Gina K Designs September Inspiration DT Blog Hop - Day 2



This is my sample from the Release Party last pm of Celebrate the Season, illustrated by Theresa Momber. Once again, Theresa has amazing images with her drawing talent! I always love Theresa's sets. And, the bigger words.. heaven! 

I so love butterflies! They are just an image of freedom to me. Color against the all white is something I have seen in blogland lately. I just love the way it makes the images pop.

And, let's not forget the fun, whimsical set Home Is, illustrated by our famous, Tami Mayberry.   I made a little goodie holder for a small Christmas Hostess gift.
























See -- it holds candy, but in my case nuts.  I planned on using m & m's, but.... yep, I ate em.




That's it for today's hop. I hope you enjoyed the eye candy today. Remember, tomorrow is the last day of September's Blog Hop.  Sure hope you come back!

Thanks for stopping by ~
Here is who is participating in today's hop:

Vicki, your cards are just beautiful! Your fall card is a fun card with all the added touches, the fallen leaves, the punched fall colored leaves and your own. Love it! I've never done color against just the white, but I love the look, it's very striking! It definitely says Celebrate life! You did a great job on all your creations!
Blessings~
