Simon Says...April Showers and/or Spring Flowers ♥

Hi everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Easter! My sister and her hubby flew in the day before and we had a wonderful Easter! My parents are here too. So the kids have been having a blast! Nothing like having all of your family around. They will be here until the end of the week. So we have an entire roster of fun activities planned. :)

It's time for a brand new challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's theme is...April Showers and/or Spring Flowers! 

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Memory Box. Oh, how I love Memory Box! So many beautiful dies to choose from!! But for this card, I am using the Lydia Butterfly Die. You can use the Sorona Butterfly Die behind it to make it a solid background, but I decided just to use the Lydia Die because I wanted that cut out look. The stamped sentiment is an older Memory Box Stamp.

I also used some Prima Coffee Break Cappuccino Flowers, a Doodlebug White Doily, some May Arts Natural Twine and some White Opal Liquid Pearls.

The papers are from the Bella Rouge 6x6 Paper Pad by Prima.

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!

Do you use Instagram ?  If so, please add #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.

Happy Wednesday bloggy friends! It's time for another challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! This time we are celebrating Spring! It's all about either Rain or Flowers! Or you can make a card with both! :) Just have fun and let the creative spark take over!!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing products by Hero Arts! I chose this fun stamp set called Layered Flowers. I stamped the medium flower that comes in the set, 3 x's. I then cut all 3 out, colored them in with soft pastel Chalks and some Copics and then I added some Chunky Glitter and a Hero Arts Medium Accent Pearl to the center flower. I then crumpled them up a bit in my hand and then opened them back up a bit to give them a weathered look. I then matched them up and adhered them together.

I also used some papers by Authentique from the 6x6 Grace Paper Pad. The dies are Stately Circles Nestabilities by Spellbinders.

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!

Before I go, just want to say that my heart goes out to the family of an adorable 6 year old boy who was shot accidentally by his 4 year old friend on Monday night. My heart goes out to both families actually. This cute little boy passed away yesterday afternoon. This happened right around the corner from my house. The entire neighborhood is just devastated. Things like that don't happen here nor should it happen anywhere! I'm sure that family did not want this to happen but they should be held accountable. No child should have access to a gun! Both families are now changed forever. So very sad! Please say a prayer for both of these families! And give your children a big hug and kiss, no matter what their ages are!!

This week the Simon Says DT is featuring products by either Bo Bunny or Basic Grey. I chose to use Bo Bunny. The papers and stamped butterfly is from the Country Garden collection. Such sweet papers! The seed packets are cut out from one of the papers.

I also used some mulberry roses from Prima, some seam binding, a Melissa Frances rub-on transfer and some Liquid pearls in White Opal.
