Default **Viva la Verve! February 2011--Week 1 {1/28/11}**

Hello and welcome to a new month of FABULOUS Viva la Verve! sketches!
Ya'll have been KOLPO {For those of you who couldn't make our January release party, this stands for "knocking our lounge pants off"} so far this year and I have NO DOUBT that you are ready to tackle another month of fab sketches from our FAB Divas!!! I'm so thankful to have their help this year, I am always inspired when I see what my fellow Diva's come up with!

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. The winner will be announced on the next day and will win the ENTIRE next month's stamp release! How awesome is that?!

For February, we'll have FOUR sketches! All cards must be uploaded to the VLVFeb2011 gallery by midnight, CST on February 24th! Winner will be announced on February 25th! GOOD LUCK!

Keywords for the entire month will be VLVFeb2011 and Verve (if using Verve stamps)

lol, Amber, I can't believe you said "lounge pants!" teehee! Those were my best purchase of the season for sure, not only for their comfort and style, but for the laughs they've been giving us!

Andrea, I might have to pull a "Moe" too as this sketch is loaded with potential And I'll pull an "Andrea" with some fabulous vintage paper and pins

Love this week's sketch Amber and can I say again how much I love the new format. I'm worried though as my lounge pants are plain green sweats without a leopard spot in sight (well there are a couple of spots where the chocolate cookie crumbs got mashed in) but they do help me create stuff LOL!! I'm gonna go ponder this week's inspiration and see what I can come up with.

Ok, might be a silly question here but how do you upload your photo's into that gallery? I have looked at the drop down box several times and can't find the VLV catagory. Help!!
Or do I just put it in my gallery?

SR, you just add the "VLVFEB2011" and "Verve" in the box that says "keywords" when you upload your card. That will get your upload to the VLV gallery! It'll show up in YOUR gallery also! Does that make sense?

Hi everyone,
I love this sketch, and the submissions have been amazing. My question is this: is the monthly winner picked randomly or is the winner "selected" by one or more people? Thanks!

I personally do not like square cards so this is really going to be a challenge for me. Thanks for all the work you do for us. I will think on this and come up with something!
