CSS Inspiration Hop

Hello and welcome to our final blog hop as the CSS Alumni Group. For our final hop we have a bright and snowy photo to use as our inspiration.


I took the colors and the abundant snow as my inspiration and used an older set called Winter Friends to make this Christmas card.



I hope you have time to travel the entire blog hop. Hopefully you came from Lori McAree's blog. If not, please start at the beginning over at StampTV and stop by all the CSS Alumni member's blogs to see how they were inspired by our snowy photo.

And...

Make sure to leave a comment as you go along because we will choose a random comment and that stamper will win a grab bag of Gina K. Designs products! Look for the announcement on Tuesday, December 24.

If you came from Lori's blog then your next stop is...

Awesome card - my brother has a set of rental cabins in Wyoming that look just like these :)I cant seem to convince the DH to visit in the winter though - he doesn't do the cold anymore....
