See how Angie flocked these stamp images here.

Today's Challenge Questions:

HINT: It will be helpful to use what we have learned regarding the two ways of searching the SNS on-line store:

(1 entry)   1. Sparkle N Soft is a special blend of Flocking and products, created by the product support gals in the office. SNS customers seem to prefer these blends over  regular Flocking. How many colors of Sparkle N Soft are there?

(1 entry)  2. Many of SNS's Flocking colors were created to match Distress Inks. These are especially effective when using Tear-ific Tape or Super Adhesive Sheets and then burnishing the Flocking (or SS) into the tape. Brush off the excess and run through an embossing folder - the result is a velvety-fuzzy, textured background panel. How many colors of Flocking are there?

(1 entry)  3. How many tutorials are in the SNS Tips and Techniques Page for Flocking and Sparkle N Soft?

(1 entry)  4. According to the T and T page, is it possible to color (or shade) Flocking?

(5 entries) 5. According to the T and T page, what is "Punched Flocking"? (briefly in your own words- that means no copy and paste - LOL)

Brrr! We are such wimps in Florida. 
As I write this, it the mercury has dropped from 61 to 49 in the past 2 hours
and it is only 6:30AM!
Alas, we can deal with cool temperatures, but without our beloved sunshine, Florida is just not the same.
Enough whining! Hopefully you are staying snug and warm, and not entertaining nasty little germies which cause flu or colds.

This set is currently on special if you say "Bingo Player wants this set
for $18.49" in the COMMENT BOX as you check out in the on-line store.
Or mention it to be added to your February kit to save on shipping.
It is currently $24.49.
It embosses beautifully, and works with every coloring medium. Details here.

Today's words are:

30  Irish Sparkle

195 Halloween

44 Bunnies
130 Turnip

Cammy's Card directions are here.

Today's Challenge Questions:

When visiting the SNS On-Line Store, there is a search engine in the left column. 
It works best if:
 the exact wording is used for a product 
OR 
if the product item # is used 
OR
 if only a single word is entered 
(the last one is my favorite way of using it).

Another way to "search" is to use the Categories in the top left column, which include Stamps, Embossing Powders, Glitter, Flocking, Accessories, Bargain Bin. When you click on those categories, all the sub-categories show up, with the Main Categories falling to the bottom of that column.

Details for April's card are here

1. (for 1 entry)  Why is the word "Turnip" in the Bingo List? 
2. (for 1 entry)  How many sub categories are in the Accessories Section? 
3. (for 1 entry)  Margaret is trying to bring in products which are not readily available in the Big Box Stores. We recently added Memory Box dies to our store. Is this a brand you enjoy?
4. (for 1 entry)  Do you have a die cutting machine?
5. (for 1 entry)  Do you use die cuts in your paper crafting?
6. (for 5 entries)  What is the 8th item (sub-section) in the Accessories Section? Have you used this product?

Today we need your help with developing new stamp sets. So the questions are very easy. Your honesty is of the utmost importance, and does not reflect on whether you win. You'll receive an entry for every answered question.

You can say "yes", "no", "does not apply",  "Way-too-Ugly for my taste", "I have never learned how to use that", etc. LOL

1. Do you ever shop in the bargain bin?
2. Have you purchased any of Sparkle N Sprinkle's "Zendoodle" stamp sets?
3. Do you like cute images which are cartoony in their appearance?
4. Do you like cute images which are sweet in their appearance?
5. Do you prefer images which already have some detail in the areas that need to be "shaded" when colored?
6. Are you a copic marker person?
7. Are reinkers something you use in your artwork?
8. Are colored pencils something you enjoy using?
9. Do water color pencils find a place in your paper crafting?
10. Do you enjoy any of the "sprays" for creating special effects?
11. Do you enjoy using stencils and stencil paste to create dimension on your cards?
12. SNS has begun having "Reveals" on the first of each month. Do these help you see what can be done with the stamp set in the Technique Video Kit?
13. SNS "Reveals" usually contain more than one stamp set. Do you like that all the stamps are released at one time to help defray shipping expenses?
14. Do you enjoy elegant images if they can be easily colored?
15. Do you prefer regular markers (like Tombow, Stampin' Up!, Marvy, Tim Holtz).

Yikes! Fifteen entries JUST for speaking your mind - Your thoughts and opinions are very important to us.
