"The Scarlet Letter" August 08 Mini VSN Challenge A
Title: �The Scarlet Letter�
Hostess: traceteach (Trace)
Keyword: AUG08VSNMINIA
Day/Date: Friday, May 30
Time: 7:00 pm Central
Hello fellow book worms! This is my first time hosting a VSN and I am so excited! I hope you are too! Let's use great literature as a springboard for a great card!
When it comes to classic literature, I immediately think of The Scarlet Letter. When it comes to classic design, I immediately think of rich reds. What better way to create a magnificent card than to combine these two elements?
My challenge to you is to make a card using some type of red letter.
Your card may include any form of letter including (but not limited to):
Stamps
Rub-Ons
Stickers
Chipboard covered with paint and/or designer paper
Sentiment printed in red from your computer
Cards for this challenge can be found
here .
*** ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY June 13, 2008 ***
Uploading Instructions:
*Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. If you are using additional keywords, you must separate them with a comma. 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, in case the gallery is being testy.
Samples left to right: traceteach, peggysue, flutterbees13

So what was the name of that actress who played the lead in the movie, The Scarlet Letter from years ago. I'm saying Kirstie Alley, but why does the name Meg stick in my head?

Okay, cardsbyjo, I love your tagline. I may have to borrow that sometime. I'd like a fairy godmother, too.

You're thinking of Meg Foster, she played Hester in the mini-series.
