Blogoversary Winners & Verve Visual Release Day

I absolutely loved reading all 258 comments about your stamping goals for this year. 2008 is a blank slate - go out and make your dreams come true! So, I'm sure you don't want to hear my yipyap about all my goals this year, so I'll just cut right to the winner's list.... except, first I want to say a great big, huge thank you to hubby who patiently compiled the list of everyone's comments, so that I could finish up working on my last minute to-do's for today's Verve Visual release. You're the bestest, hubby!

It's the 10th of the month and that means it's Verve Visual release day! Hallelujah! I'm releasing 5 new sets today, so head on over to the Verve Store and check them out. If you've got to have them all, there's a really sweet deal on the Hearts & Stars Launch Pack that you won't want to miss. And be sure to check out the Verve Gallery, which has been restocked with loads of eye candy from my fabulous Design Team and special guest designers.

Today's card was made using the Polka Stars set that released today. I made it for Shannan's birthday a while back. She loves polka dots, Groovy Guava, Chocolate Chip, ribbon and sparkles, so I tried to incorporate a little bit of all those things into the card. Not being a Guava fan myself, I was surprised how much I liked it when combined with Chocolate Chip. I believe the card is from this Sketch For You To Try by Jen from quite a while back.

Stamps: Polka Stars, Fancy Florals (Verve Visual)
Ink: Groovy Guava, Chocolate Chip
Paper: Groovy Guava, Chocolate Chip (SU!), Chocolate Delicious Desserts (Studio 8)Accessories: Hodgepodge Hardware, Ticket Corner Punch, Star Punch (SU!), Stardust Stickles, May Arts ribbon
