Something Old, Something New

This week started the Project Parade on the Verve Blog.  This month's theme is Something Old, Something New.  Basically, Jen challenged the Divas to use both a stamp set from this past release and an older Verve set.  I knew exactly which old set I was going to use!  I got out my Thoughtful Florals set.  This was the first Verve set ever released (well, a remixed version of the first set) and I love it just as much today as I did back then!

I chose to create a scrapbook page using Birthday Bash and Thoughtful Florals.  I also used one sentiment from the Uplifting Phrases set.  I stamped the frame from Thoughtful Florals in four different colors that matched the patterned paper and then stamped the sentiments inside.  The balloons are paper-pieced and the stars are filled with Stardust Stickles.

Head on over to the Verve Blog for some great inspiration from the other Divas AND for a chance to win some Verve!  Thanks for stopping by today and have a wonderful day!  SUPPLIES USED:  Stamps- Birthday Bash, Thoughtful Florals, Uplifting Phrases (Verve Stamps); Ink- Tuxedo Black (Tsukineko), Rose Bud, Dandelion, New Sprout, Bahama Blue (Memento);  Paper- Sweet Summertime Collection (Echo Park);  Accessories- Stardust Stickles, circle punch (SU), white gel pen;  Finished page measures 6" square
