Welcome to our MAY Diva Inspirations Hop! It’s the 5th of the month and that means it’s time for the Verve Inspirations Team to breathe new life into some much-loved stamps and dies. And there’s a PRIZE up for grabs, which might just come in handy for the new stamps and dies Verve is releasing on Friday, May 10! So be sure to leave a little shout out in the comment section of each blog as you hop about to be entered in a drawing for a $30 gift certificate to Verve Stamps! Check out all the details and prize info over at the Verve Blog.

If you’re just getting here from the ever-so-talented BETTY’s blog, you’ve come to the right place!   I have a card for you today using the LOVE DEEPENS set.    It’s the perfect time of year to use it, and since I’ll be traveling next week for my sister’s wedding shower, I have my card for my mom all set now- it’s good to feel ahead of the game! ;)  Here’s my card:

Hi, everyone!

I’m so excited to be back to monthly releases, aren’t you?!  We are going BIG in May with THREE new dies, a new “BIG Time” Anya set, and another Anya that you are definitely going to want as part of your May ‘harvest’ of goodies!

First up, we have ANYA STROLLS, a 4×6 set including a BIG TIME Anya and 2 sentiments, and our new “TGF GATE” Die!  Both make for a beautiful spring scene as you’ll see here:

Isn’t she darling?  I love her little dog, too…and that sentiment just might be my favorite part!  :)

Be sure to head over to the TGF BLOG today because we are giving away a set of BOTH the stamp set and die!

See you back here on Monday with another preview!  Yay!

xoxo.

…you lift me up.

Hey, everyone!

I know it’s been a while since I’ve blogged- busy doesn’t even scratch the surface!  I have a quick card to share from one of my favorite Verve Stamps sets, “Brighter Days”.  I love the scripted sentiment and think it looks so pretty w the flowers lined around it.

This card is going to a friend who doesn’t even know how much she brightens my day when I’m feeling frazzled.  While I definitely don’t have much to be “down” about, and I praise God for that, we all have stresses and when I do, she’s right there to make me laugh or distract me with coffee or lunch.  :)

I also used the sentiment from the “Small Phrases” set, “you are loved.”  If you don’t have this set, seriously, go, run!  I use it again and again and I’m sure you will, too!  The paper is from the My Mind’s Eye “Mother” stack which is almost a year old but I’ve barely touched it, so it was time :)

Hope you all have a wonderful day!

xoxo.

APRIL Diva Inspirations Hop!

Welcome to our Diva Inspirations Hop! It’s the 5th of the month and that means it’s time for the Verve Inspirations Team to breathe new life into some much-loved stamps and dies. And there’s a PRIZE up for grabs! So be sure to leave a little shout out in the comment section of each blog as you hop about to be entered in a drawing for a $30 gift certificate to Verve Stamps!

This month we’re also saying a fond farewell to Jen del Muro, as this is her last hop as a Verve Diva. She’s been a part of the Verve team almost from the very beginning and although we’re sad to see her go, we’re so excited to see the things she has up her sleeve for the stamping world!  Glad I got to work with her for a few weeks, anyway!  ;)  Speaking of our Jen, if you’re just getting here from her blog, you’re in the right place!   If you’d like, head to the VERVE BLOG to begin the hop there.

This month, I have a card super close to my heart.  At the beginning of this week, I found out that a very good friend of mine was diagnosed with breast cancer.   I am absolutely floored not only by her strength and positive attitude, but by the power of prayer and God’s GRACE.   Within the week, we have since found out that it hasn’t spread to her lymph nodes which is great news and I praise my Lord Jesus and Heavenly Father for this.   Her faith has always been a true testament to everyone who knows her, and since I see this person 4 days a week on average, I can tell you without a doubt, her resilience and faith have astounded me.   Talking to her today and hearing about how all is falling into place for her in the past 4 days- whether it’s meals, a nurse for her during  treatment, a great doctor referral, just all of it makes me believe more than ever that God’s grace is so much bigger than what I could ever deserve, but I am so, so happy that she has this attitude and is receiving those mercies and GRACE.   This card is for her:

I used the flowers from my fave BRIGHTER DAYS set, and the Grace plain Jane was PERFECT for this!  The paper is My Mind’s Eye, cardstock is Stampin’ up.

As many of you may have noticed, I’ve gotten away from sharing personal stories so much on my blog.  While I have my reasons for this (and hey, if you’re my facebook friend, you’re probably getting your fill, haha!), I thought this was important enough to share and to give the GLORY to God for his good graces!  Please continue to lift my sweet friend- a friend to MANY who is loved beyond words- up in prayer in the weeks ahead.   God is hearing them and working GREAT things for her and I am forever grateful for this!

Thanks for stopping by, and it’s time to move on to Karen’s blog now!

xoxo.
