Release Party HERE! Friday, Oct 23 @ 9PM ET

[Vervegirl]

It's almost time to party like a Diva!

We'll be debuting 7 brand new sets, chatting up a storm and just having a grand old time! So be sure to clear your calendars for this Friday, October 23 at 9PM Eastern!

Time: 9 PM Eastern, 8 PM Central, 7PM Mountain, 6 PM Pacific, 5 PM Alaska, 3 PM Hawaii
Please Note: If your location doesn't do daylight savings, the time listed above might be an hour off. We're on Daylight Savings time right now. I've already adjusted for Hawaii.

How our release parties work: On release day, I'll post a Set Reveals Thread with the schedule of events for the party.

{ETA: Link to Set Reveals & Winners Announcement thread}

This lists the times that each set and the winners announcements will be made during the party. Then we just chat it up in this thread right here. I'll post pictures in the Reveals thread as each set is revealed and post a link here in the chat. As each set is revealed, our fabulous design team will be attaching pictures to this chat thread of the gorgeous samples they've created using the new sets. It's easy and a lot of fun, so if you're new just jump right in. We love making new friends!

Feel free to chat it up in this thread all week long, if you wish!

As always, there's lots of chances to win free stamps, so while you're waiting, you can pass the time by participating in our Release Week Challenges or checking out the sneak previews on the Verve Blog (starting Tuesday, Oct. 20)!

And if you just can't wait until Friday for a taste of the new stamps, we've got a free digi stamp set available for download only during release week (now through Oct. 23). Try it out and get a flavor for the new sets coming your way. Happy Stamping and "see ya" on Friday!

I can't wait, I luv a Verve party....wooohooo! *~*

[whiterockmama]

Yeah, another release party Can't wait. Thanks for the free digi set too, Julee

[Isaiah40:31]

Not sure I can 'attend' the release party but I'll be there to check out the new releases once they're up in the Verve store. Our kids haven't seen us for weeks and they're all coming home for the weekend (they missed Thanksgiving turkey and have asked if I could do turkey dinner for them) - so it's a good reason to have to miss... I was away for the last release too so I'm going to have quite a list for DH to choose from for Christmas gifts! And our Cdn $ has chosen a good time (for me anyway), to be so strong! Looking forward to the sneak peeks!

[strappystamper]

I'm ready to Par-Tay!!! Yippee!!

[starbucks_stamper]

Excited for my first release party...would you believe I just finished the 5 cards for the challenge? My table is a mess but what great sketches! And between the set I won from SSCC, a mini I didn't know I had and your digi stamp, I used all Verve! Need to take pictures and get them uploaded...Looking forward to the release and hope to be here...depends on son's basball.

[mkstampin74]

i'll be at my son's varsity football game most of the night, but i hope to be home in time to party towards the end with all of you guys!!!

you will D-I-E when you see all of the gorgeous new releases...just DIE! you don't want to miss it!

I geesh............. still like 12 1/2hr to go. I honestly can't wait and although you ladies blow me away with your speed chatting I am going to try to pry the computer from the grips of my husband/or child for a bit to participate. Julee has surely outdone herself this holiday season and I am sure I will want all those new sets after seeing peeks of them this week. So let the party begin............ soon, (open, open, open)

[redlynny]

I agree. I attended the last release and they chat fast!!! It's hard to keep up but, still fun!!

[babitoons]

So excited for the party, just hoping I will still be awake by it to be honest! LOL Its been a long week, but what a great way to end it! A Verve Party!

[Kathleen Curry]

I'm getting excited, too. The sneak peeks were fabulous, I know I'm going to want it all! Can't wait to see the whole sets. Counting down til 9pm!

Jackie- come on girlfriend you gotta stay up. I live for Friday nights and my goal is to always stay up till 2am (cause I can't any other day) and then I try it again on Saturday if I don't make it. I love Saturday mornings to sleep in. How many 40yo get to sleep till 10-11am? Just wondering........... but hey, I get alot of crafting done !

[dougnat]

[hbrown]

I agree - how much longer???? I am ready!!!!

[sf9erfan]

Breast cancer is such a hard thing. My mom is a survivor, and it wasn't the cancer that bothered her so much as the treatment and the aftermath!

Hit the F5 Key to refresh/update - it will be your best buddy tonite LOL!

At the top of the thread there is a tab on the right hand side that says "thread tools". Click on it and select unsubscribe from this thread. That should help you not have hundreds of emails in your inbox.

to refresh quick, hit the F5 button... and to turn off post notifications, go the the link on the left that says "My Subscriptions." It will take you to where you have already subscribed to the post and allow you to put a check in the box on the right of the subscription, then scroll down and put the option box to NO EMAIL NOTIFICATIONS. This will insure you won't get emails at all from this thread!

[Scraphappily]

Mercy- yeah, yours and the mojo monday got left out of my list. I am just glad I am migraine free tonight!

[ravengirl]

I'll be in and out of tonight's party as it coincides with the family dinner time! I slacked on dinner last night, so I feel like I have to make up for it tonight!
