FEB11VSNMINI6 ~ Friday, January 21 ~ 11PM EST ~ Slimming Down
Title: Slimming Down
Hostess: Michelle, tygerpaws11
Keyword: FEB11VSNMINI6
Day/Date: Friday, January 21st
Time: 11PM EST
We all know that slimming down is good for the heart, and I, myself, am working on slimming down. I have lost 16 lbs since November 10 with 23 more to go.  (not quite how I lost the weight...)
My challenge to you is a slimmed down card of encouragement (for me if you need someone to encourage)...
Oh yes, you guessed it, it's a LIMITED SUPPLIED challenge.
But, because I love you all, it's a pretty easy one...
Stamps: Any stamps that encourage or motivate you. 
Cardstock & Ink: Any you like as long as you include my favorite color somewhere in there - kraft/tan, but you canNOT use more than TWO layers of cardstock.
Embellishments: Whatever you need to build a card of encouragement.
Explanation: Tell us what about that stamp encourages or motivates you either here when you post your link or the in the description in the gallery. I'll start... For my Skinny Latte image - for one thing, I simply CANNOT function without my latte, so right away this stamp had me. Then, like I said above, I'm trying to lose the weight, so if the latte can do it, so can I! Lastly, this is a digi stamp, so I can make it any size I want; it doesn't hem me into a corner - I can let my creativity free. (Ok, that last one was a stretch, but you know what I mean...  )
The inspiration from those women struggling with any type of cancer is what made me use the Ribbon & Rose stamp, of course.
Now, it's your turn! Please remember that you cannot combine VSN challenges if you wish to be eligible for any recognition, awards, and/or prizes, so what are you doing here? Get stamping!! 
VIEW THE GALLERY FOR THIS CHALLENGE HERE
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 8 PM EST ON Monday, January 24.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, FEB11VSNMINI6, 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 your card is seen.

This is a great challenge. I'll have to go thru my 200+ sets to see if I have any that will fit the bill. It's been well over 2 years since I've bought any sets so I'll have to look at each one to see what I can come up with. I usually only do Birthday, Christmas, or Sympathy cards so I'm not sure what I can work with on this one.

I finally found something to use the Texture Cuts Wood Sheet. They are very slim (does that count?).
Sentiment: Sometimes you just need to know that someone really cares. {That someone is me.}

Does two layers of card stock include the image layer? For example, I would want to image on card stock with a little backing showing and then place that duo on the main card.

If your "backing" is card stock, then that would not be within the guidelines of the challenge... perhaps, you could think of something else to "back" your image... I'm just sayin'.... __________________ Hi, my name is Michelle Single, and I'm a craft addict. Check out my Caffeine & Stamps blog.
