Simon Says Stamp Winners!!!... (and a couple of publication shares).

Hi everyone!

Happy Friday! I hope you're all having a wonderful day! I'm up to my eyeballs in apples here...making applesauce, apple pie filling, apple chips... Good thing we like apples here because we just moved into a property that has about dozen apple trees and this year's crop is a great one! You're welcome to come by and help yourself to some apples!

I'm taking a break to share some Simon Says Stamp winners and also a few cards that I've had published that have been shared on the Paper Crafts Connection Blog and Moxie Fab World. That means I'm allowed to share them here too, right? ;) Both are in the November/December 2013 issue of Paper Crafts.

First off, the winner of the Simon Says Stamp Blog Hop goody bag is.... JOCELYN OLSON! Congrats, Jocelyn! Simon will be in touch with you!

Secondly, the winner of the Simon Says Stamp November 2013 Card Kit: Happy Color is...

House of Love Card (Simon Says Stamp November 2013 Card Kit & GIVEAWAY)

Hi everyone!

I'm back to share another card I made using the Simon Says Stamp November 2013 Card Kit: Happy Color.

I used some fun elements from this month's kit including the metal house and 3 different Doodlebug Pixie Sticks (see supply list for links). I love how these kits push me to use things I normally wouldn't. :)

Supplies:

It's Gonna Be OK - (Simon Says Stamp November 2013 Card Kit)...AND A GIVEAWAY!!!

Hi everyone!

I'm back to share another card I made using the Simon Says Stamp November 2013 Card Kit: Happy Color. First, I want to thank you for all the sweet comments you left on my card kit blog hop post. I usually don't decorate the inside of my cards but it sounds like a lot of you do! :)

Today's card happens to be another one with a finished inside. I die cut a window out of the front using this great Simon Says Stamp Life Bubble Vertical die. I then die cut another piece of the Amy Tangerine Cut & Paste patterned paper included in the kit (each kit has a slightly different selection from the same line). After stamping my greeting (and boy do these month's greetings ever speak to me!) and coloring in the heart I used foam adhesive to attach it inside the card. A little bit of washi tape finishes things off.

World Card Making Day 2012 Winner Blog Hop!

Hi everyone!

Welcome to the World Card Making Day 2012 Winner Blog Hop!

The winners of last year's Paper Crafts World Card Making Contest are hopping along to celebrate World Card Making Day (one day early). ;) We're all making cards in the categories in which we won. I won in the LOVE category. :) When I found out which of my cards won I was shocked. It was my least favorite of all the cards I sent in, was a previous Paper Crafts call reject, and I almost didn't include it in my package! When I asked Susan R. Opel why they chose it she said that it was trendy (washi tape and subway art), used non-traditional colors, and would make a good masculine card. All that to say don't be afraid to send in cards you don't think are good enough or that you think might be too outside the box. :)

Here's my card for today:

*Simon Says Clear Stamps SQUARE SAYINGS sss101308 *Simon Says Stamp TRI SQUARE Craft DIE S151 *Sizzix BIG SHOT MACHINE Powder Blue & Teal 657900 *Fiskars Compact STAMPING PRESS Stamp Entire Project at Once! 02958 *Tonic Studios 8.5 INCH PAPER TRIMMER Guillotine Cut Trim Mini *Martha Stewart SCORING BOARD Score Craft Tool 42-05002 *We R Memory Keepers Cropadile CORNER CHOMPER *STAZON OPAQUE Ink Pad COTTON WHITE & REFILL Reinker Inker SJ250 *Hero Arts Layering Papers PUNCH PS596 *Hero Arts ACETATE FOLDED Cards & White Cards & Envelopes PS454 *325 Glue Dots MICRO Clear Adhesive Pink 34300
