Talking April 2009 Release Week Challenges!

Are you ready for another Verve-tastic release?

Well, our next release is just around the corner {this Friday night, April 17 @ 9PM Eastern}
and we're so excited to share the new designs with you! The Verve Diva sneak peeks start tomorrow morning on the {Verve Blog}, so be sure to tune in!

In the meantime, we thought we'd have a little fun and host a few challenges for you this week. Sound like fun? Well, lets' get started!!!

How to enter: Upload your project with the challenge keyword to your SCS gallery. Verve Stamps are not required.

Deadline: The deadline for prize drawings will be 8:00 PM Eastern time on Friday, April 17.

Prizes: One participant from each challenge will win a $30 gift certificate to Verve Stamps. Two Grand Prize winners (who participate in each challenge and post their links to the Verve Release Week Champion Thread) will receive our new release bundle {$54 value}

To be eligible for the grand prize, you must make four new cards (please make a separate card for the color challenge). If you don't have a certain shape or color feel free to substitute. The important thing is that you have fun stamping!

I've made a printable pdf of all four challenges. Just right click the link below and save the PDF to your hard drive. I'll also add it as an attachment in case that works better for you.

April 2009 Release Week Challenges Download (PDF)

Winners will be announced during our Release Party on Friday, April 17.

Have FUN!!!

Just a reminder that to be eligible for the grand prize your links need to be posted in the Verve Release Week Champion Thread.
Otherwise my sleep-deprived brain can't figure it all out!

Ohhh it's that time again!
Gonna be tight on time - so this is a Verve addict's challenge for sure - if you want it, you'll do it - LOL
I don't do SU! colors - I use PTI...so I'm thinking Spring Rain, Lemon Tart and then I guess Kraft for the light brown will work, I hope?
See y'all FR night!

Yuck! I saved the file attached to post #1 on my desktop, then opened it and it worked great. Do you have Adobe Reader installed?

Sure, you can link them here. It's not required, but it's fun to take a peek at the links.

Bummer! Did you try opening it first instead of saving it? Or saving it first instead of trying to open it? Sometimes one or the other works better. There's a link within in the message and also the attachment link, so you might try it again the opposite way of how you tried the first time.
