Our final day with Donna Baker
Please welcome Donna Baker in her new role:

Donna has accepted a position with Gina K. Designs as a senior design team member. I am just thrilled that Donna will continue to inspire you with beautiful Gina K. Designs cards, 3-D projects and more! Congratulations Donna, and welcome to the team.
This was the hardest project to keep under wraps around my house. When I first opened the box of projects I knew I had to hide this project for as long as I could because if Rina got to it, I would never see it again. Of course, it's hers now. Lol!
Donna created this sweet little book and calculator set for Rina using Melanie Muenchinger's stamp set called "Little Tees."

When I opened it up, I was in for a very glittery surprise!

Rina LOVES little notebooks and pens. And now she has her very own calculator too! Donna also created the cool ribbon bookmark for Rina to use when she's reading. She loves that!

This is a perfect gift idea for tween/teen girls or a busy mom who needs that notebook to keep track of daily errands! It's also great to have a little calculator in your purse to add up that grocery bill before you get to the check out line.
Project details:
Calculator - Notepad & bookmark
Set: Little Tees
Cardstock: DCWV glitter stack, white, Regal Rose,
Inks: palette ink (beaux arts red),
Accessories: Grungeboard, hodgepodge hardware, Rose ¼” & 5/8” grosgrain ribbon, jump ring, canvas white, polyshrink making memories fibers
I hope you have enjoyed this month's guest designer spot. Posted below is Donna's short and sweet bio. Look for more of Donna coming soon to our design team page at www.ginakdesigns.com and look for more of her beautiful work coming up in our next release!
Have a wonderful day!
Hugs,
Gina K.
From Donna Baker
"Hi Y’all! This Honorary Texan (transplant from Northern California) and husband of 11 years, John (Born & Bred Texan) are currently saving up to build our dream home on 2 ½ beautiful acres in the country!
I was thrilled to have been 'discovered' by Gina K. when I won Melanie's Just so Hoppy contest, March 10th and she sent me an email that read, 'uh we need to talk' and extended the invitation to be her guest designer for October!
I thought the time would drag keeping this secret but it went by fast! I enjoyed having 'grown' during those months as a stamper; serving as Guest Designer for Paper Pretties (July-Sept) and currently serving as designer for Starving Artistamps & Tailored Expressions. I look forward to so many more creative adventures in stamping! "


How wonderful for both of you!!
