Welcome back to Viva la Verve!
Marisa here today with this week's recap and Viva la Viewfinder. Stacey posted a
fabulous sketch on Friday, and this is my take on it . Then, scroll down to see who
caught my eye and for this week's Viewfinders!
I have Spring on the brain big time as our West Coast weather has been absolutely fabulous recently! My tulips are six inches out of the ground already, and I may set an all time record by having to mow our lawn in February! Eeek! Oh how I love Spring! That made me pull out this fabulous flowed paper from MME's Lime Twist collection (an oldie but a goodie). Of course, with spring comes butterflies, so I couldn't resist adding one to accent this wonderful Hello Friend Plain Jane. I just adore the font and bold statement this sentiment makes!
We'll have 4 February 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. Verve stamps are not required to play, but we do love to see 'em! We'll
also be highlighting a couple of our favorite link-ups each Tuesday, so
be sure to get your links in if you're crafting over the weekend.
Here is the Week 3 sketch....

Here are a couple of pretty creations that I noticed in the gallery this week!
Petra's double frame is fabulous! A lovely accent for the flowers from Great Friend and the Charming Banner dies for the sentiment.
Adore Lesley's big polka dotted background and colour combination and how she paired it with one of my favorite sentiments from Kind Words. The fabulous flower is from Happy Place.
Leanne beautifully used some embossing paste on her vellum banner overlay, and created an explosion of flowers with the smallest flower from Bloom and Grow, and framed them with the co-ordinating Elegant Leaves die and stamp.
Wonderful work ladies! Thank you for joining us for this week's sketch challenge.
