Default DEC11VSNJ ~ Saturday, December 10 ~ 5:00PM ~ Your Doorway to Narnia

Title: Find Inspiration in Your Doorway to Narnia
Hostess: tygerpaws11 (AKA Michelle)
Keyword: DEC11VSNJ
Day/Date: Saturday, December 10
Time: 5:00PM EST

When I first saw the VSN theme - Winter Wonderland - I immediately thought of the Snow Queen from the Chronicles of Narnia. {LOVE the hair - don't you??}
My challenge to you is to step into your wardrobe in your spare room, and find inspiration in there (and maybe a donation too )

VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE HERE.

UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY EST ON Monday December 12
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge {not including time to pick your inspiration/donation items}.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, DEC11VSNJ, 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.

My closet is crammed with Christmas presents right now, so I think you'll see that in my sample.

Cute sample Michelle!

What a delightful challenge! I made my sister a birthday card, and used my favorite clothing colors.

I don't HAVE a spare room! My craft room is my "spare room". Do we have options?

Use whatcha got We will NOT be performing house checks to verify. Perhaps, the closet in your craft room will pose some interesting possibilities... Can't WAIT to see what you make!

Wahoo! Challenges complete! My inspiration came from shimmer cardstock falling off the shelf when I opened the craft room closet door! I didn't use that shimmer paper but some from my DP stash. It's SU and it's embossed. The flower medallion was premade and sitting on my craft table waiting for a project well I guess today's the day.

Wow, love that photo! Well, my spare closet just got changed. Took all the Christmas decorations out and put back all the Autumn things. So it is full of pumkins, cornacopia, and a few comforters. I will go look again, but I think this is going to be a fall card.

Great challenge idea! Love your package card.

This was a real challenge for me - My Dad recently came to live with us so my spare room is now his room and the wardrobe full of his clothes and things! Mind you I took his words as inspiration - "your cards aren't christmassy enough - use some Christmas colours - red and green". Hope this is okay - the icicles are my nod to Narnia!

Well, I am not going to get to make this now. DH says he is hungry. Last night he fixed supper so I could play. So, I will catch this later.

Here's mine: Shoes

This was tough, since I have no "spare" room. It was funny, too, since I chose shoes as my subject, and I am not even into shoes.
