I've never hosted a VSBN before and I've really had a good time preparing for it. It was so hard to come up with a sample because I rely on all of you so much to cheat!
I used (more than!) three of my favorite things:
* a sketch (I used Pencil Lines #126 for this and made a coordinating facing page)
* metal (brads, in this case)
* ribbon
* Pretties kit
* chipboard
We have four bedrooms in our house, but I chose to use 5 pictures.
The technique I don't use enough is heat embossing. I love it but just don't do it as often as I should!
I sponge-dyed the pretties flower with crushed curry and then sponged the tips with melon mambo for dimension and gradation.

Wow! Great stamping - did you heat emboss the swirls or the matting behind the 4 photos on the right side? I like that it looks all sparkly! Great sample for your fun challenge.
