This week the challenge is 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
We are celebrating our 10th birthday! Woo Hoo!! It's time to PARTY!! and we are inviting all of you to join in with the celebrations! Where have those years gone! They have whizzed by and we have all had such a great time working with Heidi, Stephanie and everyone behind the scenes at Simon HQ!! Several of the Designers have been on the team from the very beginning, Jo, Debby and soon thereafter Lin and Mandy. As you can see this is a great gig to be a part of!  The whole team is fabulously talented and dedicated to Simon and we would like to thank them all for their help in making this one of THE BEST challenges in blogland!!

Of course we wouldn't be here without YOU, we really appreciate you joining us in the challenges! THANK YOU ALL :-)


We are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

The lovely folks over at Simon Says Stamp are generously giving away not one but 10 FABULOUS $50 vouchers to shop at the  Simon Says Stamp Store! How AWESOME is that!!! 


All you have to do is take out your crafty supplies, make something following this week’s prompt, and add a link in the Inlinkz at the bottom of this post! You can join 5 times so you could have 5 chances to win! How AWESOME is that!! All winners are chosen randomly, so everyone has an equal chance to win! Woo Hoo!! Good Luck to everyone! The Design Team is looking forward to seeing your creative makes and will pop around to visit you ASAP!
Please pop by the challenge blog to see what our lovely guest, and the DT have made :-)


This week we are welcoming the lovely and super talented Marlena aka Marlena is Faithfully Crafting into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven't visited her blog you are in for a real treat! Please pop by to say 'Hi'


I used Stitching Butterflies and Circle Loops Dies and a Sketchy Lines Background Cling Stamp to make a set of birthday cards 

For the backgrounds I white heat embossed the Sketchy Lines and then used a selection of distress oxide inks over the top.



For this one I used Tumbled Glass Distres Ink Spray for the butterfly and matching Oxide Ink 


 For this one I used a Heidi Swapp Blush Rose Ink that is no longer available but it is very similar to Altenew Pink Metallic Shimmer Spray  and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink 


For this I used Dylusions Fresh Lime Ink for the butterfly and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink 






So now it's YOUR turn to take out your birthday supplies and join in!! 

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.
