Welcome to Verve's December Diva Inspirations Hop.
It's the 5th of the month so the Divas will be showcasing cards to inspire you with both old and new Verve! If you have come here from Maureen's blog you are right on track. If you just happened on to the hop, you can start from the top and work your way through!
I just love making Christmas cards, and as many of you already know, "joy" is my favorite Christmas word so I pulled out this fabulous Joy to the Word Plain Jane. I created my own notebook paper by using the dotted line image from Text Objects and then stamped the sentiment over top. We R Memory Keepers' North Pole 6 x 6 paper pack has some great non-traditional papers in it and I went with a blue and orange combo. I die cut two Frosty Snowflakes and stamped the corresponding image from Frosty Flakes on to them. Finished things off with some of this delicious chocolate seam binding from Verve's Signature Series ribbon pack, some silver bells and buttons.
One lucky commenter along the hop will win a prize, so make sure to leave a comment on each of the participating Diva's posts to increase your chances of winning! You can check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize info and deadlines.
Below is the full hop list if you need it, otherwise just hop on over to the oh so talented Christyne for what I'm sure will be a stunning display of Verve goodness.

Very pretty, Marisa! I love your seam binding/jingle bell treatment and the wonderful snowflakes.
The weatherman is letting us know we may get a few snowflakes in my area Friday night....very few, I'm sure. :-)
Love those snowflakes!
we're in a deep freeze here this week, but the kids are enjoying all the sledding. This card reminds me of this!

Gorgeous card, Marisa! The papers are beautiful complements to the wonderful sentiment - which I have and need to use soon!! Speaking of "joy" - thank you for your comments on my blog; each one is such a gem of support and encouragement!
