SURPRISE CHALLENGE: Bellie Up!
Title : Bellie Up to the Buffet
Hostesses : Lori Craig (stamp_momma) and Jenn (jbalcer)
Keyword :
MAY09VSN2
Day/Date : April 24th
Time : 8:00 PM eastern (7 PM central)
No one starts a night on the town in Vegas on an empty stomach, now do they?
We've got your famous Las Vegas Buffet-line right here! Who doesn't like to have a few choices on the entree and the side items, and I really love a good salad bar. But, let's be brutally honest here.... it's all about the dessert, isn't it? Cheesecake, creme brulee, cobblers, CARROT CAKE! MMMMM, MMMMM!
Well, we'd be remiss if we didn't kick off Vegas night with a trip through the buffet line. Best thing about this one is that it's calorie free.
Bellie up to the Buffet!
Grab yourself:
a main dish entree - favorite stamps set
a couple of side items - cardstock and ink
and head straight the dessert cart, girls. Feast your eyes on this:
That's right, an open buffet of embellishments. We're going wild with the desserts...
Our challenge to you is to choose at least 3 dessert items from the list and have at it. Show us what you've got when there are no calories to contend with.
Buttons
Brads
Glitter
Dew Drops
Punches
Sewing
Ribbon
Eyelets
Rhinestones
Die Cuts, Whatever you can think of . . . . Accessorize it, baby!
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON MONDAY.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword
MAY09VSN2 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 the chat thread just in case the gallery is being testy.
VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE HERE
Here's Lori's - Mine is in the works!
I'll be playing along with y'all!
And hey. . .I know the lovely Pit Bosses have said that there will be prizes, and oh, yeah, we have some. We'll do a random drawing from participants for some Splitcoaststampers store stuff - I'm thinking we can swing at least 5. Y'all come back on Friday (whoops! I was late!) . . . we'll post the winners right here!
Winners, send an email to
[email protected] , and we'll get you set up with some *stuff*:

Hi ya back! I'm gonna sit and chat with you girls, then I'll schedule my 45 mins.
Kristen - if you can get your hands on some, Bazzill has terrific sherbet CS colors. I just LOVE them. They're textured, too.
