Verve Spring New Release Spotlight - Day 3


Hey there! We've arrived to the last day of Verve's New Release Spotlight Hops. Today's hop spotlights Chicks Rule set and the Flutterby Die. I could not put down the Chicks Rule set. It's a real chirpin' good set. So versatile and the sentiments, OH MY! I've got so many more ideas to do with this set.

So sometimes I need to go off the page and when I saw the basket in Chicks Rule I just had to try and make it 3d. It worked!

And when one works you have to make more...


but why not enough to set the table with favors at Easter!



When I got them all done and ready to photograph, I thought it looked like a Verve-berger basket party!!!!! LOL It's been a super fun ride creating with the new Verve release and getting to be a mini-Diva this month!

There is a prize is hidden somewhere along today's hop list. One lucky commenter on one of the Diva Hop Spots below will receive today's featured Chicks Rule set, and the Flutterby Die! Deadline for commenting is 6PM Mountain on Friday, March 25. Winners will be announced during our ReLeAsE pArTy that night!


Have a super great Friday and on to the hop. Ready......Set......GO!
