♥ Loads of Love ♥

Happy Hump Day!! It's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This week's theme is "Pin It". We want to see creations using Pins, Safety Pins, Paper Clips, Clothes Pins, Bowling Pins....think outside the box! :)

I chose this cute little stamp set called 'Loads of Love' by Unity Stamps. Unfortunately it is out of stock at the moment but there are other cute "laundry style" stamps as well in the Simon Says Stamp Store.

I colored the image in with some Copics and then trimmed it out. I place it over some die cut circles to frame it out. I then stamped the "Loads of Love" onto some punched hearts that I laid out onto the table and then stamped over it. I then "hung them up" on the twine using some Hero Arts Little Clothespins. They are too cute! I also made some "bubbles" with some Liquid Pearls. The cute hearts paper by Lily Bee is from the SSS July Card Kit. The Kit is Sold Out but you can buy that paper pad HERE.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

♥ You're a Real Firecracker ♥

Tomorrow is the Fourth of July here in the U.S. Time for us to celebrate our Independence. But everyone can join in on the party, because this week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is Patriotic! The challenge is to make something that represents your Country, Flag colors or a National Symbol.

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by My Favorite Things. You don't have to use them on your creation, but if you have them, we would love to see them! I chose a few of their amazing dies to use on my card. I used the Stacking Stars, Mini Wavy Pennants and the Polka Dot Greetings Die-Namics dies.

I also used the MFT Firecracker Clear Stamp Set as well. (I just used one of the sentiments from the set though) The papers are from the Farmhouse Paper Company's Country Kitchen 6x6 Paper Pad. Love the papers in this pad! I finished it off with some White Opal Liquid Pearls and some Little B Skinny Washi Tape in Gingham Red.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

And finally, the lucky random winner of my "Cards for Maddy" Giveaway is.... (I can't for the life of me, figure out how to post the Random Generator on my blog!)

.....#6 Mary H. Congrats Mary! Please shoot me an email with your Snail Mail Addy and I will get the Spellbinders Dies right out to you!

Have a sweet day!

♥ Candi Sweets ♥

Happy Day everyone! It's time for another "Anything Goes" Challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! As long as it is a paper creation, we want to see it!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing some fun products by Craftwork Cards! They make the cutest little "Candi" that is actually a think paper "dot" that when applied with some of their adhesives or any mini pop dot, they look exactly like a brad minus the "feet". So you can use them anywhere you like! (They remind me of those "Candy Buttons" I used to eat as a kid!)

I used the cute Sugar Frosting Polka Dots Candi on my card. They are currently out of stock at the moment :( but will be back in shortly! There are many different sweet other styles available though. You can check them out HERE! The fun Papers and Die Cuts are by Crate Paper from The Pier line.

♥ Summer Fruits ♥

Happy Wednesday! We have a "sweet" new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This week we want to see "Summer Fruits"! Watermelon, cherries, cantalope, etc!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by American Crafts! I used some cute 6x6 papers and Die cuts from the Mayberry line. I also used the Mason Jar stamp from the Dear Lizzy Neapolitan line. Unfortunately that cute little stamp set is sold out but you can get a similar Jar Stamp, also from the Dear Lizzy line.

I love that cute little red wagon from the Mayberry Pie Die Cuts. It was a cute little "holder" for my summer fruits! I finished off the card with some satin ribbon, twine, Liquid Pearls and I used some Crackle Accents on the Mason Jar.

♥ On the move... ♥

Happy Hump Day! That means, it's time for a new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This time the theme is "Transport". Think cars, planes, trains, bicycles, rocket ships, wagons, etc.

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Basic Grey! I love the Oliver line by BG. It is so cute, especially for making little boy cards. It has lots of trains and even a cute little wagon in it. So that is what I used for my card. I used the Oliver Chipboard Stickers, Die Cut Shapes and Rub On Book. I love that sweet little chipboard train! I gave it a little bling with some glitter on its wheels and some Liquid Pearl centers.

The cute papers are by Heidi Swapp from the Vintage Chic 8x8 Paper Pack. I added some white acrylic paint to the edges of the aqua colored paper.

♥ Simon Says...Masculine/Father's Day! ♥

Father's Day is right around the corner here in the US. So why not get a head start on your cards!! This week's challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog is all about MEN! Don't want to make a Father's Day card? How about a Birthday card for a man in your life? Or a Anniversary card...etc..etc.

The Simon Says DT are showcasing products by none other than, the cutie patootie, Tim Holtz! I decided to use the Moustache Sketch Stamp for my card. I stamped it first on a piece of die cut paper using Black StazOn and then once more in black and once in dark brown. I cut out each side of the moustache in black and brown and then paper pieced it on the original image. I added a little bit of pastel chalks and glitter to it.

I used the Bo Bunny Mama-razzi2 paper pad as well as some Platinum Liquid Pearls.

And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!

Make sure you check out the post beneath this. See how you can bring some joy to a beautiful young lady! And win a Giveaway by me and another by Simon Says Stamp!!

Have a wonderful day!
