♥ Simon Says...Kristina's Inspiration ♥

This week at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog we have a super fun challenge for you!! It is a sweet color inspiration photo! That sweet kitty is Mannie and he belongs to the super sweet and talented Kristina Werner! Kristina is the person who puts together the wonderful Simon Says Stamp Monthly Card Kits as well as designed stamp sets that can be purchased through the card kit and also in the store separately. Just recently she has also designed exclusive dies that are just awesome! The Simon Says DT shared many creations using these dies in last weeks challenge!


We want you to use the main colors of black and white with a splash of accent colors. (seen at the bottom of the photo) I can't wait to see what you all come up with!!

This week the Simon Says DT is featuring products by Basic Grey! For my card, I chose this fabulous clear stamp set by Basic Grey and Hero Arts called Guest Check. Love this fun set!!


 I also used some wonderful BG paper from the Clippings Snippets 4x6 Paper Pad.


 I finished it off with some Hero Arts Accent Pearl Hearts, trims and seam binding, a white rose and some glitter.

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






And lastly, there is also a Anything Goes Children's Challenge at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog as well!

The challenge is for children the ages of 2-16 years old. 2 winners will receive a wonderful Junior Stamper Kit!!

My 6 year old son, Antonio, made a special little parrot for the challenge. He traced his hands onto some cardstock, cut them out and used them as the feathers. Very creative, I think! He thought of it all his own too!

So get your children, grandchildren, nieces, nephews into the craft room and let them have some fun too! And they could win a very special prize!!

Have a wonderful day!

♥ Wishing Well 3-D Kit ♥

Happy Sunday everyone! Today I am honored to be Guest Designing for a wonderful online store called "Make it Crafty". They have the most amazing 3-D Chipboard Kits and Embellishments and the cutest rubber and digital stamps! There is even a character digi stamp named Melissa!  Check out this amazing store HERE!


I made this super FUN and super EASY Chipboard Wishing Well. The details on it are just amazing! And even though it looks very delicate it is super strong!


I had so much fun putting it together. It would make a great decor piece for a little girls bedroom or great centerpieces for a Wedding or special event! I am going to put a little battery operated tea light in the bottom and just display it on a table. It is a perfect summer decoration!


You can see how I made it on the Make it Crafty Inspiration Blog, HERE! Stop by, leave a comment and say hi! I may just pick someone out of all the comments to send a little something to!! ;)

Thanks again to Zoe and Tracy for having me!!

 Have a blessed Sunday!

♥ JustRite Friday Challenge #077 ♥

♥For today's Simon Says Post, please scroll down! Thank You!♥

I cannot believe it is almost August! Where is the summer going?? My 6 year old son, Antonio, is about to finish his Summer Reading Program at school next Monday and last week he finished Vacation Bible School. He didn't complain once about getting up early and going to either. We are just so proud of him! What a special little boy! So as promised, he has the entire month of August off and he gets to do whatever he wants! (Not that he doesn't all the time, anyway! ;)

On Monday, the last day of his Reading Program, they will be having an ice cream party and all the kids will be given awards. So for being such a good boy, I am going to give him a special little present from Mommy and Daddy. I decided to decorate a plain white bag with a tag and his own little award from us.


The tag was made using JustRite's "You're the Best" Cling Set. Love this fun little set! The tag itself was made with the Spellbinders Labels Twenty Dies.


 I was inspired to make the tag by the current Friday Challenge at the JustRite Inspiration Blog, "Tag You're It!"


And finally, my last Blog Giveaway Winner was Marisol Gaborow. I emailed her yesterday and she just responded. Congratulations Marisol! I will get your goodies in the mail tomorrow!

 My next giveaway will be up soon! ;) Have a great night!
