Verve Birthday Phrases - Spotlight Day 1


Verve Release Week starts today! I'm ecstatic to be hanging out again and in great company with Melissa Hubert and Cresta Woodruf as April Guest Diva's.
 
There are four Spotlights sets on the hop and my CAS card and envelope set is using the fabulous Birthday Phrases stamps. Possibly the easiest set of cards I've evah made!


Here's some single shots to show off each sentiment... because they are awesome!










We're going to be hopping today through Friday and because Verve likes to share, there is a prize hidden on one of the hops today and each hop day this week! Leave a shout-out in each Diva's comments box and you could have some free Verve all your own! It's all going to be revealed, the sets and dies too, on Friday night at the release party. Hope you'll join us!

Are you ready?

Let's Celebrate Plain Jane Style!

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...
