Verve Inspiration Blog Hop

** This is my second post today, so if you are here for my Mojo Monday card, just scroll down ** 

Welcome to Verve's August Diva Inspirations Hop! It's the 5th of the month and that means it's time for the Verve Divas to breathe new life into some much-loved stamps and dies.  I'm thankful to be able to join the Inspiration Team for this month's hop as you know how much I love my Verve stamps!  Even better, there's a PRIZE up for grabs, so be sure to leave a little shout out in the comment section of each blog as you hop about to be entered in a drawing for a $30 gift voucher to Verve Stamps! Check out all the details and prize info over at the Verve Blog.  Below is the list of those participating in this month's hop.

Since pink and green is a favorite colour combo of mine which I haven't used it for a while, it was time to rectify that issue.  Once on a favorites roll, I decided to add a few more:  polka dots, a heart (Wavy Hearst Die) and a butterfly.  The sentiment is from Words of Wisdom and I just love it because it is so true!  Life is about your attitude and is so much better when you appreciate and are thankful for what you have rather than pining away for what you wish you had or how things could be different.  So, this card brings me a whole lot of happy :)

The rest of the Divas involved in this month's hop are noted below and they have some fabulous, inspirational creations for your viewing pleasure!
