Hello there! Thank you so much to everyone who sent me Birthday Wishes! I had a nice day on Monday! Hubby made lunch and then we all went out for a nice family Birthday Dinner! The first day I didn't cook at all in years! :)
Today starts a brand new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge is all about....CRITTERS! We want to see dogs, cats, mice, turtles, etc!
And this week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Lawn Fawn! I am using the On the Mend Clear Stamp Set. I love that sweet turtle! I am also using a Spruce Woodgrain Notecard by Lawn Fawn as well. I colored the turtle and background panel using the Faber-Castell 34 Piece Gelatos Gift Set.


To finish off the card, I used some May Arts Natural Twine and some Hero Arts Mixed Accents.

♥ Simon Says...Ombre! ♥

Hello! Today we have a fab new challenge up at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! For this week's challenge we want to see...OMBRE! Ombre is a French word that means color that is shaded or graduated in tone.
And this week, the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Hero Arts! Of course, I had to use one of their amazing Ombre Ink pads for my card. Ombre Pool to Navy Ink Pad. Love these colors! I also used the HA Happy Birthday To You Wood Stamp as well as their Mixed Accents.


The little hearts are from the Tons of Hearts Stamp Set by Simon Says as well as the Moonshine Sequins. The seam binding ribbon was dyed using the ink pad as well. :)


And don't forget, the super sweet and generous Heidi will give the random winner of this challenge a $50 Credit Voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Superstore! Good luck everyone!
