Hi everyone! It's Jackie here and I'm so excited to be hosting this month's Get Your Diva On Challenge! Before I get to this month's challenge let me give you some specifics:
Each month a different Diva will "host" a week long challenge. The challenge itself is up to the Diva hostessing, so you never know what it's going to be! Isn't that kind of exciting?!! The Get Your Diva On Challenge will start on the 2nd Monday of every month. Participants will have until the following Sunday night (August 14th) at 9 pm Mountain to enter. The winner will be announced Tuesday, August 16th. We'd LOVE to see you use your Verve stamps, but if you don't have any, we'd still love to see your creations!!
The winner of the challenge (chosen by Julee) will get to be a Guest Diva in an upcoming release AND will receive all of the stamps/dies for that release for free! They will also get to play along with the Divas during the pre-release Spotlights as well as at the Release Party!! How's THAT for exciting?!!
August 2011 Challenge: Tag You're It! Incorporate a tag on your card or project OR make a set of tags! Tags are a great way to add a little something extra to your card and they are a GREAT way to decorate a simple package or gift bag! Don't have a tag die? No worries.....you can simply cut a rectangle, maybe round the corners if you feel inclined, punch a hole in the top and decorate! We want everyone to play!!!
If you're new to the gallery, here's a little info on how to add your card to our gallery: If you haven't uploaded your cards yet, just click the Upload a Card link in the left sidebar. Keep the default category as Member Galleries. Then follow the form to browse to the photo of your card on your computer, enter a title and description then click upload/submit. On the next screen it asks you for the ingredients of the card and also has a Keyword section. In this section type the keyword for this month's challenges... GYDOAug2011. When you're done filling things out, click process. It takes a few minutes to show up in our challenge gallery but as long as you've got the correct keyword, your photo will eventually appear in the GYDOAug2011 Gallery.
If you've already uploaded your card, you can edit the keywords by going to the photo in your gallery. In the bottom right corner under the information below the picture, there is an Edit Photo button. Click this, then in the Edit keywords section add the GYDOAug2011 keyword and then click process. These changes take about 10 minutes or so to appear, but then your card should appear in our challenge gallery.
Please make sure you use the keyword GYDOAug2011 when uploading so we can find your creations in one place.

There are some beautiful submissions so far!! I had a bit of time this morning and needed a card for my son (who helped us stain the deck last weekend without complaint!) so I used this challenge to get me started!
Well I totally got into this tag challenge after seeing the wonderful tag things for this latest release, can't wait for my stuff to turn up.... in the mean time I made this card with these tags.... thanks for the motivation!
