Welcome to our Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hops!  As many of you know, Verve is celebrating its 5th anniversary this month and the party is just getting started! Come join us over the next 9 days as we showcase the 23 new stamps and dies releasing from Verve! We'll be counting down the minutes and revealing all the new sets in our forum from 9-11pm Eastern on Friday, August 24, so make plans now to join us for our release party!

In the meantime, we've got a fun filled hop for you today! So let your fingers do the clicking and peek into the creative minds of Verve's talented Divas and Guest Divas as they give you a little tour of what's to come! Inspiration abounds, and so do the PRIZES!

That's right! We've picked a mystery blog from today's hop and hidden a prize! So be sure to give a little shout out in the comment section as you hop around to each blog on the list.

For my card I am showcasing Learning to Sail stamp set and Flourished Trim Die.  I also combined with Verve's Cut Above Jotted Heart die and the Mini Bookplate die set. 

I am using this week's Mojo255 Sketch.
I combined some MME Market Street papers from my stash.  It was slim pickings from this pad, though.  Only a couple of sheets left.   I ink distressed a bit, stitched around the panels, added the focal elements, and a coordinating seam binding bow.  I stamped the little start to one of the hearts and added some glitter for a touch of sparkle.  The  Flourished Trim Die sits on both sides of the seam binding for an added detail.  Of course,  it appears that I covered most of it up with my focal hearts and sentiment.  Speaking of sentiment, I  am just loving these new Mini Label dies.  I just keep reaching for any of the new three sets. LOVE THEM!
