Default **Viva la Verve! November Week 1 {10/29/10}**
Hello! You ladies ready for another month of challenges and a new shot at winning the next stamp release, in FULL??? Well lets get to it! If you're NEW to Viva la Verve, welcome!!!!! We're so excited you are here to play with us! Read "The Deets" below on how to jump in and join us, good luck!

**The Deets**
Each week I'll post a sketch for you to base your card on. For the month of November, I'll have some random inspiration photos as well! 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 November there will be 5 sketch challenges! All 5 sketch challenges MUST be uploaded to the SCS gallery by midnight on December 2nd. The winner will be announced on December 3rd. Have fun!

Our keywords for November will be Verve (if using Verve stamps) and VLVNov2010. 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!

This week, I found our inspiration photos at The Country Porch. They have the most beautiful table settings! Feel free to be inspired by anything on this website, but I chose three of my favorites in case you like a limited amount of options

Have fun!

Thanks So Much

What a great site for inspiration. I chose from a recurring theme of plaid that was through several christmas settings.

Merry Christmas.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks Amber. Enjoyed working with this one.
I mostly worked from the first inspiration photo, although I'm not the patchwork type. I think the flourish-y elegance of the second and third photos were influencing me, too. So I ended up with a slightly elegant (flourishes, pearls and border punch), slightly homey (papers and jute) card. LOL.

Thanks So Much Verve Style

I got my new stamp sets and then didn't even use them. I did however manage to use one of the new dies from Verve. Love them both!!!!!!
Here's my red and cream card from inspiration table top number one.
Amber, Hope you are in PA and having a great time visiting the DH's family!!!!
