Verve Diva Inspirations Blog Hop - October

Welcome to the October Diva Inspirations Blog Hop! Our Diva Inspirations and Release teams are here to start your month off right with a little Verve inspiration! Today, I'm combining my Inspiration card with Mojo Monday's sketch and some beautiful papers from My Mind's Eye:



To make the sentiment panel, I stamped the frame from Tag Time on some Vintage Cream cardstock and cut out the outer cream edge. I used a black marker to fill in the little white spaces that I missed while cutting. I sponged the edges and added my sentiment, which is from  the Bountiful Harvest set. I then matted that panel onto a Curvy Bookplate die cut to give the perimeter a nice outline.

Here's the Mojo Monday sketch I used, and this week is a prize week, so you'll definitely want to link up your creation:
