Anni-Verve-sary Spotlight Hops Day 6



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! 

I am using a sentiment from the new set Stronger Love.  This font is one of my favorites and I just love this saying...

I made the rays but cutting 2" x 6" rectangles and then cutting them in half diagonally.  They make quick and easy sunshine rays to layer behind any sentiment, frame or cloud!  Easy peasy!  I am the last stop again today but if you would like to keep going, here is the master list...
