Hello, Friday. I am glad you're here.
What are you up to this weekend? Usually once the weekend rolls around I just want to lay low, but I have been hankering for a visit to a not-so-local scrapbook store. We'll see.
Anyway.. news!
Say hello to the newest Verve Diva!
I am so excited to have been invited to join the Verve Stamps Design Team! Monday started to an email from the adorably sweet Julee Tilman (THE original Verve Diva) asking me if I would like to join the Inspirations Team. Um, would I?! Beginning March 1, look for me to join the rest of the Inspirations Team Divas sharing our Verve creations for the monthly blog hop on the 5th. You'll also see Verve inspiration from me throughout the rest of the month. :)
I also have a card to share with you today, something I made for this week's Muse Card Club Challenge.
I played off the colors and the layout of Therese Calvird's card for this week. The glass made me think of a mason jar, which made me think of Waltzingmouse's Candy Jar... so I went with it. I also used the Camellia set and added some flowers. No masking involved with this one, the jar and stems were stamped directly onto the card and then the leaves and flowers were stamped onto a second sheet of cardstock, colored, and cut out. I added them to the jar with foam tape to give them some dimension.
Before I go, I wanted to remind you that Sunday is the monthly Waltzingmouse Blog Party. This month's theme is doilies. All the details are here.
Also, in honor of Valentine's Day, Serendipity Stamps is offering 20% off all stamps and dies in the heart category. Sale ends today!
That'll do it for me - enjoy your day!
