StampTV CSS Alumni Inspiration Blog Hop

 Hello it is time for another StampTV CSS Alumni Blog Hop.  You should have arrived here from Betty's blog where I am sure she wowed you with her fabulous creation.  If you get lost you can find a complete list at StampTV.   For this hop Linda Payne has found this gorgeous photo for our inspiration.

Isn't that gorgeous???  I love the colors and texture.  When I looked at this photo I saw a snow covered tree which is what I based my card on.  Tell what do you see?  Inquiring minds what to know, LOL.

Here is my card.

I used the fun tree and sentiment from Joyful Holiday.  I started by sponging the background after I had masked off the snow covered ground. To use the wonderful colors from the photo I added rhinestones to the tree.

Make sure to leave a comment as you go along because we will choose a random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! Look for the announcement on Tuesday, December 24.
Your next stop is Cheri's blog where I am sure you has something beautiful to show you.


I am sad to say this will be the last CSS Alumni blog hop.  We all have enjoyed the hops for the last four years.  Wow can you believe that.  I am so very honored and humbled to have been part of this group of incredibly talented ladies.  Each and everyone of them has inspired and motivated me to learn and practice to be a better stamper and papercrafter.  All of us have cherished you stopping by our blogs to see our creations and to leaving comments.  Thank you for the the bottom of my heart. I have read every comment left here and hold them dear to my heart.  This has been a hard post to write as I am sad to see the hops coming to an end.  Rest assured though that I will continue to create with my beloved Gina K Design stamps.  I am sure that my fellow teamies will as well.  Hey you never know we may just surprise you once in awhile with a hop.  At least that would be my dream.  I would like to thank Gina for selecting me so long ago to be part of this fabulous group, it has been a dream.  Also thank you Carolina for organizing the hops every month.

Thank you for stopping by.
