Thank you Challenge Team Blog Hop

Tonight we are having a special blog hop to thank our recently retired StampTV Challenge Hostess Team members: 

• Tina Gilliland: Color
• Karen Knegten: Anything but a Card
• Vicki Dutcher: Sketch
• Sharri Seffens: Blast from the Past

These 4 designers have provided StampTV with a challenge each week during the months of March, April, and May, which totals up to 13 challenges!  To view each of their challenges in one area, click on their names and it will direct you to their Idea Center Inspiration Page.



Even better, we have a special StampTV Challenge Magazine Volume 2* located on the Freebie Tab, where all 52 of their challenges are shared in a download PDF that you can save to your computer and print out at your leisure!  *We will be doing a similar magazine for our first Challenge Hostess team as well in the near future, so watch for that soon.



To honor the team a bit more, several GinaK Designers are joining together in a special thank you blog hop and would like to invite you to join us!  After visiting the links below, please check out this discussion on StampTV and share a favorite card you've made in the past or a new one you're inspired to make using one of the challenges from any four of the challenge hostesses.

 I loved Tina's color Challenges.  Each week Tina picked the most beautiful color combination's.  I wish I had been able to join in her challenges every week.  For my card I picked Tina's challenge STVCCTG4, colors purple, violet and white.

 

Karen came up with the most creative challenges for the Anything But a Card Challenge each week.  Even though I was only able to make a few projects for Karen's challenges I sure checked them out each week and tried to fit in as many as I could.  I picked Karen's challenge STVABCKK10 to make a matchbook and I tucked a little something sweet inside!
Vicki's sketches each week were so creative and inspiring. This has always been one of my favorite challenges to do.  For Vicki's challenge I picked STVSCVD13.




Sharri's Blast From The Past Challenges were always fun.  I loved revising some of my favorite techniques that I may not have done in awhile.  I was also able to try a few new ones I hadn't done before.  Again I didn't get to play along nearly as much as I would have liked, something called a job keep getting in the way.  I chose Sharri's challenge STVBPSLS03 to use sewing on a card.  I didn't get to do this one while Sharri was a hostess, but have tried it since and love it!!

I would like to give a HUGE Thank You to all of these wonderful and fabulous talented ladies for all of your hard work. Hugs
to you all!!

Now if you have managed to stick it out all the way to the end, thank you. Make sure you check out the rest of the ladies blogs that are linked above I am sure you will not be disappointed.
