I'd like to take a minute and give a little love back to those Welcoming Committee Members and Designers who take the time to leave love on our layouts. It means a lot to me, and I know it does to others as well, to see that a designer whose collection we've bought notices that we've used their wonderful designs to do a layout. It always makes me feel good when I see that a designer likes how we've used her collection. The same goes for WC members, who I suspect wear many different hats on the mb and with all they must have to do, they still take the time to leave love on our layouts.

Just wanted to say thank you. It really does mean a lot!

[Nica]

Thanks, Sara! And I totally agree about having the designers leave love. That's like the teacher patting you on the head and saying, "Good job! Keep going."

[Becster]

That's so true! I always feel a little like Sally Field at the Oscars: "She likes me! She really likes me!"

[Figment]

Aww, that's so sweet! Thanks for all you do too!!!

[Molczan]

Thank you Sara! It's so much fun to see how people use the designs too! I'm always so inspired by everyone here at Scrapgirls and all the layouts I see in the gallery!

[Cheri T]

Awww - Sara, how absolutely sweet of you to come post this! And a big praise back to all the members - without you all creating such a friendly, informative, fun place to be, this purple place couldn't exist. Love you all!

[teecee]

Thank you Sara and ditto to all of the above

Thanks for posting this, Sara. I feel the same way--it's a huge boost when a designer or layout artist or any other team member recognizes our layout with love.

[AngRoCamp]

Well I think I can probably speak for the other designers when I say you should know that any time we designers see someone use our designs we have that same "they like me! they really like me!" reaction It's kind of like the ultimate vote of confidence to have someone support my work by spending a little of their hard-earned money on my products. Then it absolutely makes my day to see my products used in unique, creative and BEAUTIFUL ways! So if a little love gives you a boost, rest assured that the fact that you're using our products gives US a boost as well So thank YOU!!

Thanks Sara! I wish I had more time to leave love on ALL the layouts! And I agree it is SUPER cool when the designer leaves a comment too!

[GinnyW]

Thanks Sara and I so agree with what Ang said, (and said so well!) My greatest satisfaction comes from seeing our members create something beautiful with one of our kits.
I'm sure I've missed some of the layouts along the way, but I do try and find each of you so hugs to all of our wonderful members!

[angleigh]

Yeap, I agree with Ang. It's always great to see our work being used. And it means alot to see you've chosen something we've designed to scrap your family memories with.

I know I don't always get to the gallery to comment on all the layouts, but I do see alot of them. My goal for this week is to leave more love!

[MariJ]

Great goal and idea Angie - me too! Sara, what a lovely note for everyone at ScrapGirls because I think we ALL appreciate comments on our layouts, yet sometimes forget to leave them. So thanks for the reminder to remember and also how much it's appreciated. And, me too - it's super-special when a designer notices something of mine.
Thanks for posting your wonderful thoughts and I think I'll head over to the gallery right now......

[ScrapGram]

Very well said Sara and thank you for saying it for all of us. I have felt so honored when a designer or other SG Team member has commented on one of my layout's! It is definitely like getting a pat on the head from the teacher! A real ego booster for those of us who lurked forever before we got up enough nerve to post a layout!!

[Syndee]

Ditto what Ang and Angie said! LOVE it when I see my designs in a layout in the gallery, it just makes my day! Thank you so much for the kind words Sara, and it's my goal to spend more time leaving love in the gallery!

[Figment]

I agree Ang, Angie, Syndee, and Ginny! Couldn't have said it better! Thanks for saying it so well. I get so excited when I see my designs being used. Makes my day too!

[healthyscraps]

Sara, you are a treasure. The others have said it so well before me. It is a gift you give us when we see our products transformed into amazing layouts and craft items in the gallery.

[kimmybutton]

Awwwww. What a sweet thing to write.

[Jo Corne]

I am with everyone here, we LOVE that you use our products, I always get such a kick out of seeing someone use what I have created. I still can't believe that someone actually has liked what I have designed enough to buy it and then to actually use it... priceless.

thank you Sara for posting this lovely sentiment, it really is very very very much appreciated

[KimberlyM]

You are very sweet and kind Sara!
