It's hard to believe that Verve is already 3 years old, she grew up so fast! *sniff!* Verve has been a huge part of my stamping life for the past 2 years and I can honestly say that I love it now more than ever before! Julee is just a phenomenal artist, business woman, and friend, and I'm SO happy for her and Mark that their sweet little company is doing SO WELL! I think we can all agree that EVERY release gets BETTER and BETTER! I just know that BIG THINGS are in store for Verve in the coming years, and I am so happy and proud to be right there watching it grow!
Today we're having a HUMONGOUS blog hop in honor of Verve's 3rd Birthday and I hope you'll join us! Don't be intimidated by the 80 something blogs in the hop, you will be so inspired all the way through. I know I can't wait to start hoppin'!
If you're arriving here from Becca's blog, you're on the right track! If not, be sure to start at Julee's blog and work your way through for LOTS of Verve-y inspiration! If you get lost along your way *there are more than 80 blogs! It may very well happen, lol!* find your next stop on the Master Blog Hop list HERE!!!!!!!
My card for today uses one of my favorite releases this year *so far* HEE!
I know what you're thinking, "that's not patriotic!" Why? Just because it's not red, white and blue? As a girl in the USAF, I know that I'd *adore* getting a GIRLY patriotic card;)
I cut the big tag out on my Cricut and sewed it onto the card base which is Berry Sorbet and patterned paper from the Basic Gray "Olivia" pack! I cannot put this paper down, it's GORGEOUS!
Okay, so there are TONS of beautiful cards to see so I'm not going to keep you here longer than ABSOLUTELY necessary;)
