Always Look on the Bright Side



A few months ago, I had the honor of being Featured Cardmaker in the April issue of Scrapbook News & Review. Thanks Anne, and thanks SNR!! As part of the feature, I got to answer some fun interview questions and share two projects. This is one of them. (I'll post the other one another time.)

Here I've used stamps from three different Verve sets: Miracles Blossom for the flowers, Beautiful Kindness for the butterfly, and Fluttering By for the sentiment. The papers are from Basic Grey's Porcelain 6x6 pack. The Top Note die shape is popped up with foam adhesive, and the flowers and butterfly are each popped up again.

Before I go, I want to say thanks to all the participants in Verve's recent Anniversary Blog Hop. The projects were all incredible, and everyone's comments were so very much appreciated! I {heart} all the Verve fans out there in blogland!! Two of you have won the entire August release (a $117 value) - congrats to the winners!
