MAY09VSN D ~ May 15th 2009 ~ 10:00 pm EST ~ Late Night Snack w/Elvis
Welcome, Ladies - time for some fun ...
Title: Late Night Snack with Elvis
Hostess: Collette (heavensent)
Keyword: MAY09VSND
Date: Friday May 15th 2009
Time: 10:00 PM EDT (EST)
When I hear “Viva Las VSN (Vegas)” … I think back to my childhood. When I was in grade school, my mother worked at the International Hotel in Vegas … It changed to the Hilton, and not sure if its still there or has changed hands yet again. At the time, the International was where Elvis did all his concerts. Anyway … when my mother worked as a waitress there, she’d come home every once in a while and tell us how she saw Elvis eating with a whole bunch of his ‘buddies’ and occasionally even waited on his entourage.
So, thinking of Elvis … I tried to think slightly outside the box and kept coming back to his favorite snack:
“Fried Peanut Butter and Banana sandwiches
So … I wanted to go for a color challenge … Here’s the “rules” – use them loosely if you don’t have the specific supplies, but give it a whirl … 1. Colors: a. Banana (or Saffron) b. Creamy Caramel (peanut butter) c. Close to Cocoa (for the ‘fried’ part) 2. You must use something MUSICAL : a. Can be background paper b. Can be musical instrument or note as the focal point c. Can be an image of singing Have FUN with it!
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS 1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00PM EST MONDAY MAY 18TH
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image.
4. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
5. It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in the chat thread just in case the gallery is being testy.
<O:p</O:p
View the Gallery for this Challenge at Elvis' Favorite Snack
Here are 3 samples I've come up with ...
"Kentucky Rain"
"Love Me Tender"
"BirdSong"
Good Luck and Have FUN!!!

Well, I can honestly say I've never had a fried peanut butter and banana sandwich, delightful as it sounds - LOL!!!!! But, I have embraced the colour combo and the challenge - and came up with this:
A Meal for Elvis

Hard one - I don't really have musical stamps. I'll see what I can come up with.

No, I often get confused with what I actually have, what I saw in a magazine that I liked and what I saw at Archiver's but didn't buy.
