{Happy Anni-VERVE-sary}

Hi guys,

guess what?!
Verve is celebrating their three year milestone a la verve-style with a fabulous Anni-VERVE-Sary Blog Hop!!
If you just hopped here from Vicki's Blog in sunny Arizona then you're already fully in the know and on your way

BUT

if you didnt' and you just happened to have stumbled upon my card then I suggest you hop on over to Julee's Blog because that is where all the Verve-licious fun starts and that's where you can find out how you can win prizes. Who doesn't love a good prize, right?!

Now if there's a hiccup in the hop because someone had too much fun stampin' you can always head over to the Master Hop List.

Whew now that you know all the important stuff, let's chat a little:

I'm super excited to be able to share with you that Julee asked me to be one of her Guest Divas this month!!! I've always wanted to be a diva {grin} but I still nearly choked on my sandwich when I read her email...haha I guess it serves me right eating while doing other things, no? ;)
Anyway...{evil snicker} I've had a little peek at what's comin' and ladies hold on to ya knickers... or wallets rather...Julee has been cooking up some heavenly Verve!! Don't say I didn't warn ya ;)
I'd also like to send out a big CONGRATS hug to my fabulous fellow Guest Diva Maureen Plut! I just know we're going to have so much fun together!!

Ok so much for the chatter let's go into some details on my card...I'll make it quick I promise: The images are all from the Verve set Blue Skies (I ADORE this set...no really: it was love at first sight! That notebook style stamp...I'm at a loss of words I love it so much, the gorgeous butterflies and then those amazing sayings/sentiments...so yummy!!!)

I pretty much used all Digi Papers by Zoe Pearn for this card here well except for the dictionary paper, that's from October Afternoon but all the neutral colored DP is from the Winter Wishes pack and the teal polka-dotted DP is from Winter Wonderland (We had a cold front coming through what can I say?), all available at SweetShoppe. I like to print my Digi paper on generic Staples' Card Stock paper.

I measured and cut the little sleeve/envelope for my Notebook Page myself and used a circle punch to cut out that uhm half circle there. :)

Thanks for stopping by!!! Next stop on the hop is Rachel with her bucket full of cards, hehe isn't that just the cutest name for a blog?!

See you later!!
