Verve Challenge Card VLVMay04

I got this set just in time! LOL! I didn't have any type of Verve masculine sets and this was my fave out of this last release. I did't have anything other than something that says Happy Father's Day so I wanted a few different sentiments. This card was really simple to make but....just remember to put the little foot down when you're sewing! *eye roll* This was the first time I've actually used my Janome and I do have to say....the best 40.00 investment I've ever spent! The good part is...I managed to sew it without sewing my finger...ROFL!!!!!

CS: SU! Night of Navy and PTI White CS, Basic Grey Granola DP

Verve Challenge Card VLVMay03

I must be on a roll or something...LOL!!! Here's my week 3 challenge card for Verve. I'm actually ahead so now I just gotta wait a few days for next week's. I do have to say though...patience is NOT one of my virtues *eye roll*. I am working on that though but sometimes, it's just soooo hard!!! LOL! Anyway, this one actually took a while to get the layout the way I wanted it. Maybe I'll use this for next year's Mother's Day...or....just hoard it like the rest of my cards...hehehehe

Verve Challenge Card VLVMay02

Here's my week 2 challenge card. I wasn't too happy with my first card for this challenge so I made another one last night. I am a lot happier with this one although, it is waaay out of my comfort zone. I gotta get to work on week 3. I'll be posting that as soon as I get it finished. I am so stoked to finally have a set that isn't Christmas to compete with in the challenges. I think if I actually won a whole month's release someone would definitely be picking me up off the ground...ROFL!!!!! One of these days I'll get to complete my wish list from Verve! Hmmmmm....I think that's going to be hard since they have a new release every month ...BWAHAHAHAHA
