MAR07VSNN 7:00pm - Chat Thread � Let's Fly Away!
MAR07VSNN 7:00pm � Let's Fly Away!
Lenny Kravitz sang to me (and a few million others) in 1998:
I wish that I could flyget away fly away
For me, get-aways are nearly always fly-aways, so this song has been stuck in my head ever since the VSN theme was announced! Your challenge is to make a card featuring �anything that flies.� Here are links to two samples in my gallery:
Be creative in interpreting this challenge. I�ve used some obvious flying objects for my samples, but I�ve got a few less literal ideas in mind too�I can�t wait to see your unique ideas!
Instructions:
If you have any questions, I'll be available in this thread. Happy Stamping!

Great challenge! I've got tons of ideas, but none of the stamps to back them up. First thought was fly-away hair (can you tell I'm sick of winter and staticky hair!) but I don't have one of those hairybellas... Off to the stamp shelf to see what flies off

Thanks! Looking forward to seeing it -- I sat the last challenge out, because I was nervous about my first time being a hostess!

That one was really fun! I have a great antique dirigible stamp. Hardest part was deciding which color papers looked antique to go with it.

For some reason my butterfly is not showing well in the scan - it's all washed out. Oh well,
here it is anyway...

Lots of distractions - and I don't have any little kids! So this is pretty simple, but I did one in the time limit! And now I realize it looks like a case of your example, Marie - by the time I decided what to do I had not thought about yours.
