Default **Viva La Verve! August 2011 Week 4 {8-19-11}**

Wow, is the summer just flying by! I can't believe we're here in Week 4 of the August Viva la Verve Challenges! I hope you'll find time to play along because I always love to see what you create!

Details:
Every Friday, a Diva will post a sketch for your enjoyment. Your cards, using the sketches, must be uploaded by the last Thursday of the month (check for the due date below!) The winner will be announced on the next day and will win the ENTIRE next Verve stamp release! How awesome is that?! Just a reminder, Verve stamps are NOT required but we love to see you use them. Feel free to flip, rotate, resize, or otherwise alter the sketch as long as we can tell you USED the sketch!



For August, we'll have FIVE sketches! All five cards must be uploaded to the VLVAug2011 gallery by midnight, CST on Thursday, September 1st to be eligible to win this month's prize! Winner will be announced on September 2nd! GOOD LUCK!


Keywords for the entire month will be VLVAug2011 and Verve (if using Verve stamps).


VLVAug2011 Gallery


**Some Upload Information**
If you're new to the gallery, here's a little info on how to add your cards 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... VLVAug2011. 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 theVLVAug2011 Gallery

If you've already uploaded your cards, 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 VLVAug2011 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.


Here are some gorgeous samples from Divas Andrea, Dawn and Teresa! (Thanks girls for creating these beautiful cards!) And a card from me. Can't wait to see what you create!

I have to say, my new Verve came today.... I thought the floral circles would work with a bunch of those flowers {happy sigh}!! Only problem is I think I'm going to have to stare and dream... oh, life can be so "unfair" sometimes!! Do I sound like the kids when they don't get what they want??

Thank you! I seem to use a lot of the Verve sketches for sympathy cards - I think they give me a feeling of class that I like for them.

Eeek! I love this sketch!! I am SO behind on my VLV challenges this month...spent last week preparing for camp and this week AT camp. I'll just have a few days when I get back to try and squeeze them in.

In the meantime, WONDERFUL samples divas! I love every one. Thank you for generously sharing your incredible talent with us and giving me inspiration. You are a blessing!
