Sites of the week

Have you been following all the sneak peeks on the Verve blog? I know that I am surrounded by a mountain of talent on that team, yet each month I am blown away with what the sneak peeks hold. I love that!

I have several projects that I can’t wait to show you, but I am going to do it a few at a time here. This is the first card that I created with Christmas in the Air, my favorite of the new sets…

The snowflake was created with the Cricut machine on thin chipboard, then painted white and partially coated with Diamond Glaze and Diamond Dust. I then topped it off with a ribbon and a bow. The paper pieced tree matches the green button and gives the card the “pop” of color that it so desperately needed.

My second {and last} project to show today…

As you can see, all of these project use non-traditional Christmas colors. I am totally loving stepping away from the usual red and green of the season. It’s fun to bring in oranges and pinks to combo with silvers and such. There’s lots more samples on the Verve blog and there will be even more to see at the Verve release party tonight on SCS. You can read more about the party HERE.

Today is the first day of Ellie’s physical therapy. We are hoping for a turn around on the ability to run and jump within the next few months. I am very positive about all of this and I am looking forward to watching my sweet lil’ girl grow more and more each day. She is going to be such a wonderful big sister! The other day our dog jumped on me and she immediately belted out, “Abby off!! That’s my brother in there!” Yesterday, she drew a picture of me with a huge circle for my belly, which says “just keeps getting bigger, and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger!” I hope she’s willing to tell me how small it gets after baby boy del Muro gets here!!!

Well, I’m off for now. See ya back here tomorrow
