Ok, for anyone else who might have this issue and is looking for an answer...
I found that when you place any object on the MDI Parent form, it display on top of any child forms you create. So, placing a BlendPanel from the VBPowerPack and having it docked to full window would end up hiding any child windows you create. This is apparently intentional by microsoft (Which I think personally, is kinda of silly).
I ended up drawing my blend affect directly on the form itself rather then using the BlendPanel object.
