Simon Says ,,,,, Look What the Stork Brought :-)

Thank you so much to everyone who joined in with our challenge last week of paper piecing/paper piercing. We had lots of entries and all your projects were stunning.


Onto this week's challenge which is


LOOK WHAT THE STORK BROUGHT !!!


As many of you will know, Heidi's baby is due anyday now and we are all eagerly awaiting the news that we are to be Auntie's again !! We would love to see your baby cards !


Sshhhh a little birdie told us that Heidi's baby is a girl, if anyone would like to make a card and send it to her then please email the Simon Says Stamp Challenge email addy for the address :-) Thanks xx

As usual Heidi will be giving one lucky entrant a $50 voucher to her FANTASTIC Simon Says Stamp Superstore !! See the NEWEST stuff on the All New Just In Page For fabulous tutorials, inspiration and candy you should keep an eye on the Simon Says Stamp Blog too !!!


It is also Marcea's 40th Birthday TODAY !!!! Woo Hoo !! :-) Time to PARTY !! :-)

Happy Birthday to you, happy birthday to you , happy birthday to you hooooo,,,, happy birthday to you :-)

We are welcoming Christine aka Nanaseaside to join us in the Designer Spotlight for the next 4 weeks :-) I am sure most of you will have visited Christine's blog but if you haven't you're in for a treat !! Please pop over and say Hi :-)




For my card I used this very cute Happy Hoppers Love Bunny stamp ( as did Christine and Jo ,, very popular stamp this week Smile) I coloured the image with copics, cut out with a Spellbinders circle die and inked the edges with some pink chalk ink. The papers are from Kaiser Crafts Lullaby pad. The flowers are punched with my fab new Mc Gill Buttercup punch, these were edged with the pink chalk ink too and embossed with a Swiss Dots folder . The center flowers were made with a Nellie Snellen Punch and Emboss set and Stamen punch I popped a pearl in the center to finish Smile ( Here’s a tip ,, if you haven’t seen the Nellie Snellen page in the store ,, go for a peep ,, I love everything in there ,, the stamps are GORGEOUS !! ) .




Close up piccy's, don't you just LOVE the expression of the proud Mummy and her little bundle of joy :-) Makes your heart melt eh !! aww :-)

I used a Martha Stewart Pansy Punch around the page, added a little shoe charm and the sentiment was made using a Spellbinders ribbon slide and Simon Says Stamp Exclusives sentiment.



We would love to see you ALL joining in with us for this very special challenge and don't forget YOU could win this fabby voucher !!! :-)
