October Guest Divas
The fabulous Betty Wright (gbedwright on SCS) has been blowing me away with her gorgeous creations for some of our Verve challenges. Every time I see one of her cards, I just kind of sigh. They're lovely, gorgeously embellished and have so much detail, dimension and depth. Pure eye candy. I'm so happy to have her as our guest for this release, and you can look forward to seeing her take on the new stamps over the coming week. You can check out her creations on her blog, Stamping to the Wright.
Our other amazing guest designer has been on my list for quite some time. I just love Jessie Rone's (knightrone on SCS) colorful layered style, and her quest to make everyone love those little spiral clips she embellishes with always makes me smile! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us with the new release stamps - it's sure to be a perfectly crafted treat for the eye! You can check out Jessie's creations on her blog, Can You Say Addicted to Stamps.Free Winter Mittens Digi Stamp Set

Okay, so was this month's Encouraging Words project parade totally fun, or what? Such lusciously handcrafted gifts and awesome design ideas. To uplift and encourage is one of my missions here at Verve, and I always try to make sure that the stamps I design are in line with that mission. To put it in the words of Jiminey Cricket, "You've got to accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, latch onto the affirmative", so this project parade was such a treat to view. I loved everyone's encouraging creations. Keep spreading the love!
I think I've made you wait long enough, so without further adieu here are the winners from the Encouraging Words Project Parade...
