The theme for both challenges this week will be ANYTHING GOES. You can make anything you like … a card, an ATC, a Scrapbook layout … the possibilities are endless!
You will need to hop through each blog, find the little parcel of goodies and make a note on which designer’s blog you found them.

The last stop on the hop is the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge blog. You will need to leave a comment there with the names of the 3 blogs with treasure chest pictures. The comments will be moderated so you will not be able to see the answers.
If you arrived here from the super talented Mandy's Blog, then you are going in the right direction otherwise you need to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge.
For my card, I used the adorable Itty Bitty stamp set called "Enjoy this Day" by Unity Stamps. I love the vintage style bicycle and beautiful sentiment. I used some pretty paper by Cosmo Cricket. I also dry embossed the paper with an old Cuttlebug Embossing Folder. I don't remember the name of it but it has alot of vines and flowers on it. I then ran some Pebbles pastel chalks over the embossed areas to give it color. I also ran my paper doily and tag through the Cuttlebug with the Swiss Dots folder.
To finish off my card, I added some Prima trim, seam binding ribbon, glitter and some Liquid Pearls in White Opal.
From here you need to go to the super talented and very sweet Heather's Blog for more inspiration :-) I would appreciate a comment if you would like to leave one
Have fun hopping along!!
