FEB09VSN9 ~Saturday, Jan 17 8pm ~ I Love You Because.....Chat Thread
Title: Holiday you are most in love with
We all
LOVE holidays, right? Food, Fun, Food, Family....MORE food. Well, at least that's the way it goes at my place. And any ole holiday will do, too. For us, any excuse to get together and eat is a holiday.
So my challenge to you is to make a card inspired by the holiday you are MOST IN LOVE with. When you submit your challenge, be sure to add a comment about WHY you are so much in love with this holiday.
For my sample card, I was inspired by Christmas. I love this holiday....I mean really -- it is the only time I can decorate with glitter and sparkles and not be gaudy or tacky!! So.... my card challenge uses sparkling embossing powder, beads (what Christmas ensemble is complete without beads??) and jewels.
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EST ON SUNDAY, JANUARY 18th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword 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.

Melinda. Great challenge but tough to figure out which one I like best. Have to go think about this a bit and then try and create.

What a great challenge, but it is odd to make a Halloween card in January. The only thing scary around here is the temp. Brr!! It's even making SCS sluggish

I made it simple, cuz that's all my tired brain can take tonight!
Thanks for the challenge!

Thanks for the challenge, it was a good one. My first time to use this set! I was a little behind getting it uploaded as I did not get to start until late. I was at a crop all day and just got started. This was my first card and last for today but hope to work on some tomorrow and get them up. The challenges sound fun but I am too tired too keep going!

This was another great challenge! I actually had a hard time picking a holiday, but finally settled on my original feeling: Thanksgiving.
