SEP12VSNA ~ Friday, Sept 21st ~ 5:00pm EST ~ Line 'Em Up!
Title: Line 'Em Up!
Hostess: meerkat3 (Leslie)
Keyword:
SEP12VSNA
Day/Date: Friday, Sept 21st
Time: 5:00pm EST
EEEP! I'm first! (no pressure)
Welcome to the September 2012
Back To School Virtual Stamp Night! Let's get this show on the road!
When I was a kid, I could not
wait for the first day of school. Back then we didn't have the frenzy of Back-To-School shopping lists. Nope. All we needed was a 3-ring binder; a pencil holder that fit in the front of the 3-ring binder that held pencils (#2, sharpened), a pencil sharpener, a small ruler, maybe scissors; and best of all: notebook paper. White, with blue horizontal lines, and a red vertical line separating the three punched holes from the area in which you wrote. Ah, the good old days.
Did you know there were (maybe still are) different kinds of lined notebook paper? Yep. Some were narrower than others (smaller spaces between the lines) and some were *gasp* blank! Those were for geometry and physics. Just a bit of trivia for you.
My challenge is for you to
incorporate notebook paper into your card. It can be real notebook paper (steal some from your kid's notebook), or a stamped image of notebook paper, or heck - computer-generate it! I'd just like to see something I recognize as notebook paper.
Have fun with it!
VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE HERE

I am trying to stay under the 45 minute mark. It worked for the first challenge!
It takes me completely out of my comfort zone and into CAS area.
Here is my
One of my favorite things card .
Thanks for a great challenge and all the hard work that goes into being a hostess.
Hugs and smiles

Our dinner out ended up being snoop shopping at Michael's, Archiver's, and Joanne's so this may be the only card I complete tonight! Worst case scenario is I'll be playing catch up tomorrow morning before the challenges start up again and maybe into Sunday.

Just found out it was a VSN weekend. What fun! Haven't had a chance to play in several months.
Only got to the first challenge this evening, but hope to do a few more the rest of this weekend. Thanks for a great challenge.
