And then there's Asela. I have been a fan of hers for several years now. Her coloring is always gorgeous. I'm so thankful when she takes the time to describe in detail her coloring steps. I've learned a lot from her - wouldn't it be awesome to take a coloring class from her?! Her illustration style is so classy and she is a great addition to GinaK Designs.

So, how about some blog candy to celebrate my design team news!
Since this is the first time I've ever done this how about we make the question nice and easy....
What is your favorite GinaK Designs stamp set?
hmmm... maybe that's harder than I thought! I love them all, but if I had to choose only one, I think I'd pick Just Keep Swimming because I love those sea critters! They're perfect for any coloring medium!
Comment on this post with your favorite GinaK Stamp set by Monday, July 28th at 7 PM and I'll choose one random winner to receive the stamp set of their choice.
Thanks for stopping by!
Jessica
Looks like I'm the first commenter! I guess I'm lucky that I get to stay up late since I'm on Hawaii time... Anyway, I can't pick just ONE fav. set! But it's a toss up between Just so Hoppy and Just so Hippy. Then again, the new free with 3 is adorable...
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jessica!! I am so thrilled for you (and the rest of us). You are so talented and and so deserve it.
ReplyDeleteTough to pick a favorite. I only have two sets so far. I will have to say Botanical Dreams is my fave. But they are all so wonderful.
Congratulations Jessica!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you. As you already know also jealous of your perfect job!LOL! Seriously, you deserve this and I can not wait to see your designs.
I really like so many of the stamp sets but I have to say that right now the 'Flowers for Daisy' set is my favorite. The cause behind it means so much to me. I will definitely be stopping in today to buy it.
Congrats Jessica - it is so cool to be on her design team!...... Anyway, I love so many of her stamps, but the one I have been using most lately is "You are my sunshine", maybe because it summer and I want to be at the beach and not the middle of sage brush country!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jessica!!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite set is "How sweet it is". Gina is so generous, I love that set because it's designed to raise money for diabetes research.
Yeah YOU! Congratulations my friend... I'm so excited for you. So well deserved - you know I think you're madly talented, and of course the sweetest girl ever!
ReplyDelete((hugs!!)
I love all the stamps. I guess my favorite would be Just so Hippy. Every time I see one of those little critters, it puts a smile on my face.
ReplyDeleteCharlene
Congratulations Jessica! How very exciting for you!
ReplyDeleteI love animal stamps so my favs naturally run to Owl Always Love You, then a close second would be the Hippy sets, but they are all adorable! And of course I'm getting old enough to use the You Know You're Old When set and get away with it!! Ha!
Congratulations again and may the Lord continue to bless you and work through you in this wonderful new opportunity.
Blessings,
Mother Hen

My favorite stamp set from Gina K would have to be Owl always love you....unfortunatly I do not own many stamps, and I am an avid blog watcher, and I have seen how Markies mom has used hers and I love the owl! So I am hoping to start collecting more stamps and gina K is on my top list!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on joining the design team! I can't wait to see your designs! My favorite is Owl Always Love You. Have a great weekend!

whoa! all these cards are great! congratulations on the Sr Design Team position! I think ALL of Melanie's sets are my favorite but I think if I have to choose one it's Little Tees-it is SO unique and I know it's going to be SO fun to create with.
ReplyDeleteI am very much looking forward to getting to "know" you, Jessica! Good for you, and congratulations! As far as the stamp set goes...well, that's difficult, but I'm very partial to the Just so Hoppy set. Blessings!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the DT Jessica--how exciting for you! I love all the Gina K sets, but the two I use the most are "Jumping for Joy" and "Retro Boutique"--love 'em!!

ReplyDeleteI collect turtles, so I have to say Whatever Floats Your Boat is my newest favorite. There are so many I like, but this is my "current" fave.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations Jessica! If I had to pick a favorite I'd have to say Flowers for Daisy!
ReplyDeleteHmm...right now it's Retro Boutique, but next week it will be the T-shirt!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to you on the DT. You are such a nice person and a great teacher. I think my favorite stamps are "How Sweet it Is."

