It's All About Susan

Did you see who's the SCS Featured Stamper this week? The amazing Susan Liles (susiestampalot on SCS), fellow SFYTT sampler and Verve Diva! Congrats, Susan!!! Of course I had to play. I chose to CASE her stinkin' cute Oh Fudge card. Usually when I do the Featured Stamper challenges, I CASE the layout and change the stamps, colors and embellishments. This time I CASEd the stamps and the teetering ice cream scoop idea, but changed the layout to this week's SCS Sketch Challenge. The ice cream scoops are all colored over with a clear Spica. You can kinda, sorta see it here, but it's much more sparkly in real life:

Susan will also be hosting a challenge over in the Verve Forum today. Have I mentioned that we're doing a "Get to Know the Verve Divas" series? Each Thursday, one of the Verve divas comes up with a challenge for the week (freebies to a random participant, of course), and spends the week answering questions in the forum. Wanna get to know Susan a little better? Head on over :)

While I'm on the subject of Verve, remember to check out the current Project Parade on the Verve blog. Our theme this time is ATCs, and we want you to play along (more freebies to a random winner), so be sure to check out all the details right here.

Happy Thursday!
