Happy Anni-VERVE-sary!!

Welcome to the Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop! Verve turns three today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! If you've already been hopping along, you arrived here from Cassie's blog. If not, head on over to Julee's Blog (owner of Verve), for all the info on how to win prizes (after all, what's a party without presents?), and to start hopping from the beginning. If there's a hiccup along the hop, you can always head to the Master Hop List to get the full list of links.

Now I have to apologize because I’ve been a nightmare of a travel day so I will just show you what I did with my very first Verve set.  I hope to come back a little later today with a new card.

Thanks for hopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to Amy’s blog, for a little more Verve-y goodness.

Someone Special

Last week I got my very order of Verve stamps.  I have been eyeing them for a while but never placed an order put I got inspired when they were doing a benefit for Susie.  I went to make a direct donation to her and then went shopping at Verve.

As soon as I got these stamps and I got Forever in Our Hearts I knew exactly what I wanted to do, it was just a matter of executing it.  Now I hope I did it with the right sketch.  I chose the one from this past week’s I {heart} 2 Stamp sketch & Verve challenge.

Stamps: Verve – Forever in Our Hearts
Ink: Versafine Black, Distress Inks – Wild Honey, Bundled Sage, Rusty Hinge
