Here are a few that got less than I had hoped but I don't really get hurt by it any more.I think it is just who is on when you post and if it is linked to a challenge to get exposure. My gallery is more for me to keep track of my cards and my progress. (At least I hope I am getting better) It does feel good to hear nice things about your work though and at times it really comes at a time when I need to hear it. I have been trying to comment at least ten times a day lately. Thanks for looking and commenting.
This one took me FOREVER to do and I was quite pleased with the results...apparently only one other person liked it, and I didn't even get that comment until almost a month after I had posted the card. :p

OMG! I'm exausted! I just commeted on every single card! I'm so glad you all posted! I got to see some great cards that I might not have seen otherwise! Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful creations!
Here is one I did for a friend when she got her new puppy. I like it, but it only received 2 comments. It may be because of the colors. Normally, I would not have picked those colors, but I was trying to match the colors in her room.
Actually, my whole gallery is unloved. I have over 20 cards in my gallery and I must be the most untalented stamper here. Most of them only have 2 comments. There is one that has over 20 - must have done something right with that one. Hopefully one of these days I'll amaze myself.
Hmm, not sure why you would think that. It seems pretty typical to just have just a couple of comments on most cards in most people's galleries. Your's looks pretty typical, a lot like the response in mine, as a matter of fact.
I think a lot of the reason certain people's galleries gets more clicks has to do with photography. If your card is photographed well, it just has a certain polish to it, and people are more apt to click on it, and more apt to post a comment.
As for me, a sincere compliment can last me a month, I love it as much as anyone else. I have some cards in my gallery that I thought were terrific, but got little notice. On the other hand, some I posted as an afterthought of sorts got loads. Who can figure?

Actually it didn't take long. Once I decided how I wanted it, I cut everything out that was needed. All the tape and papers, and accessories too. Then I went to bed and woke up the next morning and just pieced it together. It took 90 minutes. I take longer a scrapbook pages sometimes.:rolleyes:

This has been a great thread...I think a lot of us got some love and validation the last few days...I have some cards with OODLES of comments (the one that I linked on this thread has 27 comments!)
I almost hope this thread never dies...since it started I've been leaving way more comments than I used to...I bet I've left 20-25 a day. I know I won't be able to do that every day but I'm gonna try...and I have a new rule that if someone comments in my gallery, I will visit their gallery and leave at least one comment!
Just found this thread and thought I would post my most underappreciated card. It was one I made for my son to give to his dad for father's day. It only got 1 comment and that was 2 months after it was posted!! I really thought it was cute..... oh well - at least it's been viewed a bit - ;)
This is such a great thread. I too have an unloved card with no comments. I really liked this card though and so did the receiver. I used the Cold Play set.
I have a couple as well. I have some challenge cards that I think are not that great and have tons of comments and some cards that I think are great and have almost no comments. Can't figure it out. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers

Ok, now that I was encouraged to go on a posting frenzy, I'll share mine. I've only got a total of 15 things in my gallery, and there's a few with no comments, and I think the most is 8 comments on one. I guess it's never really bothered me, only because I know most of my browsing is when I'm in search of cards from a certain set, and figure lots of people may do that too, and then we end up missing the 'daily' uploads, and many of the great cards from other sets. I keep telling myself I'm going to get better about browsing and posting comments, because I know how good it makes me feel to read a comment on mine.
Ok, now......one of the few that have no comments.........
Hasn't been uploaded for long, but I had a heck of a time coming up with a card that I liked for this set, and so I was so excited when I came up with this. The photo completely misses all the glitter in the middle of the flowers, so I can see where it didn't get anyone else excited, but the gals at my workshop loved it, so I was ok with no comments on it.
OH! BTW........you ladies are all so very talented!

Sue, I am right there with ya!! I can not for the life of me figure out how come I only amaze myself!!!:mrgreen:
There's so many cards that how could you possibly get a comment on them? Just so far for today there's 18 pages of cards posted. I certainly don't have time to look at all of them. I try to browse other's galleries especially people who's names I see over and over in the forums but it's impossible to see all the cards as much as I'd like too. However, I was so excited that one of my cards had 2 comments as I only have 1 or 0 usually. So I guess it depends on your perspective too.

Yes, my thoughts exactly. I have not had a chance to even look at the daily postings since Friday, so quite a few gorgeous cards got missed. Maybe it depends upon the day that they are uploaded too. I bet alot of people look at cards on Mondays because there is no uploading on Sundays. So many thumbnails just don't do the full image justice either. I normally open thumbnails of cards for stamp sets that I have, or if a color combo catches my eye. But I would love to comment on everyone's beautiful cards - there just isn't enough time since I only have my lunch hour and an hour or so at night to browse. Thank you all for the beautiful creations!
Thank you Mishelle. I would comment on yours but only the image came up. I will have to come back later and look through your gallery. (they were all pretty! Love the stiched set)
Well, here's one I made with the $1 stamp from Michael's, but I also used some SU stamps as well. I thought it was cute, but I guess only three other people thought it was cute also. Oh well, I just assumed that it wasn't one of those cards that "stood out". I got a lot of views, but only 3 comments.
