It's that time again.

If you LOVE your Verve goodies and I DO then the 

AnniVERVEsary Release Retrospective Hop and Challenge 

is going to make your day. It did mine.

It was just the thing to get my crafty mojo up and running today.

I played with the Framed Florals stamp set 

from Julee's August release to create my card.

I know they are supposed to be bluebells but sometimes
I like to play outside the box so I colored them up with a pink Copic.
