Verve Goodness

Another quick post tonight as I'm out enjoying spending time with my MIL and her sister who arrived on Maui today for a little visit! I was so excited because Jo (MIL) brought my 2-yr-old son, Dean, a new surfboard quilt for his "big boy bed" that she made him along with matching sham and valance. It's soooo adorable!! I picked out the material when she was here visiting in December, but until I saw it all come together I had no idea how much I'd love it!! I just might have to use it as inspiration for a card later this week and share a photo!

OK, ok, on to the Verve....these are a couple of the projects I made for Verve's Release Party earlier this month. The new stamps are so much fun and these 2 projects make nice versatile, year-round gifts!!
