MAR13VSNB ~ Friday, March 1st ~ 6:00pm EST ~ Halloween!
Title: Halloween
Hostess: Melissa, mollymoo951
Keyword: MAR13VSNB
Day/Date: Friday, March 1st
Time: 6:00pm EST
When I first saw the theme "Birds, Bees & Creepy Crawlies", I immediately zeroed in on the CREEPY CRAWLIES. When else...ya gonna see CREEPY CRAWLIES but on HALLOWEEN! :mrgreen:
My challenge is threefold!
1. You must use something HALLOWEEN themed on your card.
2. Your creepy crawlie must be SHINY!
3. Your card must contain CHOCOLATE! As in milk chocolate / SU! Chocolate Chip color. (Chocolate fingerprints? Well...OK. I'll count those. )
There's several ways to go here. Your Halloween themed item can be paper or stamps. Your shiny could be heat embossing, Crystal Effects or glitter.
I have one sample to share. The first one...I use a sentiment from SU! Web Wishes, a Halloween stamp set. My worm is from SU! Bugs & Kisses, a NON-Halloween stamp set. The middle panel is a mild Halloween patterend paper.
Go mild or go wild! I didn't have time to go wild. :lol: Have fun!
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON March 4th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. We have a special gallery for the Birds, Bees & Creepy Crawlies VSN. When you click on Member Galleries to access the drop-down list, either scroll to the very bottom of the list (or just hit the End key which will take you straight there), and upload to that gallery .
4. Please remember to put in the correct keyword,MAR13VSNB, 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 you creation is seen.

What?! VSN is hazardous to our diets... I just wanted to make sure that the chocolate theme was well represented in my efforts. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it.

And that reminds me...I guess I could go after a cup of coffee and eat those Cadbury Mini Eggs I picked up in Michael's today. They were having a rockin' clearance sale...SMASH stuff...slashed!

No creepy crawlies and the creepy crawlies obviously aren't shiny.
Really like this...no, they don't crawl...but i think you hit the creepy. Pretty cool card. Amazing how we can make Halloween cards with non-halloween specific stamps.

Ugh, you are not helping me stay out of Mike's! ;)
Challenging challenge, Melissa!!! I'm gonna have to think on this! Are butterflies and bees creepy crawlies? Or only the more objectionable bugs? ;)

Hi Sharon!
It doesn't have to be a Halloween stamp...just Halloween themed! Got a worm...ok...that did not come out right. Got a worm stamp? A spider stamp? Halloween DSP?

By all means...if you can fit a butterfly or a bee into a shiny, chocolate, Halloween card...GO FOR IT! :mrgreen:
Okay, don't confuse me, lol! Does it need to be a Halloween card? Or just use a Halloween item??

I have several jars from Stampendous (I know you're shocked). I also have Iridescent Ice from SU which is a clear base. Are you gonna make me post a photo of them to prove I'm nuts for buying things I *hate* to use? :mrgreen:
