Default Viva la Verve! April Week 1 {3/30/12}

Hello there lovelies! Who's ready for a new sketch??

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 (check for the due date below!) The winner will be announced on the next day and will win a $100 gift certificate to VERVE! How awesome is that?! Just a reminder, Verve stamps are NOT required but we love to see you use them. Feel free to flip, rotate, resize, or otherwise alter the sketch as long as we can tell you USED the sketch!


For April, we'll have FOUR sketches! All FOUR cards must be uploaded to the VLVApr2012 gallery by midnight, CST on Thursday, April 26th to be eligible to win this month's prize! Winner will be announced on April 27th! GOOD LUCK!

Keywords for the entire month will be VLVApr2012 and Verve (if using Verve stamps).

VLV April 2012 Gallery
__________________________________________________ ________

If you're new to the gallery, here's a little info on how to add your cards to our gallery:

If you haven't uploaded your cards yet, just click the Upload a Card link in the left sidebar. Keep the default category as Member Galleries. Then follow the form to browse to the photo of your card on your computer, enter a title and description then click upload/submit. On the next screen it asks you for the ingredients of the card and also has a Keyword section. In this section type the keyword for this month's challenges... VLVApr2012. When you're done filling things out, click process. It takes a few minutes to show up in our challenge gallery but as long as you've got the correct keyword, your photo will eventually appear in the VLVApr2012 Gallery

If you've already uploaded your cards, you can edit the keywords by going to the photo in your gallery. In the bottom right corner under the information below the picture, there is an Edit Photo button. Click this, then in the Edit keywords section add the VLVApr2012 keyword and then click process. These changes take about 10 minutes or so to appear, but then your card should appear in our challenge gallery.



The sketch is attached below along with a ton of inspiration from the amazing team! Thanks so much to Charmaine, Moe, Tosh, Andrea, and Teresa for helping me out!

Love the clean and simple lines for this sketch.

And, surprise surprise, I made multiples. Four Easter cards that will be given to my siblings and my hubby's siblings. And, while I was making these four, I made three others using the same papers and images. So all six brothers and sisters are taken care of AND my sweeties as well.

Here are the links to the four using this week's sketch:
Week 1: Card 1, Card 2, Card 3, Card 4

It was a great chance to ink up these new (to me) Easter stamps from Verve. Love the Bunny Shake set. It is just so darn cute!

Looking forward to next week's sketch!
