Diva Inspirations Blog Hop!

Welcome to the April Diva Inspirations Blog Hop! Our Diva Inspirations team is here to start your month off right with some Verve Inspiration.   Here is the master hop list.
Diva Inspirations Blog Hop


Master Hop List

2. Betty6. Lynda
3. Dawn7. Shannan
4. Jen d.8. Sony
We've hidden a little mystery prize on one of today's hop spots, so be sure to leave a little comment love as you hop around for a chance to win! Take a little peek at each of the fabulous blogs  for some Verve-alicious eye candy and you just might win some Vervey goodness of your very own!
Comment Deadline: 11:59pm Mountain, April 5
Prize: $30 gift certificate to Verve 







For my card I am using One Person,  Feel the Sun, and the new Charming Oval die set.  I am using the  Mojo184 Sketch for this card.  I love that many of the sentiments in the One Person stamp set fit the larger charming oval die.  I distressed the oval a bit with ink and crinkling it up a bit.  I added one of the flowers from Feel the Sun over the sentiment. I used the eyelet setter section of my CAD to put little embossed dots at the end of my oval die for an added touch.  



Since it's a new month, that means we've got a new Stamp of the Month to reveal! This month we're featuring Kindred Spirits, an elegant set of images and sentiments based around the timeless fleur de lis!  Kindred Spirits is 40% off during the month of April. How's that for a deal?

Be sure to hop over to Michelle's blog and give her some lovin'.  Michelle is working on the Spellbinder's Design team now.   I wish you all the best, girl!


As always thanks so much for hopping by!  Enjoy the Hop!
