That today- the 20th is now designated toMFT Stamps day? NO? Well look —–>here. You will find all the details.
In honor of that I am posting the above card.
It used one of my favorite sets- Winter Blast! The penguins are WAY cute! And I love the little sentiments. Not only do I LOVE penguins, but I love ice skating images-no idea WHY! I just do.
The patterned paper is a holiday paper by Paper Salon (last years) and am IN LOVE with it. I liked the different colors this one had to offer.
I hope you do too.
What I would like to know is what you are all thinking about the NEW! Member Companies?
What do you like?
What do you dislike?
AND what you want to see from them in the future?
I like- The fact that you can chat with the owners of the companies-it gives it a more personal feel to their “business” that they are willing to converse and LISTEN to their customers!
I like that fact that SU! is not the ONLY focus since these companies have financially supported SCS for some time, they deserve some recognition!! GO SCS!!
I also like that these companies are getting to be successful, yet maintain a great customer “relationship”. I can honestly tell you the companies I represent are run by some of the most amazing people ever! So sweet and caring-and they ALL love to hear YOUR opinions-even the not so good ones-cause they want to better their business. They are all around amazing! Im very blessed to be a part of their teams.
What I dislike-I dont like that you still have to use KEYWORDS to find samples from companies other than SU! I really hope these companies get their own galleries soon. That would be cool. Not neccessarily a category for every set-just a general gallery for each.
I think that also answers what Id like to see in the future.
Id also like to see more participation in the threads! I am personally guilty of not being “in them” enough, cause Im too busty stamping ! THAT is how I get SO much done. If I were on the computer ALL day I would have not a thing done. Plus I cant justify purchases if I don’t USE my stuff. I give myself props, because I am really good about using my products!!
Now its your turn-be HONEST!!! I wanna know!

I love your little penguin and the glittery ice skating pond! So cute! Oh, my resin is up on the MFT forum…..just so you know!
Anyway I am also happy with the new forums for the same reasons you are;
You get to talk to the people who make the products and also those who just love them.
You can ask more direct questions and give direct compliments which is nice and improves customer serivce.
What I dont like?
I do wish that SCS would add other galleries because I feel like sometimes if you dont make a card for a challenge and it’s not SU then it doesnt get seen that much. And that’s a freakin’ shame! Hopefully SCS will move into this direction since they have the forms now.
I was also a little surprised to see who wasnt there……. like amuse or even SU. I know SCS has a ton of SU representation with demos (guilty, although I never get preachy about it) and the galleries being all SU. I guess I was just surprised that they didnt want to come play. Amuse shocked me too, theyre stamps have a cult following and I think it would have been good for them to do it.
It made me wonder who they asked that didnt want to join, maybe cause I’m nosey though.
Love your card …. I have resisted this set in the past but have seen some great stuff made with it recently so am thinking of adding it to my order when I order the new releases! I agree love the new member companies forums …. definitely would be cool having separate galleries at least for these companies if not for some others too.
Love your penguin card ( I have a soft spot for penguins ♥…)!
I think what you said and also Elizebeth, really sums up what I think about the new companies forum.
I do have a problem with the gallery being mostly Stampin’Up, very often I don’t have a clue in which category to put my card! 🙁 It is confusing I think, and I would welcome other galleries for other companies!
Also I think there are, generally speaking, too many blogs/forums & not enough time in my life! LOL…so I am wondering…for example I visit Gina K.’s blog regularly, doesn’t visiting her company’s forum seem like doing the same thing twice? You know what I mean? :-S
So I’ll have to see how this goes, I haven’t visited those new forums yet and I am curious! 🙂
Lauren! Your card is too dang cute! LOL! Love that penguin!
I made two cards for the MFT stamp day and uploaded them to the SCS gallery this morning! I just got my first MFT stamps this week and I’m soooooooooo excited! haha!
I think if there were so many galleries I’d not have time to look through them all. When I look at cards I look to see what people have done and learn from them. I may not(and probably don’t) have those other stamps they use but I try to envision what I COULD do with a stamp I do own. Am I making sense! haha!
OK I still have to do your sketch….maybe tomorrow morning! Ya!
Hope you are having a FAB weekend!
I love the card – the penguin is cute but the saying I am in love with! I love word/quote stamps though.
I just got back to SCS after being gone for a few weeks – I like that there are more companies represented because I just don’t know all of them! Otherwise I don’t have much experience with them.
First, your penguin card is way stinkin’ cute….I overlooked this set, but thanks to you..now I’ll have to get it:)
I must say that I am now just branching out and looking at other stamping companies other than SU! I have discovered (thanks to SCS) that there is a whole world of stamps out there, and I’m not going to limit myself to one company.
I am new to the MFT stamp sets, but I just posted on my blog that I will be showcasing some of my new creations with these awesome sets. And, I have to give big props to the company for communicating with buyers…I was very impressed.
Thanks for all your super cute creations that you post.
Wish I was closer to you so you and your hubby could have your quiet evening together:) You deserve it.
I am loving the new member companies forum. I’ve been all of them except the bellas and scor pal. Love my bellas, just not an avid bella person, and have never even thought about using the scor pal. I love just being able to talk to the owners/designers, get some “how do you do that” question answered, their company challenges, and I could go on and on. As for what I’d like to see, a gallery of their own would be nice. Da Man is probably working on that already.
I love your adorable penguin card!! Soooo cute!
I think you pretty much nailed it on my likes and dislikes of the Member Companies! It is so great to have these areas of SCS to hang out. Like you….I would love organized galleries for uploading and viewing these projects, other than in the main gallery. It seems the non-SU ones get lost.
Love the colors, the layout–love it all!
What a totally cute card. I love these penguins too and it’s great to see what you’re doing with them. I LOVE the new Member Co’s at SCS. It’s good for the companies, because already I REALLY want to buy their stuff (if I’m not already). I love seeing each company have special challenges or some such. A gallery for each member company would make me oh so happy 🙂
