*********************************************

It's time to shine our sneaky Verve spotlight on some brand new stamps! We're counting down to Verve's release party this Friday night, July 8, with THREE days of Spotlight Hops! And since new Verve is something to celebrate, there's abig PRIZE hidden on one of today's hop spots! Just leave a little shout-out in the comments as you hop about for a chance to win the entire July release! You can check out the Verve Blog for all the prize details and deadlines.

TODAY'S Featured Set:
______________________________________________________________

Today, the Diva's are previewing a GORGEOUS new sentiment set called "Words Cannot Express".


I started out on this card using Chupa's Sketchbook Saturday sketch. I just love this sketch, and even took the colors from her sketch image, lol! 
This is one of my favorite sentiments from the new stamp set. Have you heard the other version of this sentiment? "I love you from the bottom of my butt! I'd say the "bottom of my heart" but my butt is bigger!" BWAHAHAHA! How true, how true!
The stick pin that I stuck through the bow is from Pizzazz Aplenty. It was originally a regular "pearl" color, but I wanted it to match those champagne pearls so colored it with a Copic marker, I'd say it worked out pretty well, lol!

Your next stop on the hop is the fabulous TOSH! So...hop along and BE INSPIRED!:)
