    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  9. I loved the reverse topper card (the froggie) what a BRILLIANT idea!!

    Your blog is fab, I read you every day. :)

  10. Oh, and for my second comment, I would love to see a flamingo and/or a polar bear on a future set - those are some of my favorites when I stamp. :)

  11. I don't "officially" subscribe to your blog, but I *do* have you as a subscription within my Google Reader. does that count?

    I love your stamps, and tutorials. Unfortunately, living in Canada, I *still* don't have your hoppy stamps to play with. I hope they come soon because Easter is coming quick I and want to make some stellar cards with your great stamps.

    I think my favourite tutorial so far is the Valentine's day candy box with the hippy giraffe. It was really cute, and extremely easy to duplicate. I love the look, and will be using this again as a simple, yet special and fun way to give candy and other small treats.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Wow! That's awesome! I sub to your blog via Google Reader! Does that count? I'd love, love love an elephant! I just think they're so cute and can be used for ANYTHING!

    ReplyDelete
  13. My second one.. I LOVE the Frog Reverse Topper AND the tutorial! I haven't made one of those yet but your tutorial gave me cofidence to try! Thanks for your sharing your creativity!

    ReplyDelete
  14. Congratulations on your milestone. I'm now subscribed to your blog. I'd love to see a rooster in a future set. I have a friend who collects them and it's very hard to find any rooster stamps. Thanks for the chance to win.

  16. Well... let's see. My fave post has to be the Froggy went a Courtin.. It's stunning. I love all the details you put into it. It's a winner you should enter it in contests, as you should with the rest of your cards.. too cute. But that's only my fave of your card posts, my fave of your other posts is the last one before this one with your son's "pondering" photo. I just love how deep in thought he looks and the sunsest is magnificent. We always say that our youngest son is an old man trapped in a little boy's body..

  20. 2nd comment..

    I think I would most like to see a yorkie(partial I own one) I think it would blend perfectly with the beautiful faces you illustrate on your animals and not to mention the great sayings you could create with it,or a koala, or how about a snake( I know different direction but again great sayings to go with it and if anyone can make a snake cute you can!!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. I love the giraffe one the best. Hope you come out with some bird stamps.

    ReplyDelete
  22. third comment...

    I love that your sets are soo substantial. You get so much for your money when purchasing one of your sets so I would guess that there would be4 or 5 animals in your next set. Keep them coming Melanie. The are getting a lot of use here!!!

    ReplyDelete
  23. Love the hippy giraffe! Too dang adorable!

    I'll guess 3 animals?

    ReplyDelete
  30. I've been a stalker of your blog for a while now, lol. I'm so new to this I didn't know I could 'subscribe'. You are an awesome artist and I'd have to say my favorite by far is the froggy gone a courtin...that was adorable and so creative how you used him! My guess on how many animals? oh FOUR! and Id love to see some kitty cats! Thanks so much for sharing all you do with us!

    ReplyDelete
  31. Wow..20K in 2 months! My fav post is frog went a courtin, but they are all good so it's hard to choose just one.

    ReplyDelete
  32. I would guess that you will have 5 animals in your next release. How about a really cool Cow for the farm girl in me.

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh wow , one of my favorite bloggers I subscribe to is having card candy time . Big fan, I eagerly await for your blogs :)
    Your tutorials are great. Your inspirations are great.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Thinking back I'd say my favorite tutorial was the onsies. Of course the goodie holder ( can't recall the name) where it has four pockets ( like a candy dish ) is good too. The watering pail was cute too...oh ok Ilike it all LOL

    ReplyDelete
  35. Love your blog, I get so many ideas from it! Congrats on 20,000 hits- thats Amazing. I really love any of your projects that feature frogs- they are my fave! What about something with fish? We have African Cichlids and they are such pretty colors! Anyway, keep up the good work!

