Hey there, it’s time to be thankful on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Blog this week.  It’s that lovely time of year where everything’s turning and the nights are for cosying up in front of the fire with a hot drink and a blankie!!  Bliss!

For my card this week I kept it very simple although a wee bit of work went into it to colour that apple (three attempts before I was happy, lol!).  I was totally inspired by the way my idol Debby Hughes coloured this stamp and so I went with her lead and smothered it in Glossy Accents too!  To ground the image and add a little more interest I just framed the card with a free hand border drawn with a Copic multi liner pen.

sss thanks


So now it’s YOUR turn, Happy Crafting

25 Days of Christmas Tags with Simon Says Stamp

Today I’m VERY excited to be joining in with the annual event hosted by the fabulous Tracey McNeely , the 25 Days of Christmas Tags.  This event is in it’s 5th year now and whilst I have never had the chance to participate before I have loved hopping along in the past seeing so much festive inspiration along the way.  Lots of my favourite companies are sponsoring the event and today it’s the turn of Simon Says Stamp so some of my teamies on the Wednesday Challenge Blog and some from the Monday Challenge Blog (waves!) have created some fabulous tags featuring some FABULOUS Simon Says Stamp products.  I used a great die from one of the releases from last Christmas, Pile of Gifts – it’s still one of my favourites!  I love the combo of cerise pink, black and gold (particularly of the foiled variety!).  This design could be for a birthday, Christmas or even a Valentine!
