Viva la Verve {1/1/10}-At Home with Verve
3 Attachment(s)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!! Hard to believe it's January, it just doesn't feel like it, does it? I still have my tree up (it's coming down tomorrow but not without much sadness from me, I love my tree!) I'm glad for the new year though, everything is brand new with a fresh start!
Speaking of FRESH starts, ready for a revamped Viva la Verve challenge? This year, we're going with a theme we're calling "At home with Verve: A year long home walk-through" What does that mean? Well, we thought it would be fun to have our sketch challenges this year accompanied by inspiration you find around your own home! I'm constantly seeing things in my house that give me a color combo or maybe even a layout idea! 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 I provide. 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. For January, we're going to walk through Foyers and Entryways-the first room you enter when coming into your home! My house doesn't really have one though, so I guess I'm the odd one out, lol! Gotta love base housing! The grand prize and upload requirements are the same as last year! Have all sketches uploaded to the appropriate galleries by midnight on the last Thursday of the month and I'll choose a random winner (has to have participated in each weekly sketch challenge) to receive the next months FULL STAMP RELEASE from Verve! Isn't Julee wonderful to give this awesome prize away? Love it! For January, all sketch cards are due to be uploaded by midnight on 28 January and I'll announce the winner on 29 January! The winner will receive the next months stamp realease as well as being the Sample Diva for February! I've attached the three inspiration pictures and the sketch, so have at it! If you have ANY questions at all, please let me know! I had to write quite a bit of stuff so I may have missed something... Keywords this week are Verve (if you're using Verve stamps) and VLVJan{10}01 <--make sure to enter the keyword exactly like this so your card ends up in the right gallery! Copy and paste it if that makes it easier;) http://vervestamps.com/VLV/VLVJan{10}01.jpg Lori's Awesome Sample My sample VLVJan{10}01 Gallery Photo credits: *coming soon* 1) Sunflower Foyer 2) Spiral Staircase 3) Modern Floral |

Happy NEW Year!!!!! Blessings to All!
This is a wonderful sketch, Amber! LOVE this new challenge direction, too! LOVE home decor! Great inspiration pics and gorgeous samples! Hope to play after work! |
looking forward to this Amber, wonderful idea! *~*
|
Happy New Year! What a fun new direction you're going in with these sketch and inspiration challenges. Ooooohhhhhhhhhh, can't wait to play!
|
Yay! Sounds like a fun theme for the year, Amber! Here's my WINTER TREES card...inspired by my foyer hall tree that is bulging with winter coats! :-)
|
This looks fun!
|
Had so much fun with this! Love the theme for the year! Can't wait for more!
Here is my card...Wishing You...inspired by the frame in the shabby chic foyer picture you provided! |
Great idea, Amber!! I have only done one inspiration challenge in my life so this will be a great place to practice doing some more LOL! At least I don't have to have a big piece of paper next to me when I'm creating so I don't forget the twist LOL! Looking forward to playing hopefully sooner than later as I miss stamping!

I can't seem to be able to get the advanced part of this to work for me, so here's just the quick link for me:

What an amazing idea for the new year of VLV! I love it! And those inspiration pictures are amazing. LOVE the one with sunflowers.... Time to go stamp!

I love it when I have the perfect dp to accompany a challenge! I'm looking forward to another great year! Thanks a ton, Amber! Here's my card-

Happy New Year!! I love the inspiration pics! Wow!! I can't wait to get inky tomorrow (taking the day off to be totally lazy! LOL!)
|
What great inspiration pictures! Here's my take:
http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=162682 I'm looking forward to another year of fab sketches and inspiration! |
I chose the third inspiration photo to select the colours for my two cards using this sketch.
a birthday card for my dad: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=149039 and an extra for my stash: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=149039 Thanks for the challenge! Sheena. |
How exciting! I need to put on my thinking cap. Thank you Amber :)

Wow this got the brain ticking over and started some frantic rummaging for a glass type circle to fit with what was buzzing round my head! No joy so resorted to some glimmer mists and shrink plastic! After all that this is my entrance way vase card

Hi there, I'm back this month and here is my card for the first week - sorry for the poor quality but we are having a lack of sunshine ;-)
|
I decided to go for the Black & White look for this one:
A Black and White Thanks I am looking forward to this year's fab sketches! Cindy :) |
It is fun to be back doing these challenges.
I hope I interpreted the challenge correctly. I found a bit of inspiration in each of the photos. I liked the burgundy, and the lovely staircase. By the time I finished, the DP I selected - for the stair step like grids - was mostly covered! I also selected an image much too large for the sketch - hope the adjustment is acceptable. If not I should have time to do another. Thanks for all the inspiration and challenges. http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...1239?nocache=1 |

It's perfect Dorothy:) Inspiration challenges are called inspiration challenges for just that reason! You see something and it inspires you to create something of your own:) There are NO wrong ways to do these challenges;)

Great set of pictures to chose from Amber. Here's my second inspiration challenge card ever. I'm going to be a pro by the end of this year LOL!
Thinking of You |
Just got back from a "trek" up north!! Not as north as a lot of you but, I have become comfortable with my Charlotte weather!! Hopefully will get to play this weekend. Amber, this is a great idea!! Have only done one other inspiration challenge ... I agree with Marissa, should be an expert by the end of the year!! {definitely underline "should"}

This is my first time participating - yeah! I forgot to follow the layout sketch - boo! Oh well, I'll try harder next time. I'm not totally sure about the rules for this kind of thing so I apologize if I'm messing anything else up! Here is the link to my card (I think):

Great sketch, I actually posted this for week two, but here it is for week one. Sorry,
hope this is right now. I chose #3 modern floral. thanks! http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...&ppuser=201202 |
I think that this is going to be a blast! Thanks Amber.
I chose the second staircase, although I laugh now that I go back and look at it again, it might not be turquoise but black. But I like the colors either way. Foyer Week 1 |
