Good morning everyone!  It’s been a busy week as I run around getting the details planned and made for my bonus son’s rehearsal dinner next week.  I’m not going Martha Stewart crazy, but do want to have a few fun things around as we start the wedding festivities :)  I’ll take photos if they turn out! HA!  To help take my mind of my large to do list, I sat down to play along with this week’s Viva La Verve sketch AND inspiration photo…

How fun are these colours, patterns and images?  I love the “Share Your Toys” quote…although, Julee’s twins were very well behaved when we were there :)  I pulled out the colours, used some fun patterns and took the word “life” to help me make my card today.  Want to win some new VERVE?  Head over to the Viva La Verve forum and see how YOU could win $100 worth of Verve!  Have a fabulous weekend!

Oh I need to see the pics for sure, Diva! ;D
Love your take on the challenge - those colours work so well together and your seam binding treatment never fails to amaze me!
I need that sentiment - not so much for me, but for my perfectionist guy! LOL!
Hugs!

Always love the notebook edge and what a yummy mix of the colours. How exciting to be able to have a wedding in the family :) May your prepping go smoothly and efficiently (no doubt it will)
