Two quick notes...

My watermark is officially approved! I can use the clean and qwerky typeface from Amanda over at kevinandamanda.com.

I stayed up all last night mesmerized by all my cardmaking tools and materials. So much so that I didn't stop at my personally induced stoppage time (lol) while making the Verve Release Challenge Contest. Now some of you know what I'm talking about when I say that those sketches are high quality. I just had to keep making the cards no matter how tired I got.


Let me just say, I'm very exhausted right now. If I didn't need to take care of my kids right now I'd be sawing logs. That's beside my point of the post. Back to Verve Release Challenges.


This is how I felt with each card.
CARD 1: Fresh, robust, with a plan.
CARD 2: Can't keep my eyes open "must stay awake", drained of energy and wanting to quit so I'll make the next card quick.
CARD 3: Blinded from card 2. Need something quick. Better yet. Quicker than the last card.
CARD 4: "Do I have those colors or do I just find something that has one of the colors in it and git 'er done.


Well after all that posting, here are my cards for the Challenge. You can get the details at my SCS gallery anytime I post a card here. Thanks for stopping by.




Hope to "see" you at the release party!

There is an Anni-Verve-Sary party going on today! Verve Stamp Company is 2 years old! The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
