Simon Says … Let’s play BINGO!

Good afternoon, mid week again and hopefully I am fast asleep. I am half way through my nights and finish this set on Friday morning. I then have a week off which is the great side of shift work.

So hopefully Mr Blogger is behaving and you can now see my card for Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. We have a fabulous Bingo board for you all to follow so make sure you join in this week. The design team are all using Memory Box products – woop woop because I just LURVE these!!!

So here is my rather super cute and just all together way too pretty Belles n Whistles stamp coloured with my Spectrum Noir pens I swear the more I use these pens the more I use them. I really love this blue/green colour combo.

I have stamped around the edge of my image with a lovely swirl stamp (it is an Inkadinkado mini)that I have only just inked up. I am just shocking at not using my stash – I am really trying to use more of what I have ….. I bet you are all as bad.

I am really happy with the buckle die under the flowers at the top right of my card and will certainly be using this again. I am now thinking that I need to buy a snowflake die similar to this for my christmas cards!

You all know by now that if you are the lucky winner then you are set to win a $50 voucher to spend at Simon Says Stamp Online Store – yes that’s right …. are we crazy????? Perhaps but you know that you have a great selection of goodies to spend it on so you would be crazy not to join in!!

Simon Says ….. A Sketch!!!!

Morning, sorry I am a little late this morning but a strange thing happened …… for the first time on a Wednesday in lord knows how long I managed a lay in – oooh that was nice but unexpected so I am now typing like a mad woman getting my post done.

On Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog this week we have a gorgeous sketch by our equally gorgeous Jane. I have to say I think it is one of the nicest sketches I have used in a long time – thanks hun for the inspiration!!

For once I am really pleased with my card. It came together really easily – isn’t it a joy when that happens!! I usually spend a few hours shuffling embellies around etc so it was a welcome change to make a card in just a couple of hours!

As always we have a fabulous prize for one lucky person this week …. Thanks so much Heidi.
