Josieanne, I entirely agree, I am happy too with my style of cardmaking and don't need anyone to "approve" it for me.

But I have come across people on other forums whose only contribution is to announce at regular intervals that they've uploaded a new batch of cards to their gallery, photbucket, or whatever, and then wait for all the attention. I think this is really sad, and they do miss out on so much by not making any other attempt to join in.

However, I do believe that it's useful to share our work online as a record of what we've done, and of different techniques that we've used; this can act as a source of new ideas for other people, to widen horizons, and perhaps even inspire, and if it sparks something in them that gives cause for comment, then that's really just the gilding on the lily!
