Coming Season of Weddings

It's Monday and we have one more week of school before spring break. I'm so excited for a break from the routine, but it's also a time to start getting ready for the change in seasons. I usually get a lot of requests for wedding cards and graduation cards right at the end of May and this year, I'm hoping to have a few stocked and ready.

My card today is a Vervilicous one from the Love Story stamp set and coordinating die, Lovely Marquee Die. I used Maureen's fantastic Viva La Verve sketch for the layout and it was all just easy to pull together.

I didn't have to do much distressing because the Kissing Booth paper has a fun distress pattern already built into the design, so the only addition was adding stitching around the back mat and some sponging to the sentiment set. Two mini buttons glued into place with some dark red embroidery floss that has a faux french knot completed the sentiment. I glued together the banner piece and lacey circle with a couple pop dots to for the tails and all of it went together with a finishing embellishment of flower ribbon and die cut key.

Come play along with the Viva La Verve challenges this month and you could be a lucky winner! See the details on Maureen's sketch post.

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...
