Talking Beach Party Release Week Challenges!

It's time for another Verve-tastic release!

We'll, be releasing five new stamp sets at our release party {this Friday night, April 23 @ 9PM Eastern}
and we're so excited to share the new designs with you! The Verve Diva sneak peeks start Tuesday morning on the {Verve Blog}, so be sure to tune in!

In the meantime, I thought we'd have a little fun and throw a few challenges your way this week. Are you on board? Well, lets' get started!!!


The rules:
  • Make 5 new cards with the provided challenges
  • Upload to your SCS gallery with the proper keyword
  • Post all 5 of your links in the Beach Party Champions thread by the deadline
  • Verve Stamps are NOT required, but we love to see 'em.
  • Feel free to substitute shapes, the sketches are just an idea starter.
  • Have fun!!!!
Deadline: The deadline for prize drawings will be 6:00 PM Eastern time on Friday, April 23.

Prizes: One participant from each challenge will win a $25 gift certificate to the Verve store.
One Grand Prize winner (who participates in each challenge and post their links to the Beach Party Champions thread) will receive our entire new release!

I've made a printable pdf of all five challenges. Just right click the link below and save the PDF to your hard drive. I'll also add it as an attachment in case that works better for you.

Beach Party Release Week Challenges Download (PDF)

Winners will be announced during our Release Party on Friday, April 23.

I've had a great time looking at the early samples in the galleries, and I've been sketching out possible cards and stamps that I can use for each of the sketches. Thanks for some FUN sketches and themes, Julee! I can't wait to get home and stamp!!

I'm sure if Verve had a staff meeting it would be the best one ever!!! Could you imagine? I see lattes and ginger molasses cookies and lemon "anything." No politics, just FUN!! LOL

Yahoo- I was able to do all of them: I had to focus on graduation cards but hey, it worked! I posted them all in the champion thread but didn't see an individual for each of them so ..... did I miss it?
