Well, you may have noticed a fun new blinkie in my sidebar! I'm excited to be joining the Simon Says Challenge Blog Design Team! Today we have a BRAND NEW challenge for you and it's a fun one! We want you to create ANYTHING BUT A CARD! It's easy! Simply make something...ANYTHING...just not a card, of course, and link it up over on the challenge blog! You could win an AWESOME prize just for giving it a shot!!!
Here is what I have created for this challenge!
This is actually what I gave to my Daddy for Father's Day! He loves guitars...he plays, he's in a band, and he simply appreciates the beauty of the instrument. I created this for him to hang in his office at his school!
A closer look shows you some of the goodies I used to create this fun frame! I began with a fabulous stamp from Stampendous! I used the Stampendous! Cling Music Score stamp for the background. I love this stamp! I layered papers from the Echo Park This & That Collection, and accented with burlap string and woven burlap from May Arts. A couple of fabulous trinket pins from Maya Road finished it off wonderfully! You can also see a bit of woodgrain washi tape tucked in with the papers that I inked with tea dye and frayed burlap distress inks! Love distress inks!
By participating in this challenge you have the chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to Simon Says Stamp! YUP! Pretty fabulous!!!!

ReplyDeleteGuitars really ARE beautiful--my son plays in a group, repairs/buys/sells, so we always have lots of them around.
I just asked him how many were in here, and he said, "Not that many."
Then he listed them off--there's 10 right now, but
"That's actually less than there usually is."
:)
This is just stunning, Jennifer! WOW... so many little details to look at... I'm sure your dad will TREASURE this! :)
