Gina K Designs DT Hop - Day 1




The Design Team for Gina K. Designs welcomes you to another fabulous Inspiration Blog Hop!!! Gina and the Design Team will inspire you with many beautiful ideas! And as you hop through their blogs, make sure to leave a comment on each of them because we will choose a few random comments and those stampers will each win a grab bag of deeply etched, pre-cut Gina K. Designs stamps! To see the full list of winners check the Big News forum at Stamp TV a couple of days after the hops!!

Today we are featuring Basket Additions 3 , illustrated by Melanie Muenchinger;


and using this set in an unexpected way [surprised myself! LOL]

This spider just makes me smile -- :)


We are also featuring Country Roads, illustrated by Theresa;

[A Sneak peek of my Color Challenge over at SCS; Turquoise, Navy and Blue with a neutral and a dessert of a swirl, either stamped, or punched.]

and, another card using this set;

I have more fun using water spritzing on cards!  I love the effect and it works for a  great masculine card too.

This is the end of the hop, Day 1.  I will be back Tuesday and Wednesday also.  If you are just popping in, here is a list of today's participating DT's:

 Thanks for stopping by~

Around here school starts this Thurs. So for your first card I would have stamped/wrote "Spooky" on the inside. Now this comes from someone who remembers school starting the day after Labor Day..but then we were in school til almost the end of June too.
I like your cards.
