July Bingo

[Games]

Hi Everyone! This months Bingo is a POWER BINGO!... GO!!!!

1. You will choose 15 words from the list of 31 below.

2. You will send an email to VDBCBingo@gmail.com with your list of words. Also, PLEASE INCLUDE YOUR FORUM NAME in the subject line. DEADLINE IS JULY 16th at 12:00am (midnight) EST. First word will be called on JULY 17th. So don't wait, get your list in today!
3. You will need to check back to this original post in this thread, and see if one of your words are called! All words called will be updated in the next post, SO, it will be up to you to come back here and check! You never know when I might call a word. So you will need to be on your toes and check in frequently!

4. Once all 15 of your words are called, post on this thread. The first to post, calling BINGO, will win! (I will verify the winner with your selected words that you emailed! There can be no tie, because the winner will be determined by the FIRST PERSON to post on this thread calling BINGO!)
That's it! This is one of those "must be present to win" games... you have to call Bingo yourself in order to win, so it's up to you to keep checking!

5. After Bingo is called, we will pick a "Biggest Bingo Loser". Here's how it works...I'll take the first 3 posts stating the number of words needed and the one with the most uncalled words from that group will be our winner. I will also verify this.

Best of luck everyone!

So, keep an eye out for your file, email to you using your sign up email. Let me know if you don't see it.

[rsmobley85]

Thank you! Ginger

[ewoobenjamin]

Thanks for the great file Sharon!

[bzyPTmom28]

Thanks for the great file Sharon! Let the games begin!

[skbelanger]

Thanks for the file Sharon, but wish you had added at "The Hilton" lol I'm so not a camper unless there are no bugs and lots of Air Conditioning!
And...as usual no words for me yet :( I refuse to be the biggest loser again!!

[paminsd]

Thanks for the free file Sharon. Awe darn it, those first two words are boring.. Now KABOOM is exciting! :D
Pam in SD

[Games]

True! ;) :D

[MamawAnn]

Your file is just adorable. Thank you so much. I have one word so far so that may be the only file I get LOL Good luck everyone!!!

[rsmobley85]

You all are so welcome for the free file. I love camping. But we have a pop up. with super cold AC, Cable TV, Microwave, Carpet. Screen room. We call it Chesapeake manor because it feels like home. LOL!

Sharon

[rpcrafter]

That sounds like one fancy pop-up! We have a pop-up too, but NONE of those ameneties. It just gets us up off the ground and a more solid roof when it rains. A/C is not needed in my neck of the woods, but the heater is sure handy! :)

Renae
rpcrafter

P.S. Also thanks for the file from me too. It looks just like our pop-up.

[rsmobley85]

Ha, I have to say, Our pop up is vintage, its an 85 Coleman chesapeake, but I have done a total restoration on it, so Yep. It has a lot of mods and more to come.

If im going camping, I want it to be comfortable. LOL!

Sharon

[rpcrafter]

Not doing to hot, 3 for 9. But it sure is hot, Hot, HOT outside.

Off to a family BBQ and 1st Bday party.

Good luck to you all today.

Renae
rpcrafter

[Games]

Sure is hot here! I think we need to send some heat to Caz. It is winter for her. ;)


How is everyone doing? Anyone have any photos or pages to share? I know it is a busy time but if you have something new to share please post. Maybe I can give you a prize? :cool: I have some files! I'll give one to the first 3 to post something new!

[ewoobenjamin]

Well, I only have 3 words so maybe I can get a file by posting a card ;)

This is a birthday card I made recently. Stamp and Cherry Blossoms background paper are from Fred She Said. The stamp was colored with Copics and then crimped and inked (paper lantern technique). The other background papers were Cuttlebugged.

[puffinliz]

Here is a picture of me on my 57th bd in Austin TX at Serrano's Mexican Restaurant, we were visiting family.

[MamawAnn]

[ewoobenjamin]

Anna, your GD is such a sweetheart! Thanks for sharing the photo.

Love your tri-shutter card - such pretty papers.

Here is a link (http://stampspaperscissors.typepad.com/stamps_paper_scissors/2008/05/tool-time---pap.html) to an explanation of the paper lantern technique. Someone else on this forum (sorry, I can't remember who) introduced me to this technique a few months ago and I just had to try it.

[MamawAnn]

Thanks Esther...for about Elayna my card and for the link. I've not used my paper crimper in years so now I just may have to drag it out and play :D

[bzyPTmom28]

Happy Harvesting Pam! Did you say wheat?!!!! I know, just 'cause I CAN'T have any--glad others can. It's dang hot here--walking ouside is like going in a sauna with your clothes on! I'm hoping you get a good crop and you can come visitin' us here in AZ once it cools off! Good lookin' BD photo--love Mexican food of course--and beautiful card and baby too! I can't believe how fast this game is going--I'll have to keep checking on it often.

[Games]

Great photo Pam. Are you guys still taking wheat off? Been done here for a while, some of them are still bailing straw. Our friend that hubby helps has been done since July 1st. He said it was really good too. Hope your's was the same.;)

[MamawAnn]

If I am counting right I need 5 more words. Good Luck everyone!!!

[paminsd]

Yes, we'll be harvesting for a couple weeks, we're about half way done with the winter wheat and still have the spring wheat, it should be ready next week.
I've got 7/18 words so far.
Pam in SD

[Games]

My hubby reminded me we mostly have winter wheat here. I forgot. Sound great Pam. Love the photos and past lo you made.


Sounds like some of you are ready to go, counting and checking in. ;)

Good luck everyone. Getting close.

Your welcome everyone!! I want to thank Ginger for hosting this month I really appreciate it!!! I know we all do.

Enjoy!
Chris

[skbelanger]

OMG-I just got to see all the files I won. Thank you-all of you who offered these. Chris, as always, I am esp. looking forward to using the jumbles, but all of the files will get used cutting on my knk for the dgc's pics. And Ginger, who can't use firework files (if you live in the USA-like me)? Love the fireworks and scrapping them afterwards! Sharon-I'm going to use these camping ones also-if only to do those old pics of me leading GS troops on weekend camping trips. And the Digi files-I'm not very good at digi yet-but it is a goal of mine to learn this program, in fact, I just got a new program this week to learn it so these will come in handy. I hope I didn't miss thanking anyone.
And again, thank you Ginger for hosting and Chris for supplying this forum. I love playing but it sure was fun to win! It's great to know such giving scrappers!
