T Stands For VSN Totally Done!

Psalms 37:4-5 "Delight thyself also in the Lord; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.  Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass."

I am late because with the TSFT post because I wanted to finish my VSN cards so I could take a photo of all of them and post.  For those that don't know VSN is Virtual Stamp Night, but it isn't just one night. It takes place on the SplitcoastStampers  website, and we  had 3 challenges for the mini in March and this past week-end we had 17 challenges.  Our theme Was From Here to There, and the challenges were very inspiring.  I was one of the hostesses and my challenge was:

For our From Here to There VSN  , I think we should take a romantic cruise! And our challenge will be to make an anniversary, wedding, Valentine or just an I love you card. But then you must include items on the card that begin with the letters

S H I P.
Example:
S. Sahara Sand, sea, sand
H. Hearts
I. Iris
P. Postage stamp

The gallery turned out wonderful with the cards this challenge inspired.  So, I had a fun week-end crafting and stamping and cruising the galleries and admiring wonderful inspiring cards!

Here is the photo of all my finished cards.  I now have birthday, Thinking of you, graduation, Valentine, and even Christmas cards in my stash!  If you look closely, you will see at least 2 cards with teacups and teapots on them.  Do you see them?

And below are some of my favorites:
This card was the sample I made for my challenge:

S. Spellbinders circle die
H happy birthday
I. I love you
P. Polka dot EF
My romantic birthday card for my DH.

For my husband's upcoming birthday.

One challenge was to make a pinwheel!

I always like VSN because I learn new techniques!  Below we were challenged to do a

Coffee Filter Technique:  You  drop different color  re-inker drops in a plate, then you put the coffee filter in it, and swoosh it around.  Then you wad the coffee filter up.  Then un wad and cut down and use some how on a card.

coffee filter after doing the process.  I heat dried with heat gun before cutting down. 

And I cut a square and glued it around a square piece of cardstock then mounted whole thing on a white base.  I added gold die cuts.  Done!    Great technique for a different background;.  or you art journalists could use this technique!

That is just some of the challenges.  I thought you might be interested in them.  SplitcoastStampers always has a lot of inspiration and challenges.  

Thank you everyone for the Happy Blogoversary wishes on my last post!  I really appreciate it.

Thanks for stopping by!  Go on over to Bleubeard's & Elizabeth's to see the rest of the tea gang and how they celebrate TSFT!

Happy Tea Day!
