Title: Happy Christmas
Hostess: Carole (FibreJunky)
Keyword: NOV10VSNA
Day/Date: Friday, November 12
Time: 6:00 PM EST
In thinking about what puts me on cloud 9, I got to thinking about one of my favorite times of the year. And what makes me happiest? Well, Christmas, of course! I love the decorations, the music, the joy. People are nicer to each other. The looks on little children's faces warm my heart. And of course, we can't forget all of the wonderful food!
My challenge for you is to make a Christmas card, but I don't want any traditional Christmas colors. No sirree Bob! No green and no red.
Let's see what beauty we can create without 'em.

Keyword: NOV10VSNB
Day/Date: Friday, Nov 12th

When I think of angels I think of clouds, and when I think of clouds I think of cotton. I know that they are really just fog, but they look like cotton and in my mind that is what they feel like.
Your challenge is to make a card with cotton on it. It can be fabric, a cotton ball, flocking anything soft and cottony.

Time: 8:00pm EST
I can still hear my mom singing Ella's "Meloncholy Baby" while folding laundry . . . she sang a lot while doing mundane tasks, of which there were a lot with four kids! Maybe the lyrics "every cloud must have a silver lining" struck a chord with her, maybe I'll ask her one day.
So the idiom of these lyrics is one of hope, of optimism, and we have silver, and a lining. Your challenge is to create a card with:
1. Create a card with a theme of hope, optimism, a better tomorrow.
2. Silver: use one or more silver embellishment: ribbon, hardware, foil; whatever you�ve got!
3. Lining: decorate the inside of your card with cardstock, images, etc. (not just a sentiment).

Time: 9:00pm EST
Well ladies (and gents) it's 9 o'clock and time for you to all get dressed up to the NINES!!! I love it when I have a special occasion to go to which means I can wear a posh frock! Doesn't it just make you feel so good when you wear fabulous clothes? And now's the time to make your card look good too.
This challenge is all about dressing your card up in rich, elegant colours, think deep reds, blues, purples and greens with a touch of metallics for your jewellery, so add a bit of gold, silver or bronze.
To really dress your card up to the nines you need to add some luxurious embellishments too, so I want to see satins, velvets, silk, lace and so on. You might even want to add an extra shimmer using some shimmer paint or glimmer mist.
I can't wait to see all the posh frock cards in the gallery!

Title: Optimism
Hostess: Toni (ravengirl)
Keyword: NOV10VSNE
Day/Date: Friday, November 12th
Time: 10:00pm EST
Here we are on Cloud 9 and I am so happy to be here!
For me, happiness and optimism go hand and hand. "Every cloud has a silver lining" is a quote about optimism, or looking on the bright side of things. I turned this quote over and over in my head and my thoughts came back to my mother. Among many other things, she taught me the practice of optimism and tried to teach me to sew :(. My attempts at sewing are not pretty and I am working on it!
In honor of my mother, my challenge is...to make a card or project including silver and a line art image or silver and some kind of stitching. Your something silver can be card stock, ink, embossing powder, brads, eyelets, thread, etc. As long as it is silver in color, anything goes! A line art image should be an image with little to no solid areas. Your stitching can be machine stitching, hand stitching or faux stitching.
Have fun with this challenge! I can't wait to see all of your fabulous creations!

Title: Thankful for...
Hostess: Lela, Serenity_Stamper
Keyword: NOV10VSNF
Day/Date: Friday, November 12th
Time: 11:00pm EST
When I think of clouds, I think of goodness and lightness and love and heaven... and then I think of how amazingly grateful I am. I am grateful for the people in my life, grateful for my stamps and my stamping community here on SCS, and grateful that I can spend time being creative.
My challenge celebrates Gratitude. Simply, the challenge is to make a "Thank You" card. Please take creative liberty to go where you go with this -- there are as many unique things and people to be thankful for as there are stampers playing in this challenge (and more!).
It's a great time here in the U.S. for this challenge, since the Thanksgiving holiday is right around the corner. However, I love Gratitude so much that I think it's a great theme for any time of year in any part of the world.
The dessert option, if you're in the mood for something yummy, is to personalize your card somehow. My entry is the card that I am making for the loved ones in my life this Thanksgiving. I am personalizing each one. The card I loaded here is for my dear friend Betsy.
Maybe your personalization will include words... maybe it will include a little image that reminds you of your special someone.
I have also included a card that my sister (DorisOnTheLake) made. I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am for my sister. I already sent the personalized version of my card to her, letting her know how much I love her!
My hope is that you have fun, celebrate Gratitude, and BE YOURSELF!
Thank you for the honor and opportunity to be hostess tonight. And thank you for your participation on SCS!
Blessings,
Lela

Day/Date: Saturday, November 13, 2010
Time: 12:00pm EST
I love watching clouds...whether I am laying at the beach looking up or cruising high above in an airplane....there is nothing prettier than a clear blue sky with the tiniest wisp of cloud or a cloudy sky with a ray of sunshine peeking through. I have attached some thumbnail pictures below as examples.
To reflect the beauty of these two types of sky, my challenge is to make a card with lots of white space...(or blue space, or whatever colour you like space!) Just make sure that the majority of your design is "white space".
Here are some ideas to get you started: feature one of those tiny stamps in your collection, use some of the scraps you have left from your previous card or keep it simple with just a gorgeous sentiment...

