FEB10VSNK Saturday Feb 27, 5PM Go For the Gold
Title: Go For the Gold
Hostess: markie's mom
Key word: FEB10VSNK
Day/date: Saturday, February 27th
Time: 5:00 P.M. EST
Ever since I was in elementary school, I've been watching the Olympics with my family. This year is the first year that Markie wanted to watch with us. As a matter of fact, he was chanting, "Go For the Gold!" at the television set this past weekend! I had to laugh, as my husband was snoring on the couch, and there was my little 10 year old, chanting for a Curling team. Who knew he would like to watch a game that had brushes and stones? He's usually more interested in chess!
So, in honor of Markie's Chant, I challenge you to GO FOR THE GOLD by using GOLD on your card! You can emboss, use gold paper, etc.
VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE
HERE
VIEW MY SAMPLE
HERE KEYWORD: FEB10VSNK
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON Monday, March 1st.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, FEB10VSNK, 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 project is seen.

Here's
my card - I hope I have enough gold to qualify! I very rarely use this colour and was surprised I had almost a full sheet of gold pearlescent card. How did that manage to sneak in my box?!

Well I really mean it this time - I HAVE to go make dinner!!!!! Nobody warned me about how addicting these VSNs can be!!!! I have accomplished absolutely nothing today (except making cards and chatting with folks on SCS) so I guess I should go and make myself useful
Not to worry - I'll be back later tonight with more cards!!! At least Apollo Ohno isn't on tonight - maybe I'll be able to do something besides sit in front of the TV and bite my fingernails!!! Although it is really sad that he's not going to be skating any more :(:( Ok - I REALLY have to go!!! (while the meatballs are cooking I'm going to think about how to incorporate gold onto my card...)

Unfortunately, I've not been playing VSN (I've been sick in bed for a week and a half), but I had made this card for Faith's challenge a couple of weeks ago.

I have to believe everyone has gold somewhere in their stash of supplies -- gold eyelets or brads (don't forget the shaped ones), gold-edged ribbons, gold EP, gold beads, gold embroidery thread, gold charms (even cheap gold earrings you'd sacrifice to the cause of VSN ;)).
