Viva La Verve October 2013 - Week 2

Hi folks!

Well, it's back to work for me tomorrow (blech),  so I did my best to squeeze in some crafty time since I really needed to catch up on the Viva La Verve challenges for October.

Here's the week 2 sketch challenge

and here are the two cards I made using the sketch.


A thank you card (I need a bunch to thank everyone who donated to our team for the Light the Night Walk)

And a birthday card (for ANOTHER of the remaining October birthdays!)

card details:

• finished size: 4.25 x 5.5, kraft card stock base, dark navy for mats
• patterned paper: My Mind's Eye Lost & Found 3 "Oliver"
• stamps: Verve "Treasured Words"
• dies: Verve "Pennant Trim" Die, Spellbinders Petite Ovals
• from my stash: CTMH Outdoor Denim button, adhesive lace ribbon, paper flower, embroidery floss

additional challenges for these cards:

• Sister Act Card Challenge #30: Anything Goes
• Seize the Birthday: Anything Goes (for the birthday card)
• Pile it On #43: At least two embellishments (my thank you card has a flower and ribbon while the birthday card has a button and ribbon)
• Corrosive Challenge #186: Tic-Tac-Toe (Thank you card: Flowers, Sentiment, Layers)

As always thanks for stopping by! And don't forget - a new challenge started today at the Yumi & Fumi Handmade Blog. Be sure to check it out - hope to see you playing along (psst - it's a Hallowe'en Colours Challenge)!
