Playing Favorites!

Before we get started I wanted to remind you to check out my CanvasPop Review, Discount, and GIVEAWAY! You don't want to miss this one! AWESOME product!

This week, for the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge we have a fun one for you! We are PLAYING FAVORITES! Showcase YOUR favorite product and/or your favorite technique on your project! The design team is using Ranger products this week, which, obviously, we LOVE! Because they are AWESOME. For reals, though. You don't have to use Ranger products to play along, but if you have some we love seeing what you do with them!



When considering my favorite technique, the obvious came to mind first - CAS design. I like to keep it clean and simple. I, naturally, decided to use that, but I also pulled in another favorite technique that I don't use all that often - ink blending! As I worked on this card, I was reminded why I don't use it that often - I kind of suck at it. HA! I actually love how this turned out in the end, but I have to be honest... LAYERS! There are LOTS of layers of distress ink on that background. I had to work it and work it and then work it some more to get the blend correct. Worth it? Totally. A fun crafting time? For reals, you guys!



That awesome die? Yup, that's totally from the new Simon Says Stamp The Color of Fun release. And I love it. With all my heart.

Are you ready to be AWESOME? Create something fabulous showcasing YOUR favorite technique and or product 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. Yup. It's that easy. Just make sure it is something new, as backlinked projects won't count.

Happy Day!!!

I think their may have been a bug in one of my boots this morning.  I decided to where a different pair of boots.  Not cool, dude.  Not.  Cooool.  BUT... I do have a super CUTE bug for you today!



Isn't he just adorbs?  I created him using the gumball stamps from the bubblegum4me set from The Stamps of Life.  I love how versatile stamps can be sometimes!  I trimmed a stick pin just a bit so it would be the correct length and adhered it to a fun little banner with the sentiment.  I love the simplicity of this one and the adorableness that is that bug!  LOVE!



The sentiment is from the minitags2cut set which comes with cute tag dies AND great sentiments.  SUPER great set to have on hand!  I love it!  I simply doodled the legs and features on the little centipede.  He was so fun to create!

And so... today, I wish you exactly this!  Have a Happy!
