Title: Head In The Clouds
Hostess: Theresa aka Misstreez
Keyword: DEC11VSNMINI5
Day/Date: Friday, November 11th
Time: 9:00pm EST
One year we took our children to the snow for a day trip. It was a lovely pleasant drive thru the valleys to get to the base of the mountain. Then we started our ascent. UP UP UP we went. And when we got to the top we could hardly see but 200m (220 yards) in front of us. We were way up in the CLOUDS.
Tonight's challenge is to make a card featuring CLOUDS. The CLOUDS can be stamped, die cut, inked with masks or stencils, patterned paper, or even hand made. So get your head into the CLOUDS and show us where your imagination takes you.

It's November and the cold weather is moving in. I am NOT a huge fan of cold weather, even though I've lived in the Midwest my entire life. I would be quite content if it snowed only in the month's of December and January. It's no secret, I like to be warm and cozy. No better way to do that, than to bundle up!
My challenge is��for you to make a card or project with an image of a something you'd bundle up with....scarf, hats, mittens, sweater, blanket, etc.....AND to make it warm and cozy....... incorporate felt into your project.

Since winter means snow, and snow is white, make an all white card. Too make it pretty, like freshly fallen snow (none of that yellow stuff around here!!), add something shimmery or sparkly. Glitter, shimmer mist, bling...add a little or a lot, but something must shine.
Yes, you may use an image that is not white, provided no less than 75% of a multi-layered card is white. Only the image, or parts there-of, may be in colour. Attached is an example.

Title: Jingle Bell Rock

My favorite thing about the holiday season is listening to all the wonderful Christmas music. From the day after Thanksgiving through Christmas Day, I drive my family crazy with holiday music from Glen Miller to the Bare Naked Ladies. (They really do have an awesome Christmas CD!) Certain songs bring back such nice holiday memories of my childhood.
My favorite holiday song is "Silver Bells". It brings back memories of shopping with my mom and being amazed at the hustle and bustle of the other shoppers, the colorful lights and decorations, and standing in line to get my picture taken with Santa.
Your challenge is to create a card that represents your favorite holiday song. Use at least two layers and two embellishments (i. e. ribbon, brads, something shiny). You get extra points if you share with us why the song is your favorite!

Title: Get Out the Salt!
Hostess: Carole K (ckbythesea)
Keyword: DEC11VSNMINI6

We don't get much snow here at the beach. But when we do have snow and ice, the businesses in town don't want anyone slipping and falling on their sidewalks, especially our large population of retirees! So they get out the salt!
Tonight we are going to get out the salt and salt those icy sidewalks! My challenge is to use the Salted Background technique to create a piece for your card or other project. I have linked a tutorial below for you, but here are a few notes of my own:
The main specialty item you will need is glossy cardstock. Salt: plain old table salt works fine if you don't have "chunkier" varieties like rock salt. You will need something to watercolor with (water color brush or aqua-painter). When choosing your dye ink, two or more colors is really fun, but with just one you still can achieve a nice subtle effect. To speed up drying time you can use a heat tool.
If you are adventurous and want something BOLD, try a brayer to apply the ink in layers of color, spinkle on salt and spray some water on with a mister. The purple sample (1) below was created with a brayer. Fun!
