Day 3 With Gina K

Awe! Can you believe it's time to say goodbye! *insert sad face here! ;) you know it's not a real goodbye! I am such a fan of Gina's! She can't get rid of me that easy! ;)

Today is, however, the last day of my guest design spot. I have truly had so much fun with this! What a fantastic week this has been! :)

I have two to share with you today. One Christmas and one Halloween. Here's my little Halloween card. This one uses Happy Haunting.

How fun are these little trick or treaters! LOVE them! I made this little fancy lable on black card stock to look somewhat like a chalk board. Then stamped the sentiment in white craft ink and went back with my sponge to add some more white. I love this giant orange ric rac. It's my fav and I am bummed that I am almost out! I need more! lol! I watercolored the little trick or treaters. They are so adorable! :)

Here's my next one. I didn't put a sentiment on the front of the card. I was thinking you could go in so many directions with this one. I am thinking that the inside should say naughty or nice! lol! Ok...sorry...it would be cute! You could give it to your hubby! Whoever you give it to and whatever the occasion you use it for it's one of my favs! I really love this little dress! I couldn't find my liquid applique so I opted for liquid pearls and then covered that with glitter. The ribbon is my new fav from Target.

That's it for me! I cannot believe that my three days are up! :( It's all good! I have so many Gina K's! I love her stuff! ;) You will see more from me! :)

Thank you again, Gina! I have truly had so much fun doing this! It has been my pleasure and honor to create samples for you! Thanks for being you and for all you do! You're amazing! :)

Day 2 With Gina K

Today is day two of my guest design spot with Gina K. I have really enjoyed working with Gina and her amazing stamps. This has truly been such an honor and I have had so much fun! I just have to say, these last couple of days have been beyond amazing. Thank you so very much for all of your kind words and well wishes. I feel so very lucky to be doing what I love. That there are so many wonderful friends out there just makes this even more amazing! Thank you! Thanks for being so kind and supportive! I really love sharing with you.


So how about I share my day two project? Asela Hopkins is one of the stamp designers over at Gina K. She's such an amazing talent. I really love her work and am so happy that she does what she does! I used Botanical Dreams for this one. This is such a fun set. I see so many possibilities with it. I love that! If I can pull lots of different occassions out of one set I am THRILLED! I used this set for Christmas.

The paper is retired from SU. I have a sad face even as I type that! This was one of my favorite Christmas packs. I hoarded it! ...which explains why I have any left at all! I picked this ribbon up at Target. Love when I find stuff like this. I got this HUGE roll for not a lot of money! It was in the 'wedding' stationary section. I picked up the roll of red which matches Real Red and the brown which matches Chocolate chip. Two of my favorite colors!

I colored the leaves with my copic markers and then went back with my red liquid pearls and just added some dots for berries. The ribbon isn't really tied all the way around. I glued a strip down and then used my two hole punch and punched a spot at the base of the leaves and tied a small strip there...just to look like it was tied through. I'm guessing that's about as clear as mud! Sorry about that.

Well, I am off to get the boys some breakfast and send them off to school. I will be back in a bit with todays BIC challenge. FUN one! Just want to say thank you again! I cannot promise I won't keep getting all mushy on you guys! This really has been such an amazing week and I am just feeling so blessed to be right here right now!

Post you all soon!

How Exciting!

Wowza! I have some really fun stuff to share with you guystoday! I don't even know where to begin! Hmmm.....

How about last February when I had the most amazing conversation with one of my stamping idols the one and only Gina K! Holy heck batman! She actually asked if I would like to be a Guest designer for her in September! OHMYGOSH!

Now you have to understand that back then I was doing not a whole lot other than challenges. I LOVE challenges! I was completley blown away that she even knew who I was! I was such a huge fan of hers and totally in love with her stamps! Guest designer! Are you kidding! Yes, yes, YES!

Well a secret lover I am not! Do you have any idea how hard it has been keeping this secret for this many months! Ugh! This is the kind of secret you like to have but I was ready to shout it from the roof tops! Happy that I finally can! You guys know that I met Gina when I was at CHA....

Isn't she just the cutest thing! Love her! And she's is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet!

Well, I have been working with some super cute stamps from Gina and over the next three days will be able to share those projects with you! The first is one of my favs. This is from Gina's Happy Haunting set. I so LOVE this set. It's got trick or treaters and this...the spookiest silhouette house ever! Getting this picture was quite a challenge! Not only because the lighting was so hard to try and figure out! (Thank you, Gina, for helping me out!) ...but also because my jelly beans kept mysteriously disappearing! I must have a house full of jelly belly gremlins! They're the cutest little gremlins you ever saw! Of course, being their mom makes me just a little biased!

Thanks for stopping by you guys! And a super big thanks to Gina! This was truly such an honor! I am so excited to have had the opportunity to work with you!

Post you all soon!
