Can you believe we are on Day 5 of the Anni-VERVE-sary Spotligh Hops. Just one more sleep until the Release Party!! It's going to be one happening party so hope you can join us!
Today's sneak peek includes some wonderful dies and matching stamps. One can never have enough dies, and Julee has created a wonderful set for your stamping pleasure.
My first card uses the Curvy Bookplate Die and the coordinating stamp from Tag Time. Love the shape of this die, and as you can tell from my card, there are many other Verve sentiments that will fit in this wonderful shape. I used Diva Andrea's Verve Sketch for this week and kept things rather CAS because I just loved this DP and wanted to show it off.
I had a second card all made for today, then realized it uses Friday's new Inkspirations Challenge, for which I am a DT member, so I can't post it until tomorrow - silly me!! I'm blaming the chlorine from the pool for this mess up - at least that is my story and I'm sticking with it LOL! Kids are in 45 minute swimming lessons and I do laps while they have their lessons so I am once again donning my "eau de chlorine" rather potently!! Must have pickled my brain a bit too LOL. Darn it all anyway, as I loved how my card turned out. Guess you'll have to wait until the release party to see it unless you are a regular follower ;)
I'm sure the rest of the Divas don't have chlorine brain, and I know they have some amazing cards to showcase today's sneak peeks so here is today's Hop List.
