Simon Says Stamp Challenges You to Use Sparkle & Bling!

Is it really already Wednesday?! This week has flown by! The leaves are turning colors and falling off the trees, and the air has definitely been crisp. I like it though. I'm also a fan of the Simon Says Stamp Challenge! Not only can you possibly win a $50.00 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp, but it's a fun way to showcase your work, see what other people are doing, and make new friends! Interested? Enter this week! The theme is Sparkle & Bling : )

Here is what our Simon Says Stamp Design Team has designed for this week:

Sparkle & Bling by Nancy! Nancy made this card with the Winter Fox Stamp by Lawn Fawn!

Sparkle & Bling by Chris! Chris used an adorable Happy Hoppers Stamp called Buzzy Friends!

    Oh my they´re all sooo great cards, and I can see many of them have chosen to use House Mouse stamps, and they´re really hard to colorm nicve, but they´ve all managed an amazing coloring of their images. A big hip for that. But I choose MAndy´s card, because it´s so absolutely elegant with this gorgeous ribbon, and wonderful roses, that I just really really love. It is soooooooooooooo drop dead gorgeous, that I would just love to own it , that´s for sure. i sooooo LOVE it.

    Oh my, Peanuts! Thank you Debby, Melissa and Britta for using them :) I love reading Peanuts, and the stamps look so yummy, but suspect it hard to make or give someone a card featuring them. This gives me inspiration!

    There is such a wide variety of cards and projects. I like something in all of them. Mandy's card is really standing out to me. It has so much texture and character. Melissa's card because I really like the aged look she gave it. And Christine's card because it's so sweet. Thanks for sharing and for all the inspiration.

    I like the Snoopy playing tennis card the best. The faux stitching, especially on the clouds, really makes the card.
