Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop!

***Third Post for the Day***Welcome to the first ever official Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop. Verve turns two today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! The party kicked off over on the Verve blog, so if you’ve just happened along, be sure to hop on over there to start from the beginning! And to make this party a real shindig, there’s a mystery jackpot hidden at one of the stops along the hop. One lucky commenter on that blog will win Verve’s entire August release! But of course, it wouldn’t be a mystery if you knew which blog, would it? So if you’re feeling the love, give a little shout out to the bloggers in the hop and you just might have a reason to jump for joy!
For my card today I just had to use the stamp set Up, Up and Away I really just love this set, I think it may be my favorite Verve stamp set! Of course with the use of any great stamp set you have to use your newest goodies! So I grabbed for my new SU! cardstock and decorative papers, Soft Suede and Thoroughly Modern DP! I really love who this set and the papers seem to work so well together. Of course no card is complete unless there is ribbon on it, and not just any ribbon but yummy May Arts ribbon!

Thanks for stopping by! Now it’s time to hop on over to lmurph’s blog, Forever Embossing, for a little more Verve-y goodness. Enjoy the rest of the hop, I know its going to be amazing! Have a great day!
Stamps: Up, Up and Away from Verve; Paper: Whisper White, Soft Suede, SU! Thoroughly Modern DP; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black, BG01Aqua Blue, E43 Dull Ivory; Accessories: Large Scalloped and Regular Oval Nestabilities, Pop Dots, May Arts Beige Ribbon, Kaiser Self Adhesive Pearls
