Thank you again everyone for your comments and adding your gorgeous samples, I will be back to share some of my faves this weekend along with some comments from and thoughts from me on the hop! Winners, please email me your snail addys ASAP so I can put your prizes in the mail! Thank you!

It's hard for me to believe that since I started illustrating and blogging two years ago I have already released 25 stamp sets with GinaK Designs (and written over 700 GinaK posts!!)On this first day of the new year, I am celebrating this huge milestone with the help of 25 designers, showcasing ALL my sets, starting with my very first set, "Just So Hippy", going in order all the way up to my most recent "Tech Talk"! I have been SO excited about this, a retrospective not only of my designs but so many ladies who guest designed or won contests with them, it will be such a wonderful stroll down "memory lane"! I have offered many different styles over the the past two years so it's gong to be really fun seeing them all together (There is candy plus a chance to join in our hop at the end of this post!)

I'm eager to get hopping but I had to share something so here is a quick peek of a new pop up template I have coming out next week, I created this little oven to go with one of my favorite sets from 2008, "Have a Cookie"! All the baking images you see here are from that stamp set!

DP is October Afternoon Report Card. I'll be back next week with the full card sample and instructions for assembling the oven, it's very similar to process for putting together my desk template, you are going to love using this template with that the cookie set to make your own little pop up kitchens! :)
