Default **Viva la Verve! June Week 2 {6/5/09}**

Time for the new sketch! I hope you enjoy it this week, I've made this weeks {twist} SOOOOO easy! So hopefully no one faints this week, lol!

For VLV Newbies, here are the deets! Every Friday I'll post a new sketch with a {twist}. The {Twist} is an extra requirement for your sketch card! Could be an inspiration challenge, a color challenge, a limited supplies challenge, who knows! There is no solid deadline for each sketch, but they DO need to be uploaded to the VLV Gallery by the last week of the month! For June, all four sketches must be uploaded by MIDNIGHT CST on 25 June! I'll announce the winner on 26 June and the winner recieves the next months FULL STAMP RELEASE!! Sound worth playing for?

This week's {twist} is a NEW twist! Know what that means? The only requirement is that you use something NEW! Maybe you just bought it today, maybe you've had it for a month but haven't used it yet! Break it out, don't hoard it!
Have fun and make sure to check out the gallery and leave lots of love, we all love it
Verve stamps are not required to play, use what you have!

Keywords this week are Verve (if you use Verve stamps) and VLVJun02.

Thank you, thank you, thank you Amber!!! Loving the twist and the sketch this week. My "one creative gene" has just been released from rehab after last week's brain burner which caused it multiple emotional and stressful traumatic situations LOL. Off to play.

This is my very first Viva la Verve challenge. I love this sketch - and I definitely had a few too many 'new' products needing some attention!

Here's my card!

This was such a great sketch! I used new K&Co dp and some of my new Verve stamps (some I'd used and some I hadn't) to make a card for my DH for our anniversary.
