Anni-VERVE-sary Card Challenge!

Good morning dear friends!  I’m so excited about today’s post!  Diva Andrea and I are hosting today’s Anni-VERVE-sary challenge over on the Verve Forum!  When Julee asked us to create a challenge for the Anni-VERVE-sary release, I couldn’t help but be inspired by my own 5th Anniversary this year.  I also know (only too well!) that the Traditional Gift for a 5th Anniversary is “wood” and the Modern Gift is “silverware.”  Check out the REAL inspiration for the challenge…Tony’s gift to me this year :)  Three wood beads on a silver bracelet…yup, he’s a keeper!

So you can see how my challenge came about…teehee…
I’ve used both wood and silver on my card.  The jotted heart was die cut out of balsa wood and the coordinating image was stamped with Sahara Sand.  Now, the Divas are also giving some pre sneak peeks of the new sets.  I was thrilled when Julee said one of the sets was inspired by some of my ideas :)  And here it is in stamp form!  This is a sentiment I either write in Tony’s cards or say to him (awww, I know!).  LOL, so no mistaking Julee’s inspiration this time, unlike last year’s Better with You set! LOL  Now head over to the Verve Forum to see how you could win the WHOLE release by playing along with all our challenges!  Thanks for coming by! Have a lovely day :)
