Well, here we are on the last day of Sneak Peeks from Verve! I've been stamping away and will have more to show ya'll tomorrow night at the Release Party over on SCS. You can get all the information about it HERE.



There are a few other DIVAS posting today and showing off this Great Friend set and you don't want to miss their beautiful creations. Visit the Verve Blog for a full list of all them.
And don't forget--Like our other spotlights this week, we've hidden a prize on one of the participating blogs for today so leave a little comment love as you hop around to be entered into a drawing to win today's featured set, Great Friend! Deadline for comment entries is 6PM Eastern Friday, August 20.
Anyway, the girls and I are stuffing a month's worth of summer into this week, making up for the time I was out sick with Mono. I'm still a little "coughy", but nothing I can't handle. We are going to the water park today for a little fun in the sun. I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully not sunburned!
SUSIE Q-TIP: It's ok to have your embellishments and stuff stray outside the lines of your card front. It's not like there is a force field there or something. Go for it.
