Too harsh?

The following is a comment posted by frequent visitor Paula Kay:

"Moderator.....I am still pretty new to this list so I would like to ask some questions.

Am I being to critical? I thing a lot of times the difference between a good card and a great card is layering. It makes such a dramatic difference. I do not wish to hurt anyone or step on toes. I have noticed that most answers do not really take it as far as I do. Am I wrong in doing so.

I want to be a good stamper and truly want honesty on my card critique but maybe I am being to harsh.....

Please.....give some guidelines to all on the list.

Maybe do a questionnaire type post to see what is really wanted or needed? Thanks so very much for your time."

Update!

So far so good- several artists have contacted me to accept the challenge to improve their art and critiquing skills! Those who have sent me (Heather) an e-mail have been sent an invitation to join the blog so they can post their art to the blog. And as someone asked- you will only be able to edit your own posts.

Feel free to link to this blog in your blog.

If anyone has a desire to create a blog banner, I would love to add it to the list of "ways to beautify the blog!"

Does anyone have any ideas for tags? Maybe keep it simple like: card or scrapbook, artist name? Let me know what you think.
