Challenge Title: Get Some Advice
Hostess: Kim (aka berlycece)
Keyword: APR19VSNA
Date: Friday April 12, 5:00 pm ET

In 2013, my husband and I were blessed to celebrate our 20th anniversary with a 3-week vacation in Italy. We planned it ourselves; no tour groups at all. In preparation, we spent a lot of time on Trip Advisor, a website where you can info on hotels, restaurants, museums, parks...you name it.

So, as you plan your stamping trip "From Here to There" I want you to find INSPIRATION on this site. Maybe the color of some beach umbrellas, or the rugged terrain at Machu Pichu. Perhaps you are inspired by a collection of photos.

To get you started, I am going to link up a few pages. Then feel free to explore. This is an Inspiration Challenge; don't be afraid to think outside the box.

Hotels in Milan Italy

Restaurants in Zimbabwe

Attractions in New Zealand

Glacier National Park in the USA.

I can't wait to see what you create!

View the gallery for this challenge: HERE
View the From Here to There gallery: HERE
View the From Here to There Challenge Thread: HERE


1. ALL Mini VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY Thursday April 11th, 10 PM ET in order to qualify for a Virtuoso Prize
2. ALL Main VSN creations must be uploaded by Monday April 22nd, 10 PM ET to qualify for a prize.

3. You have 1 hour to complete the challenge, unless otherwise noted.....you do not have to count prep time!

4. We have a special gallery for the From Here to There VSN.
a) From the "Main Gallery" dropdown list on the first page of the uploader, choose Events and Special Collections.
b) From the Sub-gallery dropdown list, choose Virtual Stamping and Scrapbooking Nights ~ it's the last in the list.
c) From the new sub-gallery dropdown list choose From Here to There- it's the very bottom of the list.
5. Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
6. Please do not combine VSN challenges...but you may combine any other challenges with a VSN challenge!

It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen. THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING ALONG!!!

Yeah, here we go! I have to head to work, but use the spaces in my day to plan the challenge cards.

Have fun everyone!

smadson 04-12-2019 01:01 PM

smadson 04-12-2019 01:03 PM

This is quite an inspirational site! So much to choose from!

Me too!! Here we go!!

berlycece 04-12-2019 01:09 PM

Hi Sharon!
Yes, that site is filled with good stuff!

I love to travel, and have been blessed to take some amazing vacations. I didn't really look at Trip Advisor until hubby and I planned our Italian trip. We did everything on our own; no tour guide. It was amazing!

Yep...you could spend an hour just surfing the site!

Maybe start with a search on one of your dram vacation spots. Or if you're into cuisine from a certain area.

JanetJ 04-12-2019 01:20 PM

Oh, I have dreams of where I would like to go! Now to look for something I can use in a card...

We're going to have severe thunderstorms tomorrow night - only good thing about the rain is it will wash pollen away!

berlycece 04-12-2019 01:22 PM

Hi Polly!

I have several friends in MN and the Dakotas. Everyone seems tired of it.

Except Lee!!

LuvLee thinks snow is lovely even in April. :p

annsforte3 04-12-2019 01:24 PM

And if Lee could have pink snow she would be even happier!!

Shoe Girl 04-12-2019 01:25 PM

Super fun challenge Kim. I had fun visiting the site looking for inspiration.

annsforte3 04-12-2019 01:26 PM

Hi Lisa!! Glad to see you!

How is your mom doing?

cdimick 04-12-2019 01:29 PM

Oh Kim, now my mind is going in a different direction on what to do!

Hi All!

I just made a super fast card (20 minutes)... getting ready to upload it now.

Jeanette's Get Some Advice Card
 
You can find my card HERE.

I was inspired by photos in my search of Glacier National Park.

smadson 04-12-2019 01:42 PM

Here is mine! My inspiration reminded me of this background I had made another time. Red rock against stark blue.

You didn't confuse me, I just changed directions based on your comment. I'm waiting to upload it though.

JRHolbrook 04-12-2019 02:23 PM

It took me longer to get picture and upload my card than doing it! Having computer issues. Oh well, onto next challenge! New Zealand and Australia are on my bucket list, so I found some parrots to inspire me! Here's my card:

Vannie 04-12-2019 02:44 PM

My iPad mini has troubles with that site. So I just googled Japanese tea house and found an inspirational photo. Whew, I'm exhausted already, after just one card! Taking a tea break and catching up on the chatter. I'll post my photos later from the main computer downstairs.

annsforte3 04-12-2019 02:48 PM

Hi Vannie, good to see you here!

Jeannette 04-12-2019 02:54 PM

INspired by Alaska!

Vannie 04-12-2019 02:57 PM

As I take my break and read the chatter, my cat is going crazy. The sun reflects off the iPad screen onto the ceiling and she loves to chase lights like from a flashlight. She can't get at these ones on the ceiling! Silly kitty.

cdimick 04-12-2019 03:05 PM

Here is my entry:

April in Paris

I'll be back later to comment!
