Another Guest Design Card For SSS

Hi there!

It's my third week of guest designing over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog.  

This week we are to create a card using Dawny's fun sketch!

The design team are all using stamps from "Stamps Happen" and I must admit, I had never heard of this company before, so I decided  to check them out and I fell in love with their stamps! I ended up buying three of them. My card uses their adorable, Chillin' Penguin rubber stamp.

Isn't he fun?! I colored him with markers, added some Glossy Accents to the dots on the gift, and some Orange Peel Stickles to his beak and feet. The patterned papers are all from the North Pole, 6x6 paper pad from Doodlebug. I have almost used up that whole pad - the colors and patterns are sheer delight!

As I said, I bought a couple more stamps and wanted to share another card using the Stamps Happen, Cheerful Snowmen stamp.
Aren't they a riot!? I had lots of fun coloring this one!

 As always, a random winner will receive a $50.00 gift voucher from the Simon Says Stamp Store, so why don't you play along this week? It's a fun sketch and you could be the lucky winner this time!

You have until Wednesday, November 28th, 8am Ohio time, 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in!

 I can't wait to get together with my whole family, (should be about 28 of us this time) over at my brother's house to celebrate Thanksgiving! I'm also looking forward to three days off in a row, after a very busy week at work! I want to wish all my friends in the U.S. a very Happy Thanksgiving! :)

My Second Week Guest Designing at SSS

Hi everyone! 

It's time to share another card for my guest design spot over at the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog! Before I do that, I'd like to thank all of you for stopping by my blog last week. I was overwhelmed by the amount of comments I received and really appreciate all your support and kindness! It means so much to me! :)

This week's challenge is Thanksgiving/Thank you. The only Thanksgiving image I have is of a cutesy pilgrim couple, and I am not very comfortable creating "cutesy cards," so I went with the thank you theme.

 

The image I used is from Hero Arts and it's one of my faves. It's called, Three Sunflowers. As you can see, I only added two of them to my card, after stamping coloring and cutting them out. 

Some of you know that I manage a floral department in a grocery store, and during this year's fall season, we received some of the most amazing sunflowers! They were yellow and red striped and so gorgeous! I wish I would have thought to take a photo for you! That's why I colored my sunflowers with bits of red.

The piece of burlap behind my die-cut, scalloped oval is from Maya Road. I also embossed the yellow panel with a Cuttlebug embossing folder called, Leafy Branch and the sentiment is from Hero Arts' Thank You Messages.

I really hope you'll join me and play along with the challenge this week! As always, the prize is a $50.00 gift voucher to the Simon Says Stamp Store!
