Hello and welcome to another StampTV CSS blog Hop. You should have arrived from the very talented
Betty's blog. If you get lost along the way you can get the complete blog hop list at
StampTV.
This month Melissa provide us with this wonderful sketch.
I was so inspired by this sketch that I made three cards. I
also have new
Gina K Stamps in the house that I have not been able to
play with. For my first two cards I used
Theresa's newest set
Tropical Nature.
For my last card I stepped away from the tropical theme and used
Melanie's newest set
Pretty Patterns and the sentiment from
Whimsical Wishes. If you look closely at the second card you will notice that I used Pretty Patterns on it as well.
Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on Tuesday morning (July 17), we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs and that person will receive a huge grab bag of fabulous Gina K. Designs Stamps! Good Luck!!
Your next stop is the incredibly talented
Cheri. Thank you for stopping by.
