JUN20VSNMINI2 ~ Don't Stand So Close! ~ Fri May 29, 6 pm ET
Challenge Title: Don't Stand So Close! Hostess: Kim (aka berlycece) Keyword: JUN20VSNMINI2 Date: Friday May 29, 2020 6 pm ET
We have all been dealing with the recent pandemic and the recommendations from medical experts to stay healthy and safe. In the early stages of stay-at-home orders here in Illinois, I saw many people trying to make light of a stressful and difficult situation by coming up with their own Corona Playlist. One of the most popular songs listed has been by The Police: Don't Stand So Close to Me."
My challenge is a sketch challenge. The 4 circles can be a different shape, just make them all the same shape (e.g. stars, hearts.) You can use any stamps, any colors, and sentiments as long as it is summer related.
One final note: I know I have been thinking a lot about people dealing with this head-on. I have a brother-in-law who contracted the virus (doing well in home isolation so far) and lots of family members who are nurses. I also have friends and family members out of work because of the shut down. My heart goes out to everyone. Please know this challenge is not to make fun of the situation, just to find a bright side through our craft.

Challenge Title: Hats Off Hostess: Melody aka lacyquilter Keyword: JUN20VSNB Date: Friday, June 26, 5 pm ET
I love country western music. Many country singers wear a cowboy hat, Stetson and Resistol being a couple of popular brands.
Image from clipart-library.com
My challenge to you is to include a cowboy hat on your card. So what do you do if you do not have a cowboy hat in your collection? I actually do not own a stamp or die of a cowboy hat, so I needed to be creative. I found a free image on line and used that for one card, but I also created a hat using a punch. Directions are below*. However, if you don't like these options, any type of hat will be acceptable. Whatever you do, have fun. I look forward to seeing all your creations.
*How to make a cowboy hat with ovals. I used a punch, but dies will also work. Punch 2 ovals (I used the same size). Then trim about half off of one oval; use your punch or scissors. I wanted a band, so I added one. Cut a rounded 'V' for the top of the hat. At this point, you could glue the pieces together and use as is. I chose to give mine some dimension by using a bone folder to curve the rim upward. I also added a bit of ink around the edge. Click on the pictures below to see the steps.

Date: Friday June 26, 2020 6pm ET
I'm so glad that you could join me for my first ever VSN challenge! I really enjoy the song "Fishin' in the Dark" by The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band. It has such a catchy tune and great lyrics full of summertime imagery.
My challenge to you is to use the song lyrics as inspiration. Let us know in the description what part of the lyric inspired you. Use your imagination, anything goes!

Your challenge is to be inspired by the title ~ Create a card with polka dots as your focal background. This could be stencils, hand dipped, patterned paper, Etc and include the color yellow somewhere on your card.
The optional twist to this challenge is inspired by the lyric in the song that says 'she was afraid to come out of the locker, she was as nervous as she could be.' Try something you've been nervous about attempting, maybe a new to you technique or a new product.
Recap: polka dots, yellow, courage and have fun! (Bikinis are optional, either on your card or person! Hee hee!)

My favorite summer song is from Grease, sung by Olivia Newton John and John Travolta, titled "Summer Nights"!
At the end of every chorus the words ring out...oh oh the summer nights!! The final line to the song we all probabley remember, if you have seen the movie, together they sing...oh those summer nights! I can hear it now those high notes they reach!!
So my challenge is to make a card depicting a summer night!!
If you need further inspiration here are the lyrics to the song:
Summer loving had me a blast
Summer loving happened so fast
I met a girl crazy for me
Met a boy cute as can be
Summer days drifting away to ho oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
Did you get very far,
Tell me more, tell me more
Like does he have a car
She swam by me she got a cramp
He ran by me got my suit damp
I saved her life she nearly drowned
He showed off splashing around
Summer sun somethings begun but oh oh the summer nights
Tell me more, tell me more
Was it love at first sight?
Tell me more, tell me more
Did she put up a fight?
Took her bowling in the arcade
WE went strolling drank lemonade
We made out under the dock
We stayed out till 10 o'clock
Summer fling don't mean a thing but oh oh the summer nights.
Tell me more, tell me more
But you don't gotta brag
Tell me more, tell me more
Cause he sounds like a drag
He got friendly holding my hand
She got friendly down in the sand
He was sweet just turned eighteen
Well she was good you know what I mean
Summer heat boy and girl meet but oh oh the summer nights.
Tell me more, tell me more
How much dough did he spend?
Tell me more, tell me more
Could she get me a friend?
It turned colder that's where it ends
So I told her we'd still be friends
Then we made our true love vow
Wonder what she's doing now
Summer dreams ripped at the seams but OH THOSE SUMMER NIGHTS!!!

