Hello! It's Charmaine and it's my turn to share with you my project for this month's theme, Something Old, Something New! When I was thinking about sets to pair together (one from the current release and one older set from Verve), I came up with the older set first! LOL Crazy, huh? But I HAD to use the absolute first Verve set I ever owned and it was the very first Verve set ever released, Thoughtful Florals. (Actually, this one is a "remix" of the original set, but you get the point.) :) I love this set as much today as the day it was released. I love the happy sentiments that are perfect for so many occasions.
So, I decided to pair it with Birthday Bash from this past release and create a scrapbook page. I paper-pieced the balloons and added some Stardust Stickles to the insides of the stars. I stamped the frame from Thoughtful Florals in four different colors that matched the patterned paper and then stamped three sentiments from that set and the last sentiment, "you amaze me" is from the Uplifting Phrases set. I'm so glad these sets work so perfectly together!
