Default **Viva La Verve! January Week 2 {1/13/12}**

Hello Verve lovelies! It's Andrea here welcoming you to this week's Viva La Verve sketch! This is a special week as it's release time and tonight is the Release party...Woo Hoo! Are you ready to get your game on? First, let's revisit the rules, just as a refresher:


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 a $100 gift certificate to VERVE! 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 January, we'll have FOUR sketches! All FOUR cards must be uploaded to the VLVJan2012 gallery by midnight, CST on Thursday, February 2nd to be eligible to win this month's prize! Winner will be announced on February 3rd! GOOD LUCK!

Keywords for the entire month will be VLVJan2012 and Verve (if using Verve stamps).

VLV January 2012 Gallery
__________________________________________________ _______

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... VLVJan2012. 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 VLVJan2012 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 VLVJan2012 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's our sketch for this week!
(My sketch is strikingly similar to Amber's, I think I viewed hers too closely to the time I made mine...sorry Amber!)


Here are some lovely samples from Sony, Maureen and one from myself:

I made a baby card with today's sketch, but I had a tough time getting a decent picture of it because of the colors I chose. Thanks for the sketch!

Hi - I combined your sketch with TLC359 (TLC342) on Splitcoast - so instead of a layer I have a hole - a lovely ornament shaped hole but a hole none the less. I hope you like my creation which can be found here on my blog and will be on my SCS gallery soon. Thanks for the challenge and for looking.

Used my other new purchase for this one, Text Objects. So love the coordinating background text and sentiments.

Here is my take on Week #2. I'm kinda stuck on just using Verve Sentiments lately. Sorry about that. Don't mean to be boring.

One Day at a Time

Thanks for the awesome sketch!
