More Verve Sneak Peeks…

Are you ready for some more Verve-a-licious-ness? Today myself, along with several of the Verve Divas and Guest Divas are peeking two new sets that are going to be released this Friday, A Happy Hello and Kind Words. Both of these sets have a lot of versatility and can be suited for any style. I can’t believe that I was able to sit down and not only create both of these back to back {thanks for the good nap, Nic!}, but to make them so different from each other. In the past, I have found that once I am in one frame of mind/creativity that is the direction that I will take for awhile.

Here’s the more elegant of the two, using the to-be-released on Friday set, Kind Words

This next one is a little more “cute-sy” and uses A Happy Hello