Congratulations Jessica! I am so happy for you! Well, happy for all of us, too, since your work is so amazing!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite Gina K set in my heart is the Autism set. It is the first set I got from Gina. I have a dd with Asperger Syndrome/mild autism, so this one really touched my heart. My NEW favorite.... hmmmm....so many that I want but don't have yet....I think I'd say Flowers for Daisy. Or one of many others! LOL!
Since I am relatively new to Gina K Designs, I would have to pick one of the latest sets. I really, really love Botanical Dreams. I am a sucker for flowers! Congrats on your appointment to the Design Team. I am looking forward to seeing your work. I have just been introduced to you via Gina K and Melanie's blog and you have such lovely work!
ReplyDeleteWoooooooooooooohoooooooooooo!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, Jessica! Gina has been so tickled with your work at her store ... this is much overdue!
How to choose a fav Gina K set? eeeeeek! I'll say "Punchy Words". Why? Because it can stand alone for a quick card to go, and it can work with oh so many other sets! I consider it a "must"!
Have a sweet week!
Tex
Congratulations Jessica ... fun to actually meet you yesterday as you helped us make the two cards!!! We had a blast and enjoyed "enabling" our new friend to scrapping/card making!!!
ReplyDeleteGood luck and continue to exhibit the enthusiasm we saw firsthand yesterday!!!!
Jessica congratulations on becoming part of the design team!
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard picking just one set from GinaK, but I think I'd have to say 'Just so Hippy'. It's the 1st set that I kept noticing on SCS which led me to GinaK and I love using it...it makes me smile!
Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteI think my fave is Botanical Dreams...the images re great.
Charmaine
Congrats, Jessica! So happy for you!
ReplyDeleteMy fave set is Flowers for Daisy! I love sets that include Bible verses, and help a good cause! Thanks for the chance to win!
You're right...Hard to choose one set. At this moment I'm in love with Owl Always Love You! They have to be the cutest owls out there. Congrats Jessica!! Love your work!
ReplyDeleteCongraulations to you! I found your blog through Melanie's. I am a big fan of Gina K Designs, so I look very forward to seeing your wonderful creations. My favorite set is Just So Hippy--the giraffe is an all-time favorite!
ReplyDeleteWow, Congrats Jessica! There are so many sets that are awesome it's hard to pick but if you twisted my arm I'd have to say Botanical Dream. I love the words and the flower/plant images in that set.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! So hard to pick just one but I'm about to do alot of tins so I will be getting Whats in your tin, set 1 pretty soon. Thanks so much for the candy!
ReplyDeleteHi, Jessica - Kay from Madison here. Loved the cards we made at the Stop and Stamp class yesterday! Congrats on joining the design team!
ReplyDeleteNow - my favorite Gina K. set -- hmm -- I love them all but I have to say I love Retro Boutique with Owl Always Love You as a close second. It is SO hard to pick since all of the sets are great!
I'm soooo geeked for you!!! All of your cards are so cool...
ReplyDeleteHmmm, my favorite set??? Just Be-Claws... (why? Well.... just be-claws!)
Congrats on being Senior Designer for Gina K's..I have been admiring your work for the past few weeks. I am new to stamping. I am just learning. Mine are so simple compared to yours.
ReplyDeleteI must so, since I am new, I will have to go with Gina K's 'Flowers for Daisy'. I like daisies but I most of all like the cause. :-)
Have a great evening
JOY
ps..sorry but how do I subscribe to your newsletter? couldn't find the link to click on. thnx
ReplyDeleteHi there,
ReplyDeleteI love all the Kindred Spirits stamps... have lots of those.
Otherwise, my two new favs are the Daisy set (best daisy I've seen) AND the new Tee's Set. LOVE!
Congrats on your design team nod. Emily
Right now I am just lovin' the Little Tee set. I saw a similar set a year or so ago but this one is so much more versatile.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the promotion! I am a 3d project person, so the Gina K set I use the most is Melanie's What's in your tin. But, there are so many awesome sets to pick from, that it's hard to pick just one! :-)
ReplyDeleteYay! Congratulations. And now I can put a face to the name Gina speaks so highly of. Are you serious? ONE fave? Well, Baskets of Happiness is definitely one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteIt's so hard to pick a favorite. Retro Boutique was one of my favorites but I really love the new Flowers for Daisy...
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what you design - more wonderful ideas!
I love the Daisy set that just came out...
ReplyDeleteI love so many of the sets but my fav has be Botanical Dreams.
ReplyDeleteI'm sooo happy for you! I know you will do well as a designer, you totally deserve this (it's about time!) :)
ReplyDeleteCongrats!
I love ALL the sets, but Botanical Dreams is definitely my fav - I've worn my set out!
