Welcome to a special blog hop we are calling Karing for Karen, a hop for a very special friend of ours, Karen Knegten. If you have been around the stamping community for any length of time at all, you might have run into her. She is always participating in challenges, offering us wonderful inspiration with her awesome talent!
About a month ago, Karen had to have surgery for two brain aneurysms. She is still in the hospital and we are having this blog hop to inspire more of you out there to send some cards to her AND to her family that is caring for her! We hope you feel inspired with our little hop! Below you will find the links to all of the girls participating...these are from the Center Stage Spotlight Alumni group and the Design Team from Gina K Designs. Enjoy, and be inspired to send a card or two! Here is the address for sending them:
Karen Knegten
c/o R.S.V.P. Rental Services
350 W. Northwest Highway
Barrington IL 60010
I chose a simple, bold, bright design...I wanted to use green because right now, Karen can't have flowers or greenery in her room and I thought maybe green popped with black would liven up that sterile environment!
Notes:
You Go Girl!
Gina K Pure Luxury card stock
GKD Berries and Vines designer paper
Memento Tuxedo Black ink
Copic markers
Copic blending paper
SU twill ribbon
Basic Grey button
The Twinery twine
Look at the wonderful cards that will be sent from these talented artists!
