AUG09VSNM~SAT AUG 15th~8PM EDT~FOIL DINNER~CHAT THREAD
Title: FOIL DINNER
Hostess: Diane (diane617)
Keyword: AUG09VSNM
Saturday, August 15, 2009
Time: 08:00PM (EDT)
Anyone who knows me, knows I have 2 passions, papercrafting and Girl Scouts. I still have a troop of 6 Senior Girl Scouts, even though my own daughters are married. As a trainer, I also teach new leaders how to cook when they take their troop camping. Foil dinners are a favorite choice.
Here is a link to some great recipes.
Foil Dinner: a favorite Girl Scout meal, all of the ingredients wrapped in a piece of foil, shiny side out, and thrown directly into the fire to cook. Everyone gets what they like and it's an easy peasy cleanup. To make your foil dinner tonight, use a metallic embossing powder and throw it in the fire (heat tool) and let's see your shiny side.
So in summary for this challenge, use metallic embossing powder, your heat tool, and have fun. I can smell the wonderful aromas already!
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EDT ON SUNDAY, AUGUST 16th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword (AUG09VSNM) 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.

Great challenge. The trick to not overcooking is to be sure that you have enough moisture so that you steam the veggies.

That's funny, I've used some stamps for the first time this weekend too! Once it's used, it's easier to use it again. :rolleyes:

I have a lappy. I always put it on my beanbag lap desk, so I don't have heat issues.
