It’s Anni-VERVE-sary Time…
Happy Saturday, friends! You’ve found your way to the next stop on the Verve Anni-VERVE-sary spotlight hop for today. Hopefully, you started at Julee’s blog and made your way here from Betty’s blog. If not, take a moment to rewind so you don’t miss a thing or a chance to leave a comment for an opportunity at some great prizes!
Have you been missing your VERVE STAMPS…new ones, at least? I know that I have! Julee, the owner and designer extraordinaire, has been busy taking good care of her twin boys born earlier this year. But, she is back {and in a BIG WAY} to releasing new product for VERVE. There are TWENTY THREE new stamps and dies being released on August 24th.
Today’s spotlight is on the new {upcoming} set, DOODLED OCCASIONS…
Detail shot…
My mom has requested that I make some sympathy cards for her to have on hand, so I decided to use the combination of the larger and smaller sympathy sentiments in this set. To embellish this card, I cut 3 flowers with the SCALLOPED FLOWER dies {also being released on the 24th} and then stacked them and topped them off with a button tied with twine.
Do you recognize this sketch? Yep, it’s this month’s SKETCH FOR YOU TO TRY {sponsored by VERVE!}…
You can find all details and upload information for SFYTT on THIS POST.

Jen, this is so pretty! Wonderful layers and beautiful flower. The font of this sentiment is less formal and it’s great to have variety.
Beautiful card using the Aug. sketch. Nice sentiment. The colors, paper patterns and flower appears to create a “comfy” or “homey” feeling, which I’m sure will be embraced by the receiver. TFS, Jen.:)
