Stamp TV Center Stage Blog Hop!

Hello Stampers~

Thank you so much for all of your well-wishes and prayers over the last couple of days!  I feel so loved! :)

Welcome to our first Center Stage Spotlight Design Team Blog Hop! Jessica Fick, the Design Team Coordinator for GinaK Designs, has issued a challenge to all of the past and present team CSS team members to make a Christmas card with one of these sketches:

 

My sample is made with Rupa's Winter Friends set.  Aren't those penguins adorable?  The kids and I just watched Happy Feet again, and it inspired me to use this sweet set.

Here's the full card recipe:

Stamps:  Winter Friends

Papers:  Pure Luxury White, Fresh Asparagus, Eskimo Kisses Designer Papers (Basic Grey)

Inks:  Memento Tuxedo Black, Copic Markers

Accessories:  Circle Nestabilites, Martha Stewart Snowflake Border Punch, White Grosgrain Ribbon (Stamp TV Kit), Sparkly Foam Snowflakes, Quickie Glue Pen, Crystal Glitter