    ReplyDelete
  36. Wow Thank you for the chance at some cool blog candy! I have to say that one of my favorite posts was top of the heap because I like how you showed that one stamp can have a "tushy" side LOL. I think I would like for you to come up with a farm animal theme stamp set.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I love the frog card with 3 panels. I saw it on SCS when I was surfing the gallery and had to stop on over. It is so cute. I may have to get that stamp now.

    The frog reverse topper tutorial was great too. I haven't made it yet, but have it bookmarked so I can make it in the future.

    Thanks for the chance to win such an awesome prize.

    ReplyDelete
  38. #38I love your blog and regularly check it (at least once a day!) but I don't know if you'd say I'm a regular commenter. I hope so. Here is my first comment anyway.

    ReplyDelete
  39. awesome blog candy! Thanks for being so generous!
    Your card with the sunset is amazing........and so appropriate with the He Is Risen stamp set!

    ReplyDelete
  40. My favorites would be your tutorials for the baby onesie & the hippy candy box! Since I subscribe via your RSS feed, I'm leaving one more comment below.

    ReplyDelete
  41. 39. I'm leaving another comment because I just subscribed to your blog. I never subscribed before because I check the blog so often, that usually I don't get an update email until after I've already seen the post!

    ReplyDelete
  42. I'm supposed to guess how many animals in your next set... hmmmm... how about 3! In the near future I'd love to see a set with penguins!

    ReplyDelete
  43. Geez, I tried to number my comment earlier, but in the time i typed it and sent it, 2 other comments were posted and my numbering was off! You have a great blog, so I don't blame em! My favorite projects have been the ones you do with your new stamp sets. Specifically I LOVE Froggy went a courtin' and the onesies! I think maybe you'll have 4 more animals on your next stamp release, and I'd love to see a dog (I love dogs) or some cute lizards and dinos (for boys). But if it's from you, I'm sure it will be great and I'll add it to my "Gina K. Wish List" on my blog!

    ReplyDelete
  44. Melanie ~ a couple of favorites - the recent card where you used your own photo was just gorgeous, and the 3 part frog diving for flowers was great! I would LOVE to see a llama ~ my personal favorite!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Oh that's some delicious blog candy!!
    post number one :)

    ReplyDelete
  46. Animals in your next release, hmmmm, hopefully FOUR! I love your critters :)
    I think my fav tutorial is the one with the frog hopper, I've never done a card like that but admired them and now with your wonderful pictures I know what to do!

    ReplyDelete
  47. I just love the "Frog went a courtin" card...actually, they're all sooooo cute! I would love to see a collection of your cute frogs...and would love to see some cute turtles too!!Congrats on you blog!

    ReplyDelete
  48. I liked the lamp. :D I loved that idea. You could use it for kids or more sophisticated decor.

    My guess for the next animals in numbers would be....4.

    In my next comment I will tell you which animals I'd like to see next. :D

    ReplyDelete
  49. WOO HOO; you're not kidding when you say blog candy eh?

Mary Pickett #53

    ReplyDelete
  54. Here's my second comment to your blog candy post. I wanted to also say that I like how you copied the picture of your son at the beach and used the sunset for your Easter card. Good eye and way to think outside of the box! Mary Pickett #54

    ReplyDelete
  55. This is my 2nd comment. I would like to see some fish. . .i know it's not an animal, but i think fish would be great!

    ReplyDelete
  66. Here's my first comment! i just love your blog! I subscribe to it, so I won't miss any creativity!

    For your first question, what was my favorite project that you've made? Well, I think I will have to say your clear box with the giraffe. That blew me away! I want those boxes just so I can do that same thing!

    ReplyDelete
  67. On to my second comment!

    The number of animals in your next release? Maybe 7? No matter what, I'll have to have it!

    ReplyDelete
  68. Ok, last comment! What animal would I like to see in the future? How about a bear? You can turn it into a teddybear, polar bear, panda bear, grizzly bear. Whatever?! I'm all about versatility, so thought this would be pretty cool. And I haven't seen many bears among the other stamp co.'s.

    ReplyDelete
  69. Yay! What awesome blog candy! I subscribe, and I love your inspiring posts! The stamped onesies was my favorite! I have yet to make one, but I plan to do so when my cousin's kid comes along.

