Verve Diva Inspirations Blog Hop…

Posted by Jen | Verve, blog hopping, cards | Sunday, May 1, 2011

Welcome to your next stop along the Verve Diva Inspirations Blog Hop for May. Holey Moley, it’s MAY already!! That means summer is just around the corner and I have to figure out what I am going to do with the kiddos for 3 months straight {eeeeeek}. I know you moms feel my “pain.” I see a few zoo and museum visits in our future. I am hoping to find a VBS or two for Ellie. She seemed to have so much fun last time she went. I am sure that the pool will be calling our name, too. Does that mean that I actually have to wear a swimsuit?…ugh!! I know you feel that pain, too!! LOL!!

Being that this is a hop, there’s an order {The Master Hop List} you can follow so that you don’t miss a thing…

I was inspired by the Royal Wedding to make a wedding/anniversary card for this hop using the set, Wishing You

lifetimehappiness

This one is a little more on the cute side, rather on the elegant so I guess that part wasn’t inspired by the Royal Wedding. I love this color combo from the new Lime Twist papers from My Mind’s Eye!! I used the purple on purple stripe to make the double winged butterfly {Verve Flutterby die}…

In addition to this card, I wanted to show you the super quick and easy bag topper that I made a few weeks ago with a Verve sentiment from the Delightful & Delicious set

Alright, keep on a hoppin’ to Jen Tapler’s blog for some more Verve-y fun…

ETA…Don’t forget to leave a little love here and on each stop to have a chance to win some Verve-y-ness! ;)

    I guess the fact that I’m not quite awake yet this morning contributed to the fact that I left a comment for these cards on your previous post…

  37. Comment by MarvA1ix — May 1, 2011 @ 6:44 pm

    This card looks fit for royalty, right down to the crown. I think the scalloped edge with rhinestone accents looks like Catherine’s lovely tiarra. And the bright jeweltones on your card is fit for a queen.

  38. Comment by Michel E — May 1, 2011 @ 6:44 pm

    Love the projects.
