Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight - Day 3


Welcome to Day 3 of Verve's new release spotlights! Today we're featuring an adorable set called Doodled Occasions. I just love the sweet, charming feel of this set -- especially the darling sun! You'll see I've also worked in my new love, the Pennant Trim die. Hmmm, wonder if you'll be seeing that on all my spotlight projects? {wink}. Here's today's hop list:
