Center Stage Spotlight Inspiration Blog Hop

It's time for another GinaK CenterStage Spotlight Team Blog Hop!

Each artist was asked to design their project by drawing inspiration from these photos of the AMAZING Christmas Cookie Bouquet the CSS Team sent to Gina's DT Coordinator Jessica Fick:

Welcome!  BUT, These cookies look way too good to eat....they're a work of art.  Congratulations Jess....and thank; you so deserved this cookie award.

Wine and Steroids

Now the title needs explanation.....I made two cards this weekend (trust me, this was good), one is for an anniversary card and the other was for fun.  I designed both for challenges at StampTV    for this week....I love entering these challenges, you win fabulous stamp sets.....I've won twice.  (Very Cool!)  


I Titled this card Dahlia on Steroids because I wanted to enter Gina K's "Container Garden"  challenge (who couldn't use a spring "pick-me-up" right about now?) and found this scrap of paper I had used months ago for something.  You can read the description on my StampTV page here .  It was fun creating and I hope you like both cards.  

My next card project this weekend was for a sketch challenge by Jennie at StampTV .  I'm using Copic markers for the first time and I spent a lot of time watching available videos on technique with these.  I'm a work in progress.....for sure.  (heeheehee)  By the way, I poured them red wind on their card - it's healthier.

Thanks for looking and have a GREAT week.
