Hey there, Viva la Verve fans! Chaitali here today posting my first ever recap and viewfinder post! This one is for August 2014 Week 1.
This is the first of the 5 challenges in August... play along with us and link each of your challenge creations to our Entry Form link list.
The link list will be up for the whole month and we'll choose a random winner at the end of the month to win a $100 gift voucher to Verve. Challenge rules can be found on the Rules tab at the top of the blog or by clicking here. You don't have to complete all of the sketches to win, but the more cards you enter, the greater your odds of winning are. Verve stamps are not required to play, but we do love to see 'em!

The first challenge of each month is a sketch + color challenge and Julee had a fabulous sketch and color challenge this week!
Here is my take on the challenge!
I used stamps from Text Objects for my card today. Colored and cut out the little boat for a fun focal point!
Now for some cards from the August VLV gallery so far that caught my eye!
Tricia has some beautiful colored florals from Joyful Blooms on her card.
Lyn did a great job using the lovely sentiment from Be Blessed
I loved Lori's modern and colorful card with a Plain Jane
