Gina K New Release Blog Hop !!

Good Morning Stampers! I'm so excited to be posting today along with GinaK and all the other DT Memebers for GinaK Designs. This month includes another round of awesome stamp images available for you to purchase and play with as well. A total of 6 new sets are being released!! Gina K is hosting previews for these sets through Thursday until the sets go live and are available for purchase Thursday Night
Today Gina is previewing "Arranged with Love" and "Bug Me Anytime". There is also a "Bug Me Anytime" Digital Paper Pack as well!!

Here is my first project. I used the "Bug Me Anytime" Digi paper and stamp set designed by Nina B. I LOVE it. The digi pattern on this card printed in brown and I colored in the images with Prismacolor Pencils. I like this sheet the best because it is so versatile. You can colorize with any colors you want. The stamp set had 3 open flowers to design with, but this one was my favorite.

Isn't this stamp set and digi paper fun! I thought it would make a cute little mini album to store some summer memories in. I HAVE to tell you how I made the pages. First let me say I had never tried GinaK cardstock before ... holy smokes, this is some awesome cardstock. Very thick and sturdy enough to create pages for this mini album that I know will hold up. I cut an 8 1/2" x 11" sheet into 2 pieces = 4 1/4" x 11". Then I scored each piece at 5 1/2" and folded in half to create each page of the book. So each page is doubled and the fold line is along the outside line. Then I covered the pages with some of the colorful digi paper. It's ready to add my photo's and journeling later. Wouldn't this be a great gift.





I had so many idea's for this set that it was hard to decide what to go with. But here is my last project. Aren't the ladybugs adorable!! I love them!!

Now it's time to hop over to Gina's Blog. Don't forget to check out all the projects designed by the other DT Members:
And my fellow Guest DT Member - Carla
