♥ Simon Says...Food and/or Drink! ♥

Happy Wednesday to you!! And since it's Wednesday, that means it's time for a brand new challenge over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog! This week's challenge...Food and/or Drink!

This week the Simon Says DT are showcasing Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Products! Almost everything on my card is made by Simon Says Stamp!  I first started with a White Cardstock by Simon Says as my card base. The top layer of cardstock was cut using the larger die from the Bundle of Stitched Shapes Set and I die cut some circles using the Stitched Circles dies by Simon Says. I also used the Scream for Ice Cream Stamps and Die Set. The ice cream cone and hearts were stamped in Lipstick Red, Twirling Tutu, Thistle and Catkin Inks, all by, yup, you guessed it, Simon Says Stamp!

I finished off the card with some SSS Moonshine Sequins, May Arts Natural Twine and a Hero Arts White Pearl.

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. 

And...all this month we have a super fun Kids Summer Vacation Challenge! It's Anything Goes and it's open to kids from ages 2-16! There will be not 1 but 3 prizes given away!! :)

                 

Hope you have a blessed day!

♥ Simon Says...Summer Vacation Kids Challenge! ♥

Hi all and welcome to another of our annual Simon Says Stamp Summer Vacation Kid's Challenge where we host a special challenge dedicated to our young designers.

ANYTHING GOES 

It is time for all you crafters to let your children loose in your crafty corners for a few hours. Just close your eyes and set them free to explore their creativity :-) You are allowed to hide your Copic Markers and extra special papers and you are allowed to help just a little bit if necessary, but we really want the children to 'DO IT' themselves as much as possible :-)

This challenge is open to all children aged between 2 and 16 inclusive.

We have not 1, not 2 but  3 surprise parcels of crafty goodies, hand picked by Simon !

For this challenge we have a very special Junior Design Team who have done an excellent job. Please pop along to the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog and please leave comments for them on their blog posts. Thank You xx

This challenge will continue for the whole month of August, finishing at 6pm Ohio time. 11pm UK time, 12 pm CET  on August 31st. 

Here are 2 cards made by my kids using the Simon Says Stamp August 2014 Card Kit, Summer Dreams.

Have a great rest of your summer!! ;)
