Verve May 2014 Spotlight Hop ~ Day 2

Welcome to Day 2, of Verve's May 2014 Spotlight Hops!  If you have come here from Charmaine's blog you are right on track.  If you just happened up on the Hop, you can follow the list below to get caught up.  Everything previewed this week will be available in the Verve online store Friday night, May 23rd.   

Today's featured sets are Wonderful Marvelous and the Jeremiah 17:7 Plain Jane. 

My first card uses the Jeremiah 17:7 Plain Jane.  Adore this verse!  Such a great sentiment to put on a Father's Day card, or to encourage someone by letting them know you can see them putting their trust, hope and confidence in the Lord.  I combined it with the anchor and wheel images from Strong Anchor and matching Nautical Die Set.

My second card showcases Wonderful Marvelous.  This is a wonderful set with sentiments for both Mother's and Father's Day.  Chose this fabulous sentiment from the set and embellished it by using the All Aflutter die and matching image from  Blue Skies.   Added a secondary sentiment using a trimmed off die from the Flag It die set.

Mojo Monday #345

Another fun sketch by Julee for us to play with this week.  I thought through various things to use in the circles and came up with shamrocks.   Lucky You is such a fun set to use and love the matching Shamrock Die Set!  Needless to say, I will be well prepared for next year's St. Patrick's Day!  

I fudged the sketch a bit by separating my circles, but the shamrock cluster just didn't work.  I have free falling shamrocks instead wink, wink {grin}.  Snuck in a few polka dots for good measure and went a bit wild with the black buttons LOL!

All the challenge details are over on the Mojo Monday blog and you can also view all the wonderful Mojo Makers samples.  Should you wish more details on the Mojo Maker's cards, you can also visit their individual blogs noted below.
