AUG08VSNMINIC -- Anne's Inspiration
 

Challenge Title: Anne's Inspiration
Book Tittle: Before Green Gables
VSN Code: AUG08VSNMINIC
Date and Time: Friday, May 30 9:00 P.M. CST

I recently read (and highly recommend) a book called Before Green Gables. The book is about Anne Shirley's life before she went to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. The book talks about Anne's developmental years and decribes in great detail how she fell in love with words, partially attributed to the poem The Lady of the Lake by Sir Walter Scott.

So...my challenge to you is to make a card inspired by your favorite poem. The only condition is that you must add at least part of your poem to your card discription. It can include how you arrived at your inspiration, but that is not required.

Have fun!!

Cards for this challenge can be found HERE.

*** ALL VSN MINI CREATIONS FOR MAY MUST BE UPLOADED BY JUNE 13***

Hi Melinda ! Drats, I just used my favorite poem on an IC challenge a few weeks ago but if you get bored here ( while we go stamp ) check it out in my gallery. I know you will like it and it's called " Gods Porch " the card is bright yellow. Ok off to use another fav poem for inspiration, buh bye now !

Mel. Great challenge. Now if I can just pull together my idea.

My favorite childhood poem is swirling through my head. Off to create!!

not sure about a poem! how about a fav scripture?

Great Idea!!

Oh gosh, I don't know any poems!!! This is truly a challenge for me!!! Off to create!!!

Phenomenal Woman

What are the psalms, Song of Solomon or Isaiah if not poetic?

Here's mine!

The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere

I hate being late to a party. But someone locked the door and I couldn't get in (translate SCS wasn't there for me!) Sounds like fun, Mel.

Ok here are mine:

Iris by Night (Bow)

I searched and searched for a poem that would bring an idea, and now I think I have one! Hope to get the card done tonight, but if not, this weekend for sure. Great challenge, Mel!

Great Idea, didn't think of that! :-D

You think that was an accident?















Just kiddin! :) Luv ya, Jean!

Ok i'm going to peel some potatoes but i'll be around :)

It's okay, I had the gin and the vodka, and the rum, but if you're going to be that way, go read in a corner by yourself! :D

Huh? I mean, huh? Isn't that flattering! Peeling potatoes over playing with us. I feel so mashed, in fact I'm a little boiled, very close to getting fried!

Good Question
 

Theresa, I am glad you asked. I was just thinking that I don't really get into poetry, but can easily find something from the Bible. Now what to create??? I think I'll work on challenge B and then come back to this one.

Bwaaaaa haaaaaaa!!!!

Jean is rapidly turning into Julienne, watch out! (someone call Ronco)

Are we having some french fries with this challenge. I'm hungry. Missed dinner tonight. Or some yummy mashed potatoes with cheese. Mmmmm! I better stop thinking of food and start stamping!!!

Or think of a poem about potatoes . . . could provide just the inspiration you need!

Don't forget Desiderata and the Psalms--beautiful words--and what's the one about to everything there is a season--there's a lot to choose from.

potatoe salad actually

Ooooooo, Peggysue (in my best Olympia Dukakis voice) you are becoming a regular SA! Very good! I may not be able to top this.

True, there's Ecclesiastes too.

Do you remember those commercials? "Slices, dices and makes thousands of julienned fries!" I think Mel might need one of those, then she'd be back here much quicker.

I have a quote my husband always uses about those machines--but this is polite company and he always gets a jab in the ribs when he uses it.

Good Gracious Alive! I have been commenting like a mad woman and CANNOT keep up with all of these wonderful creations! I have JUST NOW finished (for now!) commenting on the first 2 challenges...whew! Can't wait to see all these great creations for this challenge!!!!!

Ok, here's mine!

My favorite poem:

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae

I was able to pull this one together.
My all time favorite poem is Footprints in the Sand. It reminds me a lot of my life and makes me thankful HE has been there to help me through some tough times.

FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND

lol -- it's the peeling that takes the longest
