Seasons Givings Blog Hop: Year 2

This blog candy is now closed.  Thanks to everyone who participated in the hop and commented!



Happy New year!  I was so honored to be invited by Latisha to be part of this year's Seasons Givings Blog Hop that she started last year, to gift blog readers with some crafty stuff as a thank you for being so faithful in your reading, following and comments. All participants in the hop are giving away candy today! I have been so blessed to be a part of Gina K. Designs the past six years and often supported by other companies with goodies to test, which always keeps my craft room overflowing, with more than I can possibly use.  Today, I have a huge package of stamping and papercrafting stuff I am giving away, which retails for more than $175, listed and pictured below!
          
1 Spellbinders die set
2 CardMaker issues
3 of my Gina K. Designs stamp sets
4 Memento ink pads
4 packs of product from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L
6 packs Gina K. Designs designer paper

Just leave a comment below to win!  You have until January 5 at 11 PM Central to enter.  I will draw and post a winner on January 6.  I hope you will subscribe to my blog if you have not already, as I have lots to share in 2014:  stamps, inspiration and more giveaways!  You can also find me on Facebook and Pinterest.  I have a Youtube channel as well where I share videos with my stamps.  This was something new for me in 2013, but will be a large part of my focus this year.  Expect new videos often!

Here are links to some of my favorite projects from 2013 (these aren't in the giveaway, I actually sent out these cards!)  The first is my first video, such a simple card and technique using A Year of Flowers 2.  Click the link below the photo to watch the short video.
   


 Here is a card I made using my set Inspiration Mosaic for my book Fabulous Stamped Frames that was released this year, I did a video for creating this card as well.

And here is one of my most popular cards on Pinterest this year, with my most recent stamp set from Gina K. Designs, Stamper's Favorites.



Finally, here is the main hop list, I counted over 80 peeps!  Good luck winning some fabulous goodies!




































  











  










  
  









  









I hope 2014 is your best and most blessed year yet!
