TGCDT February 2020 Blog Hop - Enjoying A Tropical Moment with The Tropical Oasis Suite

Buried in the snow? Suffering crazy freezing temps? How about treating yourself to a tropical moment... Welcome to the February Blog Hop. The Gentlemen Crafters Design Team is a group of male independent Stampin’ Up! demonstrators from around the globe, and we share what we love every 2nd Friday of the month. Make sure you check out the rest of the Design Team’s creative projects from the photo links at the end of this post.