Challenge Title: You are the Stamping Queen! Hostess: Kim (aka berlycece) Keyword: JUN20VSNF Date: Friday June 26, 2020 9 pm ET
A couple of years ago, I was searching YouTube for some upbeat music to help me get motivated to make a bunch of cards. Something made me think of ABBA's music, and I ended up binging on their original music videos! I didn't get much done that day, but now I often turn on their tunes if I need a boost of energy.
The group is known for great harmonies, and their videos often feature crazy disco-era costumes. You get away with a lot when you are a global success!
My challenge for you is 2-fold.
1. The 2 female lead singers look very different, but they compliment each other beautifully. Feature TWO SEPARATE IMAGES that coordinate well together.
2. Add lots of embellishments! No VSN police, so what "lots" means can vary. Maybe an extra large bow, lots of sequins, glitter...whatever you want!
Thanks to my sample makers! You are all stamping queens!
The title of my challenge is inspired by the song Dancing Queen, BUT the challenge itself is not about that song. It's all about the overall sound of ABBA. My favorite ABBA song is "Take a Chance on Me"

Good Afternoon! Welcome to the next challenge. I hope you all are having as much fun as I am doing these challenges. When I thought of what might be on a Summer Playlist, I thought of several songs with the word Summer in them, and thought right away of Summer In The City by the Lovin' Spoonful. I thought it would be a fun challenge to challenge you to put a city scene on your cards or something you might find in the city. So, go create, have fun! Below are some samples from our hostesses for your inspiration! I can't wait to see what you come up with!

I was born and raised in southern California and spent a considerable amount of time on the beaches there. Lots of stories to tell, but I won't include them here. The soundtrack to my younger days included A LOT of Beach Boys songs. My surfer buddy Kent and I attended a Beach Boys concert around New Year's every year for several years running. When the Beach Boys did their "Endless Summer" tour with the band Chicago, my sister and I went to see them at Anaheim Stadium. It was a sunny, fun-filled day and exciting performance and all the rest - one of those events that you never forget. I included the Endless Summer album cover on a collage I did for a challenge some years ago (see thumbnail below).
My challenge to you is to make a card (or other project) inspired by one of the Beach Boys songs. If you are unfamiliar, here is a link to the Wikipedia page: Endless Summer (Beach Boys album)and to the entire album on YouTube: Beach Boys Endless Summer

Not only do I love coloring animals for my cards, but I love watching the wildlife at home during the warm weather months. We have a family of five deer in the woods our apartment faces along with many squirrels. Last summer, there was a black squirrel. It was the first time I'd seen one of those! We usually see bunnies but not this year. We live near a dog park so we see a lot of people walking their dogs. My autistic son loves seeing them and I love seeing him happy about something.
My challenge for you is an easy one. Use two or more animals on your creation. They can be the same kind of animals or different. No need to ask if birds, mice, alligators, etc. are animals. Close enough. Just have fun!

Challenge Title: Boot Scootin' Hostess: tessaduck (Brenda) Keyword: JUN20VSNN TWO (2) N's! Date: Saturday June 27, 7 P. M. ET
I very much miss my line dancing group, which has been suspended with the covid19 lockdown. So much good happens with dancing: social, mental, physical, and fun! but hard to do solo. Or via Zoom. Yes, there are limitations to technology.
But not with our music. Yes, there's lots of country, but there's also vintage rock, and more. My favorites are "Dizzy" (my head is spinning. In more ways than dancing) and Bicycle Waltz. Oh! and "Louis Louis"! "Bossa Nova". I can go on... Actually, most dance patterns can work with any other kinds of songs.
My challenge is to use line dancing music as inspiration for your playlist project. Don't feel limited to country music. Think any dance tunes, or dancing shoes/boots, or even things in a line. I was thinking to do another sample card using a loaded clothesline!

One of the qualities of music is the tone- and when the tone starts out low and increasingly becomes louder, it is called Crescendo!!!
For this Crescendo challenge- try to make a water color panel that starts out light in tone and increasingly becomes darker. You can use many mediums to watercolor- Watercolors, Distress inks, reinkers, stamp pads, markers, etc.... -Do NOT to use colors that are complimentary next to each other, as they blend, they will turn to brown (Purple and yellow, Orange and Blue, Red and Green). -To lighten a color, add more water drops, and for a darker color less water. -You do NOT need watercolor paper to do this technique. Do not dry between colors unless you want the look of the lines of the color at the edges (called harsh lines in watercoloring).

The playlist song for this challenge is "Itsy Bitsy Teenie Weanie" by Brian Hyland released in June 1960. In addition to being catchy and sing alongable, it brings back fond memories of my dad playing it on his 8 track player!
