DEC11VSNMINI1~Friday, Nov 11 ~5 pm EST~warm and cozy and all bundled up
Title: Warm and Cozy and ALL Bundled Up
Hostess: Lisa Henke (lisahenke)
Keyword: DEC11VSNMINI1
Day/Date: Friday, Nov 11
Time: 5 pm EST
It's November and the cold weather is moving in. I am NOT a huge fan of cold weather, even though I've lived in the Midwest my entire life. I would be quite content if it snowed only in the month's of December and January. It's no secret, I like to be warm and cozy. No better way to do that, than to bundle up!
My challenge is��for you to make a card or project with an image of a something you'd bundle up with....scarf, hats, mittens, sweater, blanket, etc.....AND to make it warm and cozy....... incorporate felt into your project.
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON Monday November 14.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, DEC11VSNMINI1 , when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure you layout is seen.
Here are a few samples I did to get your creative juices flowing! Remember to have fun. I can't wait to see what you create!
We have warm and cozy over here! It's pouring down rain and has been all day. Hubby came home from work early, no sense standing outside in a torrential downpour. I only wish it would freeze and we could have lots of snow!
Fruit loop!! The first challenge uses the ONE product I don't have yet!! I think my mom has a bunch of felt and we're heading over there later, so I was going to ask her for some, but right now....can't play yet!
I'll just hang around and admire everyone else's work!
Great challenge, Lisa! I'm hoping to break out the mitten nesties I got this Spring!
i cut mine free hand, but saw Beate make one last year with that mitten nestie and loved it. they make great gift card holders and then can be used as an ornament for the tree.
I suddenly have CRAFT FRIGHT.
Kind of like stage fright where you stand there looking like a deer staring into oncoming headlights. LOL
I'm still going to give this a try. Is there a finish time? Today? An hour? 15 minutes? Oh how I wish I'd found the FAQ Guidelines Rules etc before finding the VSN thread 15 minutes ago. LOL

NO CRAFT FRIGHT ALLOWED!!!
You can upload until Monday night.. so you have tonight and all weekend. You need to complete the card in 45 minutes BUT that doesn't count planning time... just stamping.
Enjoy... Have fun... and have some chocolate.. that always helps! :mrgreen:

I think you could make suede count. I'm not a stickler on the "rules" so feel free to bend them a little ;)

I say use the suede! We would rather have you play than sit this one out!

LOL. Don't worry! Play for fun. I admit, there have been a few VSN cards that I do in a rush, post and then think....that card ain't going anywhere!! But, I've learned lots of techniques and it's fun to play along with others.

I think we've ALL been there at one point or another... LOL!
I was sooooooooo stressed out my first VSN... then I realized I just needed to take a deep breath and try... it was so much fun.
IIRC the first VSN challenge I ever did was to make a colorful card using only white items.... So we could color ribbon or buttons or pearls... what not... but what we started with had to be white..

That one was so much fun!
I think I just kind of followed along during my first VSN. Otherwise known as lurking. I might have only completed a couple.
Okay I am going with the suede! I think is is really warm, and I woudln't mind being bundled in suede!! Thanks everyone! YOu are all great! It is for the fun!
