Default Viva la Verve! At home with Verve January Week 2 {1/08/10}

TGIF! I don't know about you but I've never been so ready for a weekend! Talk about a long week...

I'm keeping my blah blah blah short this week because I'm still fighting off a nasty bug and I know I won't make sense, lol!
For all the details on the new challenge format and the January challenge details and deadlines, see this thread--->Week One!!

We're still walking through entryways and foyers this month! I don't know about you, but I'm finding lots of inspiration for what I want MY foyer (if I had one, lol!) to look like!

Keywords this week are Verve (if you use Verve stamps) and
VLVJan2010 (**I'm using a different keyword than last week and this is the one we'll use for the entire month of January. This way the cards all go into one gallery. The brackets from last weeks keyword were making this happen anyway so this will make it easier to remember the keywords all month Sorry to throw that in there last minute!**)

Remember, Verve stamps are NOT required to play so if the sketch and inspiration challenges tickle your creativity, use what you have! We want everyone to play with us!



Lori Tecler's Sample
Lynda Benden's Sample
VLVJan2010 Gallery

Remember, you can use the inspiration photos in ANY way you see fit! No rules other than you must use the sketch AND an inspiration photo. Let us know which one you chose! Viva la Verve!

Here are mine - I was on a roll!

http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/ga...0&ppuser=98209

The last one I don't like at all - I had these papers that match in colour, but they totally didn't look nice together on the card.

I'll post another card with the same sketch, but I completely forgot about the inspiration photos (it was actually the first card I made and when I went to post it, I realized I didn't follow the rules at all)!

I really like a series of challenges - though inspirations are a bit more challenging!

Alright ladies, this is my first time on SCS and posting a card- hope I followed the rules!

Apparently I have to make 3 or more forum posts to post a URL to my card??!

Oh, dear...hopefully one day I will get this right!

My "one creative gene" is doing a happy dance today as it came up with a great idea for my card. I used the first picture.

I LOVE the inspiration photos. Like so many others I'm new to this (this is my 2nd Verve challenge) so not entirely sure of the rules. I uploaded my card and will also put my blog link here - trying to cover all the bases!

I chose the third photo (of the rug) because it also went with Dawn McVey's color challenge this week!

Here's my card. I chose the second picture again because I knew exactly what I wanted to do as soon as I saw it.

Enjoy the Journey

Great sketch. I actually made two cards - just switched up the sentiments.

The third inspiration photo immediately brought to mind the Basic Grey archaic paper I had in my stash. And the Traffic Jam cuttlebug folder seemed like a natural fit.
