Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the Winter Challenge and we hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
We will be having a DT Call so be sure to pop back tomorrow for more details!
This week the challenge is
SOMETHING NEW
With the dawning of a New Year New it's time to think about Something New, New Baby, New Home, New Job, New Crafty Stash, I am sure you will all think of something and we will be looking forward to seeing what it is!
We are introducing a couple of new features to the challenges. We will be showcasing a brand or product designer every first Monday of the month and to start the ball rolling we are all using Tim Holtz Products! Tim is a great inspiration to all of us and I am sure that most, if not all of us have something of his in our crafty stash. You don't have to use Tim Holtz's products to join in with the challenge, but if you have them we would love to see them used!
We will also be inviting crafters to join us in a monthly Designer Spotlight. We will be looking for vintage, artistic style designers, so if you would like an opportunity in the spotlight then please enter the challenges and show your arty side.
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
We are also introducing a New Designer Spotlight feature so you will need to pop over to the challenge blog to see who it is!! ;-)
I needed to make a New Home card for a special friend.
I love the Tim Holtz Bird Crazy Stamp and Die Set and the coordinating Crazy Things set, they are such fun! I have this crazy bird painting the walls of his New Home with the help of a Scribbles and Splat Die Set, and some Distress Ink Pads. I used some Letter Tiles to make the words 'New Home', but you know how it is when you play scrabble, the tiles always get jumbled up!
To make the splattered background I die cut the splatter design from the Scribbles and Splat set out of 3 pieces of scrap paper and used these as masks while I sponged the ink through.
So now it's YOUR turn, Happy Crafting
If you use instagram add #sssmchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too!
You have until Monday 8am Ohio time. 1pm UK time, 2 pm CET to join in

Lols, your little bird is adorable with his paintbrush and big splats of color!

I adore this card! Little crazy bird is stunning, the bright colors you used are perfect! Wonderful work! Barbarayaya
What a fabulous card, Lols. The paint splatters are perfect. Such a fun touch with the scrabble letters! Hugs, Sandra
I'm usually not a fan of the crazy birds but your card blows me away. The splats look as great on the card.
Thank you for join us at Come and get it, hope we see you again.

This is so much fun, Lols! I love the paint splatters behind the cute bird and your card brings a smile to my face...it's gorgeous! :) xx
Such a fun card Lols! I love how you did the sentiment and those cool paint splatters. Happy New Year!
Fun Fun Fun! Love those happy splotches of color and the cute bird! Sweet card!
So genius! And I love how you've made our little bird have a totally believable scene here as he's checking out his paint splotches. This reflects reality (we can all relate to painting situations) yet it is also so fun and whimsical! Clever technique with the splotches, too!
