From The Bottom of My Heart


Hey there, stampers, today I have a challenge two-fer. Verve Diva Maureen has been busy this week, hosting two different Verve challenges -- the July Get Your Diva On (your chance at a future guest design spot) and this week's Viva La Verve sketch challenge.



For the Get Your Diva On challenge, Moe has challenged us to use a pretty plastic gift card for inspiration. Those little things sure do come in such fun designs these days! You can choose to be inspired by a gift card you already have on hand, or use the photos Moe uploaded to the challenge thread. Here's the one I used:



And here's the Viva La Verve July Week 3 sketch:



You can find all the Viva La Verve Sketch Challenge details HERE.

Have a happy weekend!

LOVE it, Amy! I had an idea similar to this running through my head for this sketch, using the same stamp and heart die! It's on my desk waiting to be put together! Yours is beautiful, mine will be so so! Hugs, sus
