Thank You blog hop for the Retiring STV Challenge Hostesses

[Jessica Fick]

Tonight at 10pm central, the new StampTV Challenge Hostess Team and several GinaK Designers are joining together to host a very special thank you blog hop event for our recently retired STV Challenge Team 2.

• Tina Gilliland: Color
• Karen Knegten: Anything but a Card
• Vicki Dutcher: Sketch
• Sharri Seffens: Blast from the Past

These 4 designers have provided StampTV with a challenge each week during the months of March, April, and May, which totals up to 13 challenges!  To view each of their challenges in one area, click on their names and it will direct you to their Idea Center Inspiration Page.

We've all been so inspired by the weekly challenges each of them have shared with us and would like to invite you to join us in thanking them for their hard work and dedication to StampTV for their 3 month design team term.  

Please add a favorite project or card that you've made inspired by at least one of the hostesses above to this discussion!  You can make a new card to share, or go through your gallery and choose one that you've made in the past while participating in the weekly challenges.  When you share your photo or link, let us know who was the hostess and what the challenge was that you used for your project.

Thanks again, Tina, Karen, Vicki, and Sharri, for your inspiration!  We are so thankful for your hard work for all of us!

Thanks Sharri, Tina, Vicki and Karen for working so hard on your challenges for us all. I didn't get to do too many of them, but I do love going back through them all for inspiration. I actually stamped yesterday and will be uploading some creations that I made just for you guys. Stay tuned.

The last three challenge months with Vicki, Tina, Sharri and Karen were totally awesome! I'm going to add a couple (I hope) of cards to the blog tonight - it's been a rough week taking care of DM, but I didn't want to miss the opportunity to thank you ladies for your fantastic inspiration. My intention was to make something for each of you, and I will, it just may not get posted tonight.

YES!!!!!!!!!!! You are were just so awesomely creative and talented and we so very much appreciate all your hard work as well as the gorgeous eye candy!!!!!!!!!!!

[Vicki Dutcher, GKD DT]

I had fun being a hostess and I loved the challenges of my fellow hostesses, so I made EACH of them a NEW card and I will be mailing it to them!! Wanna see???.............well, okay..............lol
This one is for Karen - I so enjoyed all her projects. I have to say this bookmark was my favorite - I have made many of these since her challenge! Thanks so much Karen for getting me away from "just cards"

This one I made from Tina's challenge. Kraft, red and white are just so fabulous together. Again, I have used this combination more than once. Tina's color challenges were always ones that I loved. Her taste and mine...definitely on the same page! Thanks Tina!

And my last one is for Sharri. I didn't get as many of her challenges done as I should have - my bad - but I did like the challenge of the few I did manage to get done. I used the colored embossing folder. Betcha ya thought this was Vintage Background huh? Nope - I got a dotted embossing folder! and YES I love my dots!

Ladies- thank you so much for your challenges! They were fabulous and fun to do!! I hope you enjoy your cards!!

Sincerely,
Vicki
