OCC sketch challenge

Here is my card for this past week's sketch challenge

I did not stamping--all images are from a Simply Scrappin set from Stampin up. I use Choc. Chip ribbon for my hangers and vanilla brads for the centers. The header is a Simply Scrappin piece as well--and isn't that wide striped Choc. Chip ribbon oh so very pretty!!

Mini Pizza Box for Number 4......

Number 4 for the Verve challenge was to make a pizza box......these are so much fun and they make great gift packaging for a piece of jewlery or small gift! I made mine with a snowy scene and added some glitter to make it shine--the edges were embossed with my new borders embossing folder.

Number 3........V-E-R-V-E embellishments

What does that mean?? Use an embellishment to fit the letters in VERVE!! I used the letters: R ribbon, E for embossing powder, and V for vintage hardware. When I first read it I thought we had to use each letter--I was thinking that will be one decked out card!!! Then I realized we could use the letters of our choice! Fun challenge.....check it out!!

Number 2......sketch challenge

The second challenge for Verve Release Challenges was to use the given sketch. I love a sketch challenge....one of my favorites!! We were also suppose to make it a thank you card. I chose a metal tag that says Thanks!

Challenge Number 1.....color challenge

The 1st Challenge for the Verve Release Party was a Color Challenge: use Turquoise, Olive, Black and White. I am not a fan or Turquoise and I definately don't like it with Olive but that is what makes it a challenge. Considering the color choices....I think it turned out pretty good!!

Gift Card Challenge.....Number 5

Here is a glimpse at the inside......

Here is my gift card holder. I used this template to make mine. They are so easy to make and they look spectacular!! Just add alittle stamping and some embellishments!!

Happy Thanksgiving!!
