CSS Alumni Bog Hop - It's a Treasure!

Gina K. Designs/StampTV
Center Stage Spotlight Alumni Blog Hop


If you arrived here from Geri's Blog, then you're in the right spot.
If not, you'll want to go back to StampTV so you won't miss a thing.


This time around we're introducing a new hop theme - Treasure Chest.
Each time we have one of these hops, the theme and/or challenge will change.

The theme for this hop is Animal Kingdom!


Enjoy your day! Bookmarks

Stamp Set: Hope Grows
Illustrator: Theresa Momber



There's snow bunny like you!

Stamp Set: Ready, Set, Snow!
Illustrator: Rupa Shevde

I used a Martha Stewart snowflake border punch
and layered three punched layers to get this look
on the snow bunny card.



From one old fossil to another!

Stamp Set: Dino-Mite
Illustrator: Theresa Momber



Make sure to leave a comment as you hop along because on
Tuesday morning (March 1st),
we will randomly choose one of the comments from all the blogs
who will get a stamp set of their choice valued up to $24.95!


Next up is Jennie's Blog
