Default NOV10VSNR ~ Saturday, November 13th ~ 11pm EST ~ "Twinkle, Twinkle..."

Title: Twinkle, Twinkle...
Hostess: Lura, lurasfaith
Keyword: NOV10VSNR
Day/Date: Saturday, November 13th
Time: 11:00pm EST

Twinkle, Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky.
Twinkle, Twinkle little star
How I wonder what you are.

When the weather was warmer, at 10:00 every night Hunter, my 2 year old, and I would take our blanket and mum mums (my fleece pajama pants he confiscated) and go outside on the deck and rock to sleep under the stars. No matter how rowdy he was up to this point he would always calm right down when we'd head out in the dark. We'd sing the star song, whisper "I love you" and I would always tell him he was such an angel, even if I didn't think so 10 minutes before!

So my challenge to you is to make a card honoring or remembering an angel. It could be your child or your grandpa or anyone else who has touched your life in a special way. There are so many people I can think of in my life that the challenge would be to choose one.

Also because it is my favorite, let's see some distressing on this card! Some ripped paper, inked edges, you name it!


VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE HERE
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:

1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00PM EST ON Monday November 15th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, NOV10VSNR , 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.

I did this challenge earlier today (one of the few I did in advance!)...

Honoring an Angel

I can't believe I managed to do almost all today! I did about 4 ahead of time so that's not too shabby! I'm gonna head out now though, a long day of the fever monster and I am beat! I'll see you all tomorrow for lots of commenting! Goodnight!

We were outside rocking again the other night when the temps were a little milder until we heard something rustling in the leaves in the woods next to our house and we called it a night a little early! That night was one of the nights when he wasn't such an angel before bedtime and that was the only thing that would calm him down!

I've been looking forward to this challenge! Not sure if I will get to this tonight or first thing in the a.m. I know exactly which supplies I am going to use, and who my angel is. Thanks for the great and inspiring challenge! p.s. loved your sweet story! Blessings, Lela

What a great challenge to end my day!! At first I wasn't sure who my angel would be. Then I remembered my nephew, whom I love like crazy, and how he's going through a tough time (bullies). So this is for him

Loved this challenge. I distressed all edges and sponged them with a darker ink. I also sponged crumb cake over the image after I watercolored it. I am giving this card to my dad. He is indeed an angel. My mother has cancer and he takes such good care of her. I told him he could probably become a nurse! TFL

Well, I couldn't find this challenge! I didn't find it on the main challenge thread. But I saw cards in the gallery, so I looked for it! If you were hiding from me, I found you! Hehe! Here is my Angel Friend.

Thank you for hostessing!

Hello,

I was rushing to upload all the photos of my VSN cards before the deadline and didn't get to post the links until now - SORRY!

Here is my card. Thanks for the cool challenge.
