Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight - Day 5


Welcome to Day Five of our Anni-Verve-sary Spotlight hops!

All the fab new Verve stamps and dies shown so far are only *half* of this amazing 5th anniversary release! Can you believe?! Peeks continue all week long, right up until release day this Friday, August 24. Today we're spotlighting a new set, Brighter Days, and its companion dies, the Scalloped Flowers Die Set and the most darling little Arrow Die.

For my peek, I've used one of my favorite sentiments in Brighter Days, along with the arrow image (also in Brighter Days) and the Arrow Die. I wasn't kidding about all my projects having the new Pennant Trim, either. I just love it!
