Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop!



Welcome to the Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop! Verve turns three today and we’re celebrating with a hop, hop, hop! If you've already been hopping along, you arrived here from Christi T's blog. If not, head on over to Julee's Blog (owner of Verve), for all the info on how to win prizes (after all, what's a party without presents?), and to start hopping from the beginning. If there's a hiccup along the hop, you can always head to the Master Hop List to get the full list of links.





I am using Verve Thankful Accents and Birthday Surprise stamp sets.  I used the large circle shape to make background edges, too.   My colors are cherry cobbler, expresso, and so saffron.   I used various punches and nestabilities to complete my card! 

Thanks for hopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to Vera’s blog, for a little more Verve-y goodness.
