Play at Simon's Challenge with Wendy Vecchi!

This week, we have a VERY special guest designer with us on our Simon Says Stamp Challenge, Wendy Vecchi. Wendy has an amazing blog! It is a must follow! She is pure talent! Not only does she design her own stamps - studio 490, she does design work for Maya Road, Tim Holtz, idea-ology and Ranger. Wendy is also an exclusive demo artist for Ranger and was demonstrating on the same Mexican cruise as our very own Heidi and Terra a few weeks ago !! If you haven't been to her blog, you REALLY should .....just click on her name and it will take you right there!!!! Here is Wendy's project & a supply list and instructions so you TOO can create something as wonderful!!!!
