AUG11VSND~Fri, Aug 26~8:00 PM EST ~ God Bless Texas
Title: God Bless Texas
Hostess: Lydia Fiedler
Keyword: AUG11VSND
Day/Date: Friday, August 26
Time: 8:00pm EST
Things aren't just bigger in Texas, they're a little sassy, a little free-spirited, and a little rebellious. So it just makes sense that this Texan is going to break some rules in the Great Republic tonight and get creative, Lone Star style!
As author Mary Lasswell said: "I am forced to conclude that God made Texas on his day off, for pure entertainment, just to prove that all that diversity could be crammed into one section of earth by a really top hand"
So my challenge tonight is as diverse as my Great Republic of Texas is. If you want it to be a sketch challenge, so be it. If you want it to be an inspiration challenge, so be it. Whatever this flag says to you, I want you to put it on your project!
I can't wait to see what you create! To get you warmed up, I have a little song for you to listen to while you stamp. And a mighty fine looking Texan for you to look at, I might add...
1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 8:00 PM EST ON Monday, August 29th.
2. You have 45 minutes to complete the challenge.
3. Please remember to put in the correct keyword, AUG11VSND, 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 this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen.
'Cause God blessed Texas with His own hand
Brought down angels from the promised land
Gave 'em a place where they could dance
If you wanna see heaven brother here's your chance
I've been sent to spread the message
God blessed Texas

Better late than never...got distracted by stuff like, oh, feeding the dog, feeding the family, answering the phone (twice)...little things like that! :rolleyes:
Anyway, here it is...if I had time to do it over, I think I would mess around with the colors so there wasn't as much contrast, but it is what it is.
Crappy with a capital C! Winds and rain are picking up and I can hear the gusts. Haven't lost power or cable (I have cable internet) so that's good. Hurricanes are nerve wracking enough but when they come at night and last hours it's very very nerve wracking. I couldn't listen to anymore news updates so I put Little House on the Prairie (my fav) on the TV.

Sorry to hear how stressful it is! I'm glad you sought a fav for comfort!
Okay now you KNOW I gotta play in this challenge, girlie. But......... ya gotta send the cleaning fairy over here first. LOL I have literally NO horizontal surfaces in this studio to stamp on. Plus today is hubby's big birthday and I took him out for supper, a little shopping, and now he's settled in watching football. Gotta spoil him on his big day, right?

I just have not been able to get more cards done - today was moving day for us in the RV and too many other details to deal with...
However, I decided to comment (challenge A) and realized that they are doubled! This happened the other day as well.
