Viva La Verve November Week 1 Sketch Recap

First and foremost, with today being Remembrance Day, I want to say a HUGE thank you to every person who has served, protecting their country, and the freedom of others.  Your sacrifice, as well as that of your family, is greatly appreciated and respected.  A personal shout out to my husband's nephew who has done two tours in Afghanistan and continues to serve our country today.  We love you, Andrew!    

Now back to the post.  It's time for a little Viva La Verve recap for November's Week 1 sketch.  I adore the optional colour combination Julee selected for this week - delicious, earthy colours and perfect for Christmas too :)


Speaking of Christmas, it's time to get going on a few more cards so I have enough to mail and hand out, and thus my Christmas themed card.

I had the perfect mix of papers for the colour combination and used Joyous Noel for my sentiment and poinsettias.  A few gold half pearls and a gold bow called it a card.

Want to see which cards I spotlighted for this week's sketch?  Then head on over to the Viva La Verve blog to find out!
