Baby Got Background



Yup.  That's my post title for the day.  Yup.  It's awesome.  Obviously today is going to be awesome because of it.  For reals, though.




That title, however, is not JUST for being awesome, it is to tell you about the brand new Wednesday Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp!  We are challenging you to create your own backgrounds this week!  No patterned papers - you can use plates, stencils, stamps, or whatever you'd like to create your own background!  The design team is showcasing stencils and Gelli plates this week, so you are going to have some AWESOME inspiration!  I decided to play with a stencil and some embossing pastes!  DUDE!!!  It was messy.  I don't usually do messy, but I had a BLAST with this one!!!

Merry & Bright


I used both the black and the pearlescent embossing pastes from Dreamweaver.  I started with one, allowed it to dry, shifted my stencil (after cleaning it, of course) and then did the second color.  Seriously, you guys.  WAY FUN STUFF!!!

It's time for a new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog and this week it's ANYTHING GOES week!  Yup!  You can create anything your little heart desires, so, basically, that means you have NO excuse to not enter!  Woot!  Woot!  The design team is featuring Simon Says Exclusives this week, so if you have some of those, we would LOVE to see you use them, too!

One lucky participant will, of course, win a $50 voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  Dude.  That's awesome.  For reals, though.



Hello & Happy Holidays


I used a BUNCH of super fun goodies on this fun Christmas card!  You can find all of them in the links below my post.  There are just too many to list here!  LOL!  I stamped the background in red and green circles and layered vellum over it to make it a bit more subtle.  To get the striped 'hello' die cut, I first layered strips of cardstock on a thin paper and then die cut it all together.  I love how fun and festive that looks!

Hello & Happy Holidays


This card was seriously a TON of fun to create!!!  I just love it!  It's bright and festive and full of CHRISTMAS!  YAY!  Now it's your turn to create ANYTHING you want and link it up to the Wednesday Challenge blog for your chance to win!  Be sure to follow the rules, as we do check!




Have a Happy!!!  And.... Let's Go RED SOX!!!!!!!
