Verve's 2!! and a card

All you VERVE fans out there won't want to miss a thing this week!! Verve's celebrating its 2 year anniversary, and Julee has some wonderfully exciting things planned for the entire week.

Anni-VERVE-sary Sketch Challenges
Play along by this Friday, August 14 at 6PM Eastern for your chance to win the ENTIRE release! Check out all the sketches and the deets on this thread in the SCS forum.

Diva Giveaways
Throughout the week, the Divas will be posting giveaway threads in the SCS forum. Participate along with them (it might be a challenge, a game, a question or some other activity) and you might win $25 in Verve Bucks, good for anything in the Verve Store. A few Divas are scheduled to post each day Monday - Thursday, so there's 13 chances to win!

Sneak Previews
Sneak previews officially start on the VERVE blog tomorrow. Each day this week, the Divas will be bringing you some Verve-alicious peeks at the sets releasing this weekend! Plus there'll be more chances to win some stamps!

Anni-VERVE-sary Release Party
Last, but not least, the release party will be this Friday night (August 14) at 8PM Eastern. We'll be revealing the 7 new sets and 2 plain jane singles, as well as chatting and announcing all of our release week winners. Be there or be square! Oh, WHERE you ask? Over on the Release Party thread in our forum!

Julee has really outdone herself with the new releases, so you'll want to check them out.
Hope to see you in the Verve Forum on SCS!!


Here's a card I made awhile back and haven't had a chance to upload yet. I used a sentiment from Verve's Forever In Our Hearts set. I just stamped it with Espresso (Adirondack Dye Ink), directly onto Making Memories Designer Paper. It's pretty straight forward.

I'd like to welcome the two guest Verve Divas for the month too. They are fabulously talented, and most friendly!!

Welcome Mercy Kerin and Sankari Wegman!!! You guys are AWESOME!!
