Hey, There!

Let's just cut to the chase, shall we? It's ANYTHING GOES week! Yes, that's right, it's everyone's favorite theme, Anything Goes, on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge blog this week! The design team is featuring Simon Says Stamp exclusives this week! You don't have to use them to join in, but if you have some, we'd love to see how yo make them shine!



Yup. I had a little extra fun with this one. I seriously LOVE these old school sunglasses dies from Simon and I was excited to use them! I paired them, perhaps a bit unexpectedly, with the heart from the I See You stamp set. I love this heart! I colored it with Spectrum Noir markers, using colors that were not too strong, but bold enough to peek through the vellum I used in the glasses just a bit. Because... FUN!!!



Naturally, I added some giant googley eyes. Because: Naturally.

Now it's YOUR turn! Create something AWESOME. Use some Simon exclusives if you would like to, 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. Yup. We like giving those away!

Have a Happy!

Because it's a Kite. And a Shaker. It's a SHAKER Kite!

Yup. It's a shaker kite. And that, my friends, is reason enough. For reals, though, I totally am loving this new die set from Simon Says Stamp's Hop To It release!



I pulled out the fun foam for this one. I find that for shaped shakers it is really easier to use a couple of layers of fun foam than trying to do tape all the way around the image. AND...the dies cut through the foam like buttah! Easy peasy, my friends!



I filled this one with seed beads and sequins from Pretty Pink Posh for a little bit of a different look. I kind of love the mix. And now I need more seed beads. Obviously.

If you haven't tried the fun shaker dies from Simon Says Stamp yet,you really must check them out! I think you will love them!

Have a Happy!!!

A bit of Red, White, and Blue!

YAY!!!  It's Friday!!!  I'm happy about that.  For REALS!  We have a brand new challenge for you over at CAS-ual Fridays this week!  It's all about the Red, White, and Blue this week!

I pulled out some stamps I recently got from The Stamps of Life for this one.  I love this Crayons set so stinking much!  I combined the stamps with three little Kelly Purkey sequins from Simon Says Stamp.

Ummm... yup.  Totally LOVING the crayon look of these stamps!  And combined with Ladybug and Bahama blue Momento inks from Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko they look JUST LIKE CRAYON only without the mess.  YAY!  LOVE IT!

AND...it just so happens that this week's sponsor is one of my personal favorites, Simon Says Stamp!  One awesome card maker entering this week's challenge will win a $25 Gift Certificate to the Simon Says Stamp Store!  Woot!

Soooo...be sure to head on over to CAS-ual Fridays to check out what the rest of the Girl Fridays have created!  AWESOME cards this week!  Then take this fabulous Memorial Day weekend (for the US folks, at least), pull out your Red, White, and Blue and make something FABULOUS to link up!  

Have a Happy, fabulous folks!
