4. after all cards are submitted we will have a survey to vote from Feb. 1st until Feb. 5th
5. the person with the most votes for their card will get ALL the cards!
Challenge:
glossy paper!
Yes, you must use a technique on glossy paper. That is the only rule for this challenge. I have a list below of different ways to "use" glossy paper.
Location: NE IL until the US Navy sends us elsewhere!

I need to see if I can actually FIND my glossy cardstock first. It occurs to me that I don't remember unpacking it... but I know I bought a whole package and don't think I used more than a couple sheets... it's got to be here somewhere!!!

I had been looking at some of the threads earlier and I know some of the techniques do NOT come out right on photo paper but I don't know if that is for all the techniques. You are more then welcome to play around with some and see what you come up with though! And it's not a dumb question, others have actually asked the same thing, that's how I know!!! ;)
I used to use glossy paper all the time and haven't for ages, I'll have to do this.
AnnMarie - I've never used photo paper, but a SS sent me a package once and said it worked great for her, she never used anything else. (I'm still using up the first package of glossy I bought so haven't tried the photo paper.)

Super! Thanks for the info Kat! I appreciate it! : ) I will let you ladies know what I find out!
I noticed the other day that we are both in Batgirl's 6 month Secret Sis swap! Fun stuff!
Of course I will sign up ... April, if you would like me to host the next one I will ... let me know girly ...
Guess what...the next round is all yours!!! I will let you know when to post. (you have 2 weeks though) and I will take care of the survey. I think I got it all down pat now! It wasn't as easy to navigate as I thought it was going to be!
This is going to be a fun challenge. I think I might try the soot. I haven't done it before and I might just need to play with some fire! Good thing my DH is a firefighter huh!!! LOL!
I don't have glossy paper either but before I bought a whole pack I was going to try my photo paper. I think I'm actually going to play with this tonight because I'm kid free and it's only 615pm. So I'm going to spend some QT crafting.

Oh, yes, I will participate! This has been really fun! I remembered in the last challenge to make a second card, so I have one for myself and one to send to the winner!
Glad to see we can use photo paper to try the techniques out.

I actually picked using the glossy paper (or photo paper if you don't have glossy) because I was just looking at my stack of glossy paper the other day realizing I had not used it in forever. So I thought it would be fun to get it out and do something with it.
I thought I would join this and thought WLG meant something like must be from your existing stash or something since I had never heard of it, then I read on to see it's an existing group, and now I'm trying to delete my sign up and not having any luck, only in editing - so count me out. ;( I am not a member of the WLG - but ladies - what a fun challenge!!
I'm going to be closing this tomorrow (Sunday 25th) and you can start posting your cards in your gallery as soon as Thursday (29th)!
I hope your all having fun playing with your glossy paper!
Colleen you did such a beautiful job. I'm so glad we have till Saturday to post this challenge. I plan to work on it tomorrow night. Things have been crazy busy at home the past 2 weeks.
These are turning out really great! I'm being bad and waiting till the last minute to put mine together. I'm wanting to do the soot but can't find a stamp I think will look good with it! I'll figure something out!
