Anni~Verve~sary Spotlight Hop Day 2~ You and I

Welcome to day 2 of Verve's Spotlight hops. If you missed yesterday, Click Here and check out the sets that have been peeked already. You'll also want to make sure you stop by the Verve Blog to see how you can win some fabulous Verve goodies.

Now, about my card. For some reason, it looks blurry to me here on blogger. I promise, if you click on the photo, it's a much clearer picture. I don't know if it's the colors, patterns, or what. I've never had this problem before. So, sorry about the poor photo quality.

Okay...Julee has come out with the SWEETEST I {heart} U dies and matching images in a set called You and I. Talk about cute!! And of course the dies do all the work for you. For this card, I just used the "I" and "u" dies and not the images. I stamped the word "miss" onto the oval from the Charming Oval die set, and added the included sentiment "so much" to the bottom of the card. The panels behind the letters are a new die as well, but I jumped the gun on the peek day with those too. This release has oodles of new dies with it, and I just couldn't help where the creative process took me...I tried, I really did...;)

That's it for today, be sure to check out what the rest of the divas have to share. Their creativity knows no bounds, I tell ya. And stop by tomorrow for a couple of more cards.

    So lovely! The design is awesome. And I even noticed that you lined up the tiny leaf sprigs in the patterned paper and rhinestones for the "I" and "U." he he. Just one of those little details that bond us OCD folks. ;)
