Gina K Thank You Blog Hop, for...

..our retiring Challenge Hostesses from STV! We have had some wonderful hostesses for the last 3 months, that have brought us such awesome and fun challenges! So a bunch of us senior DT decided to do a little something in a way of honoring them. Also, our DT coordinator, Jessica, has created an area that has all of the hostesses a page, with their different challenges...allll in ONE place! You can even download it if you want, she has also put them alll into PDF format ... Here is a link to that area:

Tonight several GinaK Designs designers are joining together to host a special thank you blog hop to our recently retired StampTV Challenge Hostess Team. The four designers we're honoring tonight have provided weekly challenges for the STV members for the entire months of December, January, and February and we are so thankful for their inspiration and hard work!

• Shannon Bracken: Monday's Color Challenge


• Carolina Buchting: Tuesday's Anything but a Card Challenge


• Jennie Harper: Thursday's Sketch Challenge


• Selma Stevenson: Friday's Blast from the Past Challenge

Each participating designer was asked to choose one challenge shared during the past 3 months and make a card to share on their blogs tonight as well as to send that card to the hostess.
