Hello, Verve fans!  Marisa here today sharing this week's Recap and Viewfinder for the October 2104 Week 1 sketch and Colour Challenge created by Julee.

This months we'll have 5 challenges... 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!

Thanks for stopping by! See you at the next VLV challenge!!
