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 Julie's blogIf 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. 


This is my first time on the Verve blog hop - I have been admiring their stamps for a year now and I do have a couple of their sets - "Up Up and Away" is one of my all-time favorites. I also used "Uplifting Phrases," and "Starlight, Starbright" for the great sentiments.  I used it for a graduation card for a very special male family member and I hope he likes it!
Here are a few views so you can get the full Verve goodness from it:-)  There is a subtle watermark on the cardstock - it is a passport stamp background for this future world traveler.





In case you are wondering where I took this photo - the card stand is sitting inside a flat of microgreens outside on our patio.  I wanted to get a good photo with natural light and this was the only way to do it.


I sure wish I had some more to show - unfortunately, I'm back to work and time is short again.  I wanted to make sure I joined to blog hop to show the Verve folks and their design team how much I appreciate them!
Thanks for hopping by! Now it's time to hop on over to Joan’s blog, for a little more Verve-y goodness.


Please leave some love for all the bloghoppers!!


Jennifer
