September Spotlight Hops - Day 1

Hi friends!  It's the start of release week for Verve and I'm so excited to share my new sets and dies with you!  The Divas will be sharing their first looks at our new sets all week long in a 5 day series of blog hops. This is the start of the hop, so grab a treat and settle in for a fresh batch of Verve!


As usual, there's a prize too!  Just leave a little comment as you hop through each blog in today's list and you'll be entered in a drawing to win today's featured stamps...  Each Day and the Psalm 94:18 Plain Jane.

I've really been admiring clean and simple cards lately, so that was my inspiration for this card featuring the Psalm 94:18 plain jane.  The verse is stamped onto sahara sand card stock, then matted with black and I added a bit of ribbon from the Polka Dot Basics Collection with a mini library clip.  My little accent is a peek at our new Build a Poppy Die Set.  Here I used it on its own and just doodled on each die cut piece, but it coordinates with a set you'll be seeing later this week.  The background is soft sky embossed with the hexagon folder from SU!

For a peek at Each Day you can check out my Mojo Monday card or I'm also blogging over on the Verve Blog today with yet another card to wrap up the Tic-Tac-Toe Diva Dare series.  (Yep, that's right... I'm a busy gal, with 3 new cards today!)  Alrighty, everything you see today will be available for purchase in the Verve store on Friday, September 27.  Next up on the hop is...Teresa!
