Aw, thanks, that's lovely to hear from the blending pro :)

Hm, I don't think I even did that much coloring on extra 8, it was a fantastic cap to begin with! (Too bad I couldn't make it fit any of the themes I had left, lol) With the rest, I actually used Vibrance in just a few, but mostly I colored almost only with really simple hand-painting methods and some gradient maps and color balance. Those are my favorites. I'd also like to learn to use regular gradients more, maybe in the next set :)
