House Mouse Feature on the Simon Says Stamp Blog

Today I am being featured over on the Simon Says Stamp Blog and have made a little photo tutorial on how I colour House Mouse images ,,, I also made a couple of things so please pop over to see them and leave me a comment so I know you went :-) CLICK HERE if you would like to go directly to the post :-)

I feel so honoured to be a part of the Simon Says Stamp family :-) I LOVE being on the team and am so lucky to have met Heidi, Jason, Steph and many more people who work so tirelessly to bring us new products and make sure our parcels of crafty goodies are all sent out so quickly :-) They all made me feel so welcome when I went to the CHA,,,, I can't wait for next time !!! :-)

Here is a little bit of information about Simon Says Stamp ,,, :-)

Simon Says Stamp was founded in 2002 with an interest in exclusively selling rubber stamps. It didn’t take long until we realized we couldn’t stop there. During the past 10 years we celebrate rubber stamping in its full glory by giving access to people around the world to a one stop shop. Rubber stamps still remain the heart of our business and we are celebrating by hosting a STAMPtember™ event intended to inspire, educate, and celebrate the greatness of rubber stamping.Part of the enticement of rubber stamping is that stamps can be used in creating or complementing ANYTHING!From stamping dates on bank documents and postage parcels in the early 18th century,rubber stamping has dramatically expanded to include card making,scrapbooking, mixed media and many forms of altering and expressing art.

here is a little sneak peek :-)
