It's Wednesday and we have another Simon Says Challenge for you ! We have a double challenge, using the photo as inspiration and also to use Autumn colours - yum, my fave !!
Here is your inspiration :
What a gorgeous photo which apparently was taken by Steph in a park in Boston, Ohio.
Here is my card
I followed the sketch over at Friday Sketchers. Simon Says Stamp are sponsoring that challenge this week.
I am also going to enter my card in these challenges too :
Craft Your Days Away - Autumn Doodles
Stamptacular Sunday Challenge - Seasons Change
Craftalicious - Harvest Festival/Autumn
The DP's are by Imaginisce and are called "Apple Cider". I just love all the yummy colours in these papers. Simon Says Stamp has lots of really lovely embellies and stamps to go with this paper.
The image is by CC Designs and is called "Pumpkin Emma". I think this stamp has been snapped up because of the time of year but I am sure that more stocks must be on their way. If you would really like the stamp then please email Steph or Heidi and they will order it in for you. I have coloured the image with ProMarkers. The sentiment is by Magnolia.
The leaves are by Prima
The ribbon is from my stash.
Jay-Jay is again joining us at our Guest Designer and along with the rest of the DT have made some gorgeous cards for you this week.
There is a fantastic prize of a $25 P&P free shopping spree for the lucky winner !
Really exciting news alert !!!!
I just couldn't believe my eyes when I received my copy of Cardmaking and Papercraft Magazine on Monday and one of the cards I made for "Quick Makes" is on the FRONT COVER ! Woooo hooooo As you can imagine, I was jumping for joy (well, I still am !!) - how exciting !
If you want to see more of my cards for Christmas and also inspiration for using the free papers included in the magazine then pick up this magazine next time you go shopping ! There are so many fantastic ideas in there too from all the other Designers, a real fabby bumper issue. Also if you go to their website at http://www.cardmakingandpapercraft.com/ you will be able to see a sneak peek of this month's magazine !
Anyway, may I proudly introduce my card on the front cover...............!