    ReplyDelete
  80. I subscribe to your BLOG with Google reader and I am so glad I do. I don't want to miss anything.

    ReplyDelete
  81. I love seeing how you use your stamp sets. And also the tip sheets you post for your sets. reading your tips opens my mind to ideas of my own.

    As to future animals I would love to see pets. Dogs, cats, gold fish etc.

    ReplyDelete
  82. I have really enjoyed the cards that you have pieced the main character...loved the frogs, bunny etc.
    They're "cute" but also catch the eye because they leap (no pun intended) off the page.

    ReplyDelete
  83. Love all your hippies and hoppies, and the wonderful things you do with them! Your tutorials are wonderful. How about some kitties in the future?

    ReplyDelete
  84. This is my second comment as a subscriber....
    How about a Chihauhua with attitude? They're little but they don't know it and they're so ugly, they're cute. They remind me of a cat in a dog body!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. This is my very first time to your blog - your animals are just the cutest. I love the Froggy went a courtin card - adorable! I fairly new to blogging and Gina K designs are very new to me!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Your ideas are always fresh and amazing - I am always amazed at your creations "come alive" with your stamping touch! Your "hoppy" designs are adorable - how about things that fly next? Ladybugs, dragonflies, butterflies? Thanks for doing such awesome blog candy - unbelievable what you are giving away!!

    ReplyDelete
  87. Wow. What great blog candy. I absolutely love your blog and stamps. My favourite project is "Hips and Hugs" 'cause I adore the hippo stamp. It is my favourite!

    ReplyDelete
  88. I have you in my Reader and I would like rodent stamps.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Hmm, hard to pick a favorite but I guess it would be the 3-panel frog "story."
    I second the vote for fish!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Oh, also, I subscribe via Google Reader. I'm predicting 10 stamps (including words, etc.)
    And that's great blog candy!

    ReplyDelete
  91. Waow! Now that's what I call a blog candy! Look at all those ribbons *eyes glimmer*...
    Thanks for the opportunity!♥

    ReplyDelete
  92. Second post!!! Congrats on the success of your blog but it's well deserved!
    I would say 4 animals in your next set... and I hope one day to see a little zebra in there!!!

    Also if I can suggest it I would love to see babies with their moms (animals). The other day I had this idea for a pregnancy card with the hippo having a little hippo in its belly...I tried it and it looked a little creepy so I put it aside for now, LOL... but I love babies animals with their mom (or Dad BTW!!)

  98. I would guess that you will have a horse :) okay, just wishful thinking. Maybe an elephant. I am sure any animal you create will have the same charm and character that the others have.

  99. my favorite project is umbrella (ella, ella, ella) bunny

    awesome blog, awesome giveaway

    ReplyDelete
  100. WOW Gina what a wonderful bag of goodies you have to give away here. There are so many fun projects I really don't have a fav. I enjoy brownsing the blog and have it listed on my blog so I have quick access to it day. I have learned so much since blogging and find so many new sketch, turtorials,etc.
    I am sorta hopeing for a turtle in the next release. I would love to see a really cool turtle on his back with the sentiment "hope you are back on your feet again soon", "just laying around", "have a lazy kinda day".
    Anyway just some thoughts.

  108. I have both your sets, but I have not had the opportunity to play with the just so hoppy set. My son is such an animal lover, and I really appreciate the versatility in your sets. My 3 year old son would love to see an elephant stamp. I would love to see a cute Koala stamp. I love all of your tutorials, and I am learning quite a bit about stamping, being rather new to the whole thing.

  127. woah, hold the phone! This is a smorgasboard of stamping yummies! And I'm hungry, hehe! Do I have to pick just one fave? Choices, choices! I think that the bunny card I recieved from you is the best because it's mine! It is now referred to as *my precious* and it may be framed for sentimental purposes. Yes, I am a bit of a loon, but this is perfectly sensible. My husband is considering committing me...is there stampers rehab? Oh, who cares! The first step is acknowledging you need help and I just haven't hit my rock bottom yet, snort! I'm going to think more about what I think your next set should include and post again! hugs!

