Gina K. Designs March 2018 Preview Day One!





Hey Y'all!  Glad you stopped by today!  You should have hopped from Arjita Singh's Blog!





And WELCOME!  to our March release blog hop with some awesome peaks/full cards for this release!  We are doing things just a tad different this month.  We will be showing you our creations on these Blog Hops (next 3 days) March 27th, 28th and 29th, all leading up to the release party Thursday night at 7PM EST sharp!  AND you need to get your comments in these next few days!  Because Gina is giving away a $50 gift certificate for the 3 bloghop days and the winner will be announced at the Release Party Thursday night!  So HURRY!  And then be sure to come on to our Release Party so see if you are one of the lucky ones!

Ok, up today we are showcasing a new set by Theresa Momber called Framescapes - Window of Wishes.  I am so loving these Framescapes of Theresa's!  Here is what I did for today:

I created a little view form the window!  :D  I watercolored the sky and the curtains are 'hung' from a curtain rod I made of soft flex wire(will not hurt you! ).  The curtains are paper pieced form a Gina K. designer paper.  I then colored the flowers/shelf and window frame with copics.  This reminds me of my grandma's kitchen view!  They had a farm and about all you saw out her kitchen windows were trees...and chickens, lol!  And I do plan on showing a quick tutorial on how I made the cloudy sky!  I used the best two paint brushes in the world!  :D

Ok, ready for more awesome eye candy!?  Your next hop is to 

And once again, dont forget to comment!  You only have these 3 blog hop days to do so for your chance to win that gift certificate!
