A Simon Says Stamp Treat!

It's ANYTHING GOES week! Yes, that means this week you get to create anything your heart desires and link it up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog! Just make sure it is something new! The design team is featuring Art Impressions products this week. You don't have to use them, but if you have some, we'd love to see what you do with them! They have some pretty fun stuff! Both hilarious and adorable! And if you love to color there are SO many awesome options for you!



Naturally, I chose a puppy stamp set. Naturally. I also decided to challenge myself to a one layer design. I used the Cat and Dog mini Front and Back set for this card. I love that you can add the puppy butt to the inside of the card!!!! I de cut the clouds (Memory Box Puffy Clouds), being sure to only partially cut the one with the puppy in it so his little head would stick up!

Now it's YOUR turn! Create a super fun something or another and link it up for ANYTHING GOES week! One lucky participant will win a $50 Gift Certificate to the Simon Says Stamp store! WOOT!!!! That's an awesome prize, folks. For reals, though.

Have a Happy!

Because PUPPY BUTTS!

Or rain, if you happen to be here, but you won't see ME complaining! HA! The Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge this week, however, is LET IT SNOW! We want to see your snowy creations this week! The Design Team is featuring Art Impressions products today. Art Impressions makes some seriously adorable rubber stamps! They have SUCH fun designs! You don't have to use them to play along, but if you have them on hand, we'd love to see what you do with them!

I used the super cute cat and dog mini set for my card. Because PUPPY BUTTS!!!! I created a snowy shaker card using a pretty Pinkfresh Studio Christmas Wishes patterned paper to create a scene out the little window. The puppies are colored with Spectrum Noir markers.

I filled the shaker with Tim Holtz Distress Glitter and some sequins. 

Now it's YOUR turn! Create something fabulous based on the LET IT SNOW theme and link it up over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store! WOOT! WOOT!

Have a Happy!

Because Spots

Hello, friends! We have another awesome new challenge for you this week! This week we are GOING DOTTY! We want to see spots and dots on your projects this week! LOTS of spots and dots. (You can say that aloud if you'd like. It's fun. I promise.) The Design Team is featuring Art Impressions products this week. Art Impressions has SUCH a great line of stamps! They are absolutely HILARIOUS! They have pretty stamps , too, but my favorites are the ones that make me laugh. I like to laugh. It's good for the soul.



Here is my confession: I accidentally used a stamp that was discontinued. And here is the good news: The discontinued one is the giraffe and NOT that amazeballs sentiment. And that is the good news because, YOU GUYS! That SENTIMENT! You need it. For reals. It's hilarious. It would be great paired with some of the images of friends in the Art Impressions line. Seriously. LOVE IT!



Now... PLEASE head over to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog and check out what the rest of the team has created! The cards this week are TRULY amazing and we have a fabulous guest joining us this month, too! Go SEE! You know you wanna! Then create your own card inspired by the Going Dotty theme and link it up to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store!

Have a Happy, folks!

I'll Take A Double Cafe Mocha Vodka Valium Latte.... to go, please.

Have you ever had one of those days?  Yeah... the double cafe mocha vodka valium latte... to-go kind of day.  We all have 'em from time to time which is why when I saw this stamp in the Art Impressions collection at Simon Says Stamp I just KNEW I had to use it for our Art Impressions Anything Goes week!  That's right!  It's ANYTHING GOES week!  The Design Team is using Art Impressions stamps, and if you have some we would LOVE to see you use them, but it isn't required for the challenge this week.  Use your stash, folks!



ACK!!!!  I love the look on that giraffe's FACE!  HA!  I believe W.T.F. pretty much sums up his feelings.  LOL!  I colored him with some Spectrum Noir markers and cut the edge of the card front off a bit, adding a strip of gold glitter tap to the inside edge of the card that shows nicely.  Very simple, but, for this sentiment, I believe it is quite perfect.



Now it's your turn!  Create something AWESOME (And new... no backlinking.) and link it up over on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win a $50 Gift Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store!

BUT WAIT!  (Yup.... I just totally added a butt weight to my blog post... it happened...)

THERE'S MORE!  Art Impressions is offering THIS amazing prize pack to one challenge participant, too!  WHAT?! 

And THAT'S not ALL, folks!  ( I swear...I missed my calling in life.  I would have made an AMAZEBALLS infomercial host.  Just puttin' that out there.)

If you head on over to the Art Impressions Facebook Page, 'like' it, and let them know that Simon Says Stamp set you on over, WELL, my friends, YOU could be the lucky winner of this fabulous package of holiday stamps valued at over $100!!!!! (And all the bright lights flash, the crowd goes wild, there's jumping up and down.... *sigh*  Yup.  Totally missed my calling.)

So... go make something, dudes.

You can find the links to all of the fun products I used to create my card below!

Have a Happy!