Time: 1:00 PM EST
I am one angel with a tarnished and crooked halo, not afraid of life's little temptations. . . which leads to my challenge. Do you remember "The Temptations"--the legendary Motown group famous for songs such as "My Girl" and "Ain't Too Proud To Beg?" They also recorded "Cloud Nine"--a song about getting away from hard times.
If you remember The Temptations, then you remember how they moved and grooved in unison--every finger, every hand, every foot, every muscle of the group moved in symmetrical vibe. I loved it! So get your groove on. I'd like to see you create a project where you use the SAME image at least THREE times as the FOCAL POINT of your project.
"Cloud Nine
You can be what you want to be, ah
Cloud nine
You ain't got no responsibility
Cloud nine
Every man in his mind is free
Cloud nine
You're a million miles from reality
Cloud nine
You can be what you want to be"

Title: Floating Sentiment
Hostess: Denise, Resqbarbie
Keyword: NOV10VSNI 2 PM EST
Day/Date: Saturday, November 13th
Time: 2:00 pm EST
It's a beautiful bright spring day and you are in your favorite park, walking along. The air is your perfect temperature, you are wearing your favorite outfit and your hair looks awesome (you just got it done).
Now, look up in the sky.....ahhhh .... The clouds look beautiful. (Hey, that one looks like a Cuttlebug machine!) The clouds are so soft and billowy and....FLOATING in the sky!
My challenge to you is to make your sentiment "Float" like the clouds in the sky.
What does that mean, you ask? Well, your sentiment should be popped up and maybe it's floating over your focal image, or just to the side. You can also cut up your sentiment by the words and go totally scrappy with it! Just as long as it's not stamped on the focal image or background directly. "Floating" on top of the card itself!

You can use stamps, designer papers, punches, chipboard, rub-ons; actually anything that you have that may represent things you find above you. You may choose whatever colors or layout you like. So let's have fun...the sky's the limit! Sorry, couldn't resist that one...

Any shade of blue will do! Pair it up with crisp white and add sparkly details in gold or silver. Or go mostly white with just a hint of blue. Let your imagination soar!

Hi friends! I hope you are enjoying these wonderful Cloud Nine challenges.
I was so excited when asked to be an angel for this VSN! It's timing is pretty special for me, too, as I thought of my challenge theme since I just celebrated 10 years of marriage 2 days ago!! When "you're on cloud nine" you feel wonderful! Like nothing else is really very important.I can think of many times in my life when I felt this way. The day I married my husband, the day we bought our first home, finding out I was pregnant & giving birth to each of my 3 children!! I guess I could go on & on!
So, my challenge to you is to think about a time in your life when you felt like YOU were on CLOUD 9 - could be when you landed your dream job, fell in love, etc. then create a card OR layout that depicts this special event in your life using stamping of course! I can't wait to see what you come up with! I made a layout when I was pregnant with my son AND a card celebrating my 10 year anniversary so you can see how this challenge can be used either way.

Hi friends! I hope you are enjoying the Cloud Nine challenges.
Many of you know that in my professional life, I use a lot of numbers, math and statistics. So my challenge for you is to do a little "Cloud Nine Math". NO groaning please--- this is easy-peasy math. Make one of the following: a 3 X 3 note card tote, a 3 x 3 note card box, or four 3 X3 note cards.
To make four 3x3 cards, use 6 X 12 paper. Cut the 12" side at 3, 6, 9 inches. You'll now have four 3 X 6 papers. Fold each in half for a 3 X 3 card. Make card fronts.

Hello everyone! Your local Meteorologist just called with a weather report...and he said it's "Cloudy with the chance of a SKETCH"!
Attached is my sample card with a sketch for you to follow. Use a shape at the top...as you can see mine is floating right off the top of my card. Make yours "floaty", too! It can be any shape, but triple extra credit points if you use a wavy or scallopy shape...like a cloud! You can use punches, nesties, hand-cut a shape...anything will do. Don't forget to add a breezy little sentiment at the bottom of your card! It can be a banner like mine, or it can be stamped right on the card base!
