Happy 3rd Anniversary, Verve!

(This is my second post for today - scroll down for my latest coupon adventure.)

Welcome to the Anni-VERVE-sary Blog Hop!

Verve turns 3 today and we’re celebrating with a blog hop!
If you started at the beginning of the blog hop and have been hopping from blog to blog, then you arrived here from Samantha's blog. If not, head over to Julee's blog for all the info on how to win prizes, and to start hopping from the beginning. If there's a hiccup along the way, you can always head to the Master Hop List to get the full list of links.

My first card has a lil' sentiment from Thankful Hearts. I really do like the font combination in this set. I've got some BasicGrey patterned paper and chipboard, a little Jenni Bowlin embellished butterfly, some Papertrey Ink ribbon and button, and then I added some art glitter to finish off the upper right hand corner.

On my second card I've got a happy birthday Plain Jane. I love the Plain Janes because I don't color images and these little stamps give me the opportunity to buy just the sentiments at a very reasonable price. I've got some Coredinations cardstock by Jenni Bowlin along with some of her patterned paper and journaling card, a Maya Road kraft envelope, some seam binding and some fun trinket pins.

Now it's time to head on over to
Joanne's blog to continue the Verve anniversary celebration!