  128. Unbelievable to have so many hits in such a short time. Know what that means? You are a great stamper and please love to see what you create. Keep it up.

  129. Besides the fact that I LOVE your cards and the bright color combos you use, the thing that I enjoy most about your blog is that I find I always have a smile on my face when I view it. There is something about your creations that make me feel happy:)

  136. I just love your overall creativity. It's hard to pick a favorite because it's all good!!

    ReplyDelete
  139. I love all your projects since they are so cheerful so I can't pick a favorite. I hope you include some fish, a zebra, oh and a cute tiger would be just grrreat!

  145. Wow, Melanie, it is hard to pick a favorite . . . because I LOVE THEM ALL! I just purchased your Hippy set, and I really LOVE the frog on the Hoppy set. I will be buying him too! I love the beach scene in your card below! Thanks for a chance to win some great blog candy.

    ReplyDelete
  146. I am guessing your next set will have 5 animals (no real reason--just a guess).

    ReplyDelete
  147. I like them all, it's hard to picka favorite!

    I wish I had just a smidgen of your talent! Very creative!

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  148. Yummy! I can always use some fat free candy! :o) I really liked the onesie card... but you always come up with some 'clever' idea! I think you will have 5 animals in your new set... maybe some kind of a 'cat'... TFS!

    ReplyDelete
  149. The giraffe is my favorite. I love the hippo too..... your work is incredible and I am so glad that you are blogging! Thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  150. Here is my second comment. I think that there should be dogs.... cute dogs with some cute sayings.

    ReplyDelete
  151. Hello and Thanks! Thanks for your blog and the creativity it will inspire in my future! Being new to papercrafting and just now trying to accumulate supplies, I have only recently discovered your blog and think my favorite project is that cute, cute onesie! Having 2 grandchildren still wearing onesies and 2 on the way, I see my fair share of them and yours is perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  152. My second post.... forgot my animals guess... I think 6, because 6 pets isn't too unreasonable, is it?

    ReplyDelete
  153. I signed up so I can leave a second comment :-)

    You have 8 animals total on the next one. I hope my cute little baby elephant is in there.

    ReplyDelete
  154. I love your blog! Hmmmmm...I'll guess that there are 7 animals in your next set----I guess I should have read all of the entries to see if I'm right!! :) Thanks for your generosity!

    ReplyDelete
  155. For my 2nd comment----I'm looking back thru your entries.....I can't really pick a favorite, but I did like the "Frog Reverse Topper" entry---I love tutorials! I'm not too creative, but I love to "copy things"! So tutorials are right up my alley!

    ReplyDelete
  156. Well I left a message earlier...but got an error message, don't kknow if it will show up or not. Either way, I subscribed so I will make another comment. Fantastic blog-just found it. I really love the card that led me here. A real beauty. I would love to see a really nice elephant stamp. Congrats on your blog.

  159. I have loved all the samples you have on your blog. I have purchased both of your sets so far and love them. I especially love the giraffe and the frog. I loved the giraffe candy holder you made for Valentine's day. I would love to see some pinguins in a future set. Congrates on all the hits.

    ReplyDelete
  160. I just realized that I get to comment again because I do have you in my google reader (and can't WAIT for your blog to show up there every day). And if there were ever a time to be greedy THIS IS IT! I just read ALL of those wonderful comments. And I'm going to guess either 0 animals (if you're going a different direction for this one) or 8 - YOWSA! That would be A LOT!

    ReplyDelete
  161. If I have to pick one project I really liked recently I'd choose 'froggy went a courtin'.
    At this moment I'm into bird stamps, so one can never have enough of these!

