Thanks So Very Much!


I can't believe it's the last day of Spotlight Hops for the new Verve release already! It's fitting I made a thank you card for today, I have a lot of things to be thankful for! Thank you SO much to Julee and all the divas for the warm welcome, and thank YOU for all your super sweet comments. It has truly been a blast sharing these adorable new stamps with you all!

Today we're spotlighting the new Making a Statement stamp set and two new dies, Loopy Blooms and the Rounded Scallop Frame. I love love love this frame!


I stamped the graph paper from the set on my first layer, over stamping the sentiment in black and the little bird on top. The bird is paper pieced, isn't he cute? The frame was stamped in Poppy Parade and popped up on foam dots. The flower is cut with the Loopy Blooms die and I added a punched circle and brad to the center. The papers for this card are from Bo Bunny.


Inside I stamped another of the gorgeous sentiments and a couple more birds - they were just too cute not to use again!

That's it from me, be sure to go visit the Divas for your chance to win!
