Anni~Verve~sary Spotlight Hop Day 1~ Sunny Days

I am so excited!! I get to share cards with you this week made with some of the most fun images Julee has ever designed for Verve!! Welcome to our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!

Hop along with the Divas all week long as we share our first looks at a few of the new products releasing from Verve on Friday night! One lucky commenter from each day's hop will win the sets and dies featured that day, so be sure and leave a little love in the Divasphere! Check out the Verve Blog today for all the prize details and deadlines.

I saw a photo, the other day, of a bowl of dried sprigs, and immediately the new leafy sprigs images and coordinating die came to mind. I thought, why not duplicate that image with paper. It's so fun and easy with the Leafy Sprigs die. All I did was stamp the Leafy Sprigs images, from the set Sunny Days, with French Roast pigment ink from Amuse, diecut them with the Leafy Sprigs Die Set, and crinkle them up a bit to give depth and texture.

See that little button? That's in the set too, as well as a fabulous variety of Julee's flowers and wonderful leaves. This will be a "go to" set for me in the future for sure. The sentiment I included is a plain jane sneak peek that will be spotlighted tomorrow.

Well, I'll keep this short so you can continue on the hop!! Here's a list of those hopping along. You won't want to miss a stop!! We have two very special diva guests this month too, Sarah and Marisa. Not only are they talented, but they are super sweet!!
