August 2014 Diva Dare - Day 4

Celebrate Good Times - August Diva Dare

Welcome to August's Diva Dare!  Stacey here with another take on this month's dare entitled Celebrate Good Times.     

Verve is turning 7 this month and we’d love to see your celebration cards.  Think wedding, birthday, anniversary… anything that brings the confetti out!

 I've been waiting for the perfect time to create a card using these new stamp sets, Peaceful Medallions and Moments Remembered!  I adore the elegance of these two stamp sets that were illustrated by the amazing Chaitali Narla!  There are a couple of Flag It Die Set flags for an added touch and pop of pink, too!

Two ways to win prizes for double the fun!

Win a $40 gift voucher to Verve! Take our Celebrate Good Times dare and link your card up to be eligible to win.  Entries must have a celebration theme:  birthday, wedding, anniversary, confirmation, new job, retirement, new baby, new home - anything you can celebrate, be posted 8/8 or later, include at least one Verve product and be linked up to the linky widget by 8pm Mountain on 8/23/14.  One participant will be randomly selected to win the gift voucher.  You can enter as many times as you like, but each card needs to be in a separate post.

Win a Verve set of your choice! For another chance to win some new Verve, leave a little comment love on our design team's Celebrate Good Times Diva Dare posts!  One lucky commenter will win a Verve stamp set of his or her choice, so be sure to tune in each day!  Comment deadline to be entered in our prize drawing is August 23, 2014.

I also put Maureen's Viva la Verve sketch from last week to good use!

I hope you'll grab your celebratory Verve stamps and join us for this fun challenge!

Thanks for stopping by the Verve blog today!

Winners will be announced on August 24, 2014.
