August Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop Day 4

Hello and welcome back! Have you been enjoying all of the new Verve? Me? YES! Today's set features the most darling java inspired sentiments and images and was truly a delight for designing a card! Take a look here at my card using Verve's new Better With You and Sip And Savor sets:

And guess what? These stamps also have a coordinating die set called From The Heart! That paired with the gorgeous fonts and wonderful images just has my head swimming in fabulousity!

I'm also posting a card for a budding artist, my daughter Analise is 11 and gearing up to "pen-pal" with another little girl in Texas and she asked me to post her picture of a card she made...she is so proud of it! So I told her that I would put it on my blog today:

She used gems around the top of the cupcake paper and Stickles as "sprinkles". On her first attempt, she picked out the "wrong" paper and then swore she wouldn't finish it (with a tear in her eye.) I told her to pick a different color paper and when she was done, she had such a smile on her face! Hmm...kinda sounds like me sometimes....
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
