what everyone else did with the same elements. (Third, my LO made a great Mother's Day gift<g>)

You should join in some free kit quick crops then - basically the same thing in a shorter time period!!- There is one this Saturday the 12th

I love the quick crops. I was so nervous at my first one that I couldn't even eat beforehand. I did much better at my 2nd and now, I can't wait until this Saturday. I absolutely love them!

I like the quick crops, they help get layouts done. I also enjoy looking at the variety of layouts that are created from the same kit - its amazing.

I agree with the others in having regularly scheduled events. It makes it easier to place my days.

[Dusty]

I like the sketch crops, this helps me to learn and saves my poor old brain.

[digital_traci]

Too many to mention, lol
Of course everyone loves the QCrops... with kit, without.. doesn't matter!!

Also love the regular events BOM chat, Filter chat.. starting to get into the sketch challenges and will do the color one too!!

Loove all the DSP events!! LOL

[elizabethlmccoy]

I'm sure y'all know I love the Add-On Challenge!! To much fun and you really get to think out side of the box.

Well since I am brand new to this, my favorite would have to be the Quick Kit Crops since that is the only event I have ever attended. However, I have quickly become an absolute addict! (The dishes will wash themselves, right?)

I liked Christmas in July and the QuickCrops are fun when I remember to get here.

[Tina]

more opinions?

[Pam]

OK, Tina, re-uping your own question? Wow, so much more since May! Christmas in July was great - but demanded attention. You asked! I didn't like Bingo cuz the pages changed each time you looked and it was a chore and (but I did see other's pages but didn't have time really to look at them) it was frustrating!

Crops are always fun, chats could help us to get to know one-another if we didn't have to leave to crop. Software wars are interesting - but I wish more would participate - it's a learning experience, and we share what we're learning as we go.

OK, free stuff draws attention -- but the hugs and sharing at this place is what has kept my interest! Genuine interest and detailed help - just ask.

My favorites? A great team with members who care - and take the time to answer questions - as well as members who are unafraid to also answer questions. Quality downloads - whether given as a "freebie" or sold. In a world so big, this place is user-friendly.

I absolutely love the quick crops-- not only do we get to use fabulous materials ( thanks! They are so great!) but we have a time deadline with support in the chat room if we run into a problem.

The quick crops have taken me from beginner to addicted! :)

I'm looking foward to anything you have to offer-- everything is great!!!!!!!!

I really liked the computer craft item - something different gets me inspired.

[Janet]

There are lots of things I like...but probably the best are the quick crops, whether ad inspired, art inspired, kit or whatever. They often jumpstart (or give a jumping off point) for getting more pages done with a set of photos. If I don't get to the other pages right away, I can at least spend a few minutes getting things together in a file to get to later. I also love the challenges, and the focus you guys do with photography. :)

I do like things to be posted on the calendar as I make a note of things I want to attend on my calendar/control journal (it's a flylady.net thing). I don't know if it's possible to put the spur of the moment things up there, but that's where I check to see what's happening if I happen to have some extra time.

I have to agree with Pam that the encouragement, willingness to help, quality products, quality classes etc. have kept me loyal to DSP. I don't have time to be on multiple sites and participate in everything each has to offer, so I had to make a decision. DSP. :)

Well Christmas in July was what finally got me going and creating LO's. So I love the quick crops. They supply inspiration and if there's a theme or kit involved, it limits the infinite element/kit possibilities and makes it easier to focus. I really love the pass the pixel! It really builds up anticipation! And the kits are extraordinary!

Great job, Ladies!

Speaking of which when is the next pass the pixel. I haven't seen anything from it lately and I can't see to find the posting?

[Margie]

just check the gallery. freebies, pass the pixel and you can see the progress of the current round! :)
