MAY09MINIVSN2 ~ Sat. April 25th ~ 11:00am EDT ~ Gold, Gold and more Gold
Title: Gold, Gold and More Gold
Hostess: Alica (alicaz)
Keyword: MAY09MINIVSN2
Date: April 25
Time: 11am EDT
I never been to Vegas, but when you say Vegas I see casinos. You need money to play or in olden days you had to have gold and lots of it. So casinos equal money and money equals
GOLD .
My challenge for you is to use Gold on your creation. Emboss with gold, use gold paper, pens, ribbons, charms, your old gold jewellery - be creative. The more gold the better - we are in Vegas!! :cool:
UPLOADING INSTRUCTIONS:
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 10:00 PM EDT ON MONDAY, April 27.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword (MAY09MINIVSN2) 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.

So, my hubby worked last Sat then Mon-Fri. He went into work this morning because he normally works on Saturday and just found out that he's not scheduled to work today so he's coming home.

Alica - great challenge and I LOVE your sample cards - just gorgeous.
I love embossing, so couldn't resist the challenge when it presented itself. Here's my sample card:
Gold Jackpot
TFL and thanks so much for the awesome challenge.
