Challenge Title: Always Winter
Hostess: Brenda K. (tessaduck)
Keyword: DEC18VSNJ
Date: Saturday, December 15, 4:00 PM EST

C. S. Lewis is one of my favorite authors. I especially love “The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe”, which is one of his Narnia books, written for children. I read it to my fourth graders each year, when I was teaching.

When the children’s adventures began in Narnia, the cruel White Witch had cast a spell over the land, forcing a perpetual winter. Always winter, but never Christmas. So sad!

I’m asking you to create a winter themed card or project.


View the gallery for this challenge: HERE
View the Holiday Stories gallery: HERE
View the Holiday Stories Challenge Thread: HERE

1. ALL VSN CREATIONS MUST BE UPLOADED BY 11 P. M. EST ON Monday, December 24.
2. You have 1 hour to complete the challenge, unless otherwise noted.....you do not have to count prep time!
3. We have a special gallery for the Holiday Stories VSN.
a) From the "Main Gallery" dropdown list on the first page of the uploader, choose Events and Special Collections.
b) From the Sub-gallery dropdown list, choose Virtual Stamping and Scrapbooking Nights ~ it's the last in the list.
c) From the new sub-gallery dropdown list choose Holiday Stories- it's the very top of the list.
4. Please remember to put in the correct keyword when uploading your image. Copying and pasting the challenge keyword is recommended to avoid typos.
5. Please do not combine VSN challenges...but you may combine any other challenges with a VSN challenge!

It is also highly recommended that you post a link to your creation in this chat thread to be sure your layout is seen. THANKS SO MUCH FOR PLAYING ALONG!!!

Thanks for the "winter" challenge Brenda. It gave me the opportunity to use my snow globe die cut again! Here's my card, "Deer Snow Globe"

Brenda, this DP even says "Winter Wonderland" and "I love winter" on it... seemed fitting for your theme.
