Simon Says ... Check it Out


Good morning, so sorry I am a little late today - my sone has gone away this morning for a few days with the County band so I had to get him all sorted and see him off ... thought I had scheduled my post but set it wrong ... oops!
Thankyou for all the amazing entries last week for our friends challenge, wow, that was really popular. I love looking at your cards. This week we have another great challenge for you all on Simon Says Challenge Blog ... we want to see you ...

CHECK IT OUT

Just use checks or gingham etc somewhere on your creation to be in with a chance to win the $25 gift voucher to spend at Simon Says Stamp Store. Heidi even pays for the postage, what a sweetheart!!


So here is my card for this week .......


 I have used one of the gorgeous Miss Anya 'Love' stamps. I just love her dress and hair - so pretty. Heidi stocks a great choice of stamps by The Greeting Farm which you can see HERE. My papers are by Basic Grey and are from the Kioshi 6x6 pad.


 I tried a new way of colouring my images .... I have used my copics but also my prisma color pencils too. I am really happy with the results, especially because it is the first time I have tried it. I had to blow the dust of my neglected pencils - don't you love how they smell (am I strange, lol).


I do hope you get chance to play along. Please can you take time to read my post below about a special girl called Bella ..... there is a special blog hop trying to get as many cards as possible sent to this brave little girl .... thankyou so much xxx
