Welcome to the June Diva Inspirations Blog Hop! Our Diva Inspirations team and several special guests from the Release team are here to start your month off right with a little Verve inspiration! Before I provide the blog hop list, I'll share with you the little graduation gift I made for my daughter! She is "graduating" today from the 5th grade!!! Thank goodness it's just the 5th grade as I am not ready for my kids to be growing up so fast!!!
This was a very simple project and CASEd from Nichole. Can you see I have no original thought and just CASE others ideas?!?!? LOL!!! Anyway, I made the felt flowers {again, CASEd}, using a PTI flower die and felt. I then added some Doodlebug polka dot buttons, black and white twine and then glued them on the skewers. The 3 sentiments on the scewers are from Verve's Dream Big set, were stamped on Select White CS, cut out and adhered on the scewers using Elmer's glue.
The jar is a Stardbucks Cappucino jar that i washed and peeled the labels off of and then filled it with Green Apple Jelly Belly's. The ribbon is from PTI and the "I'm so proud of you" sentiment is from Verve's Dare to Be set and was stamped on Select White CS using Black Memento ink and then cut out using my Spellbinders die. I clipped it on using a tiny clothespin.
Next stop on the hop is Sweet SHANNAN!!!
Now, take a little peek at each of the fabulous blogs below for some Verve-alicious eye candy and you just might win some Vervey goodness of your very own!
