Anni-VERVE-sary Spotlight Hop ~ Day 9 (Release Day!!)

 

Good morning!  Well, today is what I consider the official final day of my carefree summer.  I’ll head back to my classroom next week to set up for the upcoming school year on September 4th.  So though it’s bittersweet, I can’t think of a better way to go out with a BANG than the last and final day of the Anni-VERVE-sary Sneak Peeks.  If you’ve arrived from Laurie S.’s Blog, you are right on track, if not, check out the Blog List below. You’ll want to visit each participant and leave a little comment love for the chance to win today’s featured stamp set, Treasured Words. 

I’m using Diva Amy’s CAS Viva La Verve sketch that is just up in the VLV Forum to help me showcase today’s set.  Now, you’ve seen that sweet little stitched frame all week {wink} but now I can talk about it for real! LOL  There are a whopping 12 sentiments in this set that fit perfectly into that little frame that sits perfectly in the Rounded Rectangle die.  I used a scrap punched border that I didn’t use on a card this week, a little unexpected element for the CAS layout.  Did you notice the stitching?  Now, you know me…LOVE stitching, LOVE various thread colours…but if you don’t, you can stamp a sweet row of stitches with another stamp from Borderline (shown yesterday on Day 8).

Remember my little white board?  After erasing a LONG list, this is what was left on Wednesday.  Now remember, I’m on the West Coast, so the Release Party time for me is 6:00 PST…it’s 9:00 EST…so don’t get mixed up!  I don’t want you waiting around for 3 hours! lol

 

I hope to see you at the party tonight.  The Release Party thread is HERE.  Thanks for stopping by! Now hop onto to Teresa’s Blog…