    ReplyDelete
  162. And since I comment, apparently I can comment today too, LOL!!! I just was reading the other animals suggestions... I'd love to complete the zoo one day! :-) and I would LOVE (besides the ZEBRA that I know you will include at some point because you love them too ;-)) to see a KOALA and a PANDA, those are just the most adorable little things, and I don't think there are a lot of stamps available with those ! :-)

    ReplyDelete
  163. Count me in! Congrats on having such a terrific blog! I luv your blog & your stamps! My favorite is the onesie tutorial project, that is such a cool idea!!! My guess on how many animals in the next release is: lucky 7!!!

    ReplyDelete
  164. I am going to guess that there are 8 animals, and I really hope one is a pig!!! I would love a cow too. You should do a fish, and an ostrich too. It really doesn't matter, cause whatever you do, I am going to LOVE IT!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  165. Hmmm - you're an Austin gal right? How about an armadillo and/or a bat!! :-) Here's my favorite animal, and I would be SHOCKED if it ever appeared in a set... a golden lion tamarin! :-) Or a meerkat!!! :-) Sorry, I'm probably not being helpful... LOL

    ReplyDelete
  166. Love froggie went courtin'. I'm hoping your next set has an elephant, flamingo or panda. I'm guessing you will have 4 animals in the next set. Thanks for a chance at the blog candy.

  167. Yay, how fun Melanie! I think my favorite project you've posted was the Monkey in the bikini... or not in the bikini! :)

    I'm guessing there are 10 in your next set... but that's a lot of animals! or maybe they aren't animals at all... bwwwaaahhhaaahhaaa. *wink*

    I would love to see 'Northern' animals.... moose, bear, eagle, salmon, deer, etc. How fun would that be????

    ReplyDelete
  168. I think you will have 6 animals in your next set. I also think they will be either an ocean theme, birds or farm related. I check your blog every day as you are very inspirationel. I just tried your reverse topper card last night and it is so much fun and so unique from the plain old card format. Thanks for your wonderful sharing and ideas.

    ReplyDelete
  169. I am so happy to have found your blog,thanks to tyrymom!! Love your work you are awesome!!

    ReplyDelete
  170. Okay, third and final comment(the perks of stalking you!!LOL), I think you need to do a lion, porcupine, skunk, flamingo, possom, I could really go on!!! How bought a dog or cat, you haven't gone there yet!!! You could use my super cute(JK)dog Sophie as a model, if you can get her to sit still!!

    ReplyDelete
  171. It's me again,I love the set with the hippo and giraffe,it's on it's way to my house,I can't wait to get

    us northerners,boys and they're toys!!!

  173. I love your He Is Risen card. I never thought of cropping the scenery from a photo and use it on a card. Just brilliant.p

    ReplyDelete
  174. Here's my #2, but I don't know where I fit in but I just found your site yesterday. So I am not certain how many comments I can post. I love all your stamp designs. I am itching to purchase all of them, but I have a moratorium on purchasing any more stamps till I have an image of each of the stamps I already own. I am still searching for some more stamps I know I have but don't have the images stamped yet.

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  181. Maybe there aren't any animals in your next release... Maybe you will draw some cute little kids.... or animal mommy's and babies!!! that would be CUTE. I'm going to guess 12. This is my second entry - I LOVE your blog! I now have both Hippy and Hoppy and love to see your ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  182. I read your blog daily and have even entered your "Just so Hippy" card contest. My favorite post was probably the one with tutorial for the hippo who had swinging hips. Cute idea!

    ReplyDelete
  183. For my second post, I am going to guess that you will have 4 animals in the next set. I hope I am right. Can't wait to see what they are?!!!

    ReplyDelete
  184. And for my 3rd post, I want COWS!!! I love cows. I collect cows. Before I moved I had a cow kitchen. I also think that skunks, turtles, or gheckos would be cute.

    ReplyDelete
  185. I love the picture of your son, he must be a thinker, It looks like you caught him lost in thought at such a young age too cute! The card you made out of the sunset is amazing. WOW

    ReplyDelete
  186. My first comment: Congrats to you on your milestone! I'm guessing 5 animals I like all of your tutorials, but really liked the one where you showed us how to add little things using the monkey.
