Post **Viva la Verve! December Week 1 {12/3/10}**

Welcome to a new month of Viva la Verve Challenges!!! This month we are giving our AWESOME Viva la Verve hostess, Amber, some time off!! Do not fret, Amber will be back to kick off a new year of challenges in January!!

We are going to do the challenges this month a little different. Instead of an inspiration picture, we have a theme! This month's theme is Ornaments & Winter Decor. Find inspiration from ornaments, wreaths, trees or any of the fabulously pretty things that are decking the halls this time of year! We will also have a new Diva as hostess each week! I am SO excited to be your hostess this week and hope that you will play along!

**The Deets**
Complete all the challenges for a chance to win our next release. Verve stamps are not required, but we love to see' em if you've got 'em!

For December, there will be 4 sketch challenges! All 4 sketch challenges MUST be uploaded to the SCS gallery with keyword VLVDec2010 by midnight on December 30th. On the last week of the month, we'll post a Sketch Challenge Champions thread for you to link all of your projects. One lucky participant who has linked their cards on the champions thread will win our January release! The winner will be announced on December 31st. Have fun!
Our keywords for December will be Verve (if using Verve stamps) and VLVDec2010. The keywords will remain the same ALL MONTH, please make sure to add the keyword correctly or your cards won't show up in the gallery!



In case you didn't know, today we have a new Verve release blog hop going on! Start at Julee's blog!! My sample for you today is using two of the BRAND NEW sets called Text Objects and Wordy Birds. Oh my gosh, you are going to LOVE these new stamps!!!

I can't wait to see your creations so what are you waiting for....Christmas??!! LOL!!! Have a great day!!!

Congrats on handling the Verve challenge this week Lynda! Cool sketch, such anice way to start off December too: Ornaments - that's easy with Verve's Holly Jolly and Ornamental Christmas! Maybe I'll actually be able to play this month...

Here's my take on this week's sketch and the challenge

Season of Joy

The image is from PaperWorksCo and features a cute little one hanging stockings for Christmas on a beautifully decorated mantle.

I made a mini scene with one of the Bella Trees stamps from Unity and the smaller of Verve's Harvest Birds here.

And if you're going to let that much of the paper show through, it has to be great paper, so of course I used October Afternoon!
