I'm Late, I'm Late, For a Very Important Date

FINALLY, I carved out some stamp time and put together my very late sample for Jen's weekly Sketch for You to Try. It's an awesome sketch, and just for playing this week, you'll be entered into Jen's giveaway for "a little something." So head over to i{heart}2stamp to check out the sketch, Jen's sample, and guest designer Bonnie Sharp's sample. Amy, Carole, Shannan, and Susan have even more samples. Should you decide to play along with us (and we hope you will), go back to i{heart}2stamp to link up your creation. If you upload to SCS, remember to use keyword: SFYTT. I'm not sure I gave a proper welcome last week to the fabulously talented Bonnie Sharp, who joins the SFYTT groupies as guest designer for the month of August. Bonnie, we're so glad and so lucky to have you!! Welcome!

Speaking of important dates, I know some of you have been following the Anni-VERVE-sary celebration in the Verve Forum on SCS, and are anxious to begin seeing peeks of the new sets. Today is your lucky day -- previews for a set called Grateful Elegance are now posted on the Verve blog. Peeks will continue through Tuesday on the blog, then the release party will take place Tuesday night, 8 pm CT in the Verve Forum, and the release is midnight Wednesday, the 13th in the store!
