Default **Viva la Verve! July Week 1 {7/2/10}**

Hiya ladies! Welcome to a new round of Viva la Verve!!!

Every month this year we'll walk through a different room and every week I'll bring you some inspiration pictures of different rooms. You can use these inspiration pictures in any way you want--a color combo, a texture, a style, anything your heart desires! There will also of course be a sketch, the backbone of our challenges! So using the weekly sketches, you'll create an inspired card based on one of the photos provided. I'll also allow your own room to be your inspiration! Of course the only stipulation to this is that you must use the room we're walking-through for that month. 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 July, we are walking through bathrooms and there will be 4 sketch challenges! All 4 sketch challenges MUST be uploaded to the SCS gallery by midnight on July 29th. The last week of the month, I will post a Sketch Challenge Champions thread for you to link all of your projects. One lucky participant will win our next month's entire release. The winner will be announced on July 30th. Have fun!

Keywords this month are going to be Verve (if using Verve stamps) and VLVJuly2010 (make sure to spell the keyword out right so it will show up in the gallery.

My Sample
VLVJuly2010 Gallery

HOpe you enjoy the challenges this month! Can't wait to see your MAGIC!!

Decided to get onto this one quickly. I think the month will get busier from the way things look so I have made a long list of cards I need to make and this sketch helped me with one of them. It is actually made for a friend moving into her new home

Great sketch and inspiration rooms to choose from, Amber! I tried to go a little masculine with this one, but couldn't resist the bling

Keep an open mind on this one. I usually follow a sketch to the T, but
this time I used a wee bit of artistic license. here's my card: don't be shy tell me if it fits...lol
