Verve: Card Carnival

 

Is anyone else thinking TGIF?  I am, even though I have a couple of more days left of work until I head for VACATION to beautiful Colorado!  We are actually going for a family reunion in Estes Park but we are going to be in Denver for a day or two as well.  Can't wait to get back to the beautiful mountains and relax in the cabin!  I should come back refreshed and full of inspiration!  :)

 

So I've been following Verve's Anniversary festivities this week and finally sat down to make at least ONE card for their Customer Card Carnival!  This one is pretty simple using Bloom and Grow, Floral Circle Dies and Rounded Scallop Frame Die.

 

 

This is going in the mail tomorrow to a very special friend of mine and yes I did sacrifice some of those hoarded silver pearls!  You are worth it!  :)

 

I've also created this for the Asymmetry Challenge in the Moxie Fab World. 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all my friends out there!  We are heading out of town to have a late lunch with my MIL and the rest of the family.  So this is quick today..........My card has been a work in progress for several days and thus missed the deadline for the CR84FN challenge this past week.  :(  Anyway, I love how it turned out and wanted to share it here.  I did use the sketch from Mojo Monday for this card as well.  Lots of layers but kinda fun to do after all the CAS cards from my last posts!  This is for my MIL and she will LOVE it!  She recently showed me that she keeps all of them in a book.  This means the world to me! 

Here is the sketch: 

I finally broke out my new Verve goodies I ordered right after the release!  I am in love with this floral set and matching dies!  These dies are very easy to use especially with the little clear positioning tool that's included.  And did I mention that they come in their own little pouch?  Julee has thought of everything!

Happy Mother's Day!  I may be back later in the day with another post and to update my supply list!
