Simon Says Stamp "My Favorite" Blog Hop with GIVEAWAY!

Hi everyone!

Today I'm honoured to be participating in the Simon Says Stamp My Favorite Release Blog Hop! The fun starts at the Simon Says Stamp blog. If you've been hopping along you should be arriving from the talented Anna-Karin Evaldsson's blog.







Lots of cute and fun in this release sprinkled with a little sass. :)

I'm sharing two cards today. Here's the first one:


For this first card I used Simon's Retro Thanks Stamps and Dies, using a couple of the dies to create a rainbow background. I then used the matching stamps for my sentiment and to add a few 'embellishments'.

Supplies:




Here's my second card:


I used Simon's fun new Birthday Wishes Frame Die to create a colourful birthday shaker card. The great thing about the sentiment is that it goes across the entire frame so you have multiple pockets for sequins and/or beads. 

What's a blog hop without PRIZES?!?! Simon will be giving away a Simon Goody bag on every stop of the hop! All you have to do is leave comments along the way! Simon will randomly draw the winners and contact them via email. Winner will be chosen Monday, April 26th.

Thanks so much for stopping by! The next stop on the hop is the fabulous Amy Rysavy!
