Verve-a-licious!…

Yep, it’s another blog hop! I think I might need a 12 step group for participating in all these…LOL!! I love them, tho! Tonight’s blog hop is all about the new releases from Verve Stamps. So, not only is it just a happy shopping day, but there are BRAND NEW stamps to be had, too! YAY!

If you missed it, there are reveals and challenges on the VERVE BLOG, including a challenge from myself and Susan to create a pizza box {tutorial HERE}. Here’s a peek at my pizza box using Thankful Accents

    Sometimes when you are hopping along and you see so many beautiful projects it’s hard not to feel overwhelmed by so much talent. The Verve Diva’s have that effect. I would describe it as jaw-dropping if that didn’t sound so dramatic. Gorgeous work. Fabulous colours. Detail work to die for. SO amazing. As always - TFS!
