Simon Says Challenge - Anything but a Card !

Good morning, so sorry I am running late. I hadn't realised until now that this must be one of the hardest posts I've had to write. I've just come back from school after saying bye, bye to Mollie as she has gone on a school trip to Wales for a few days and here I am posting an album page of my two beautiful girls I have made for this week's Simon Says Challenge and her gorgeous face just keeps looking at me.

I should be hardened to it by now as she is away with Brownies all the time on trips away from home but I still fall in a heap and cry my eyes out when I get in the car and then behind my front door ! Perhaps I should have made something else, it didn't occur to me when I made it that I would be posting it on the same day she left !!

Anyway, firstly we would like to introduce you to a new member of our team
Kathy Racoosin who is also a designer for Penny Black. You probably all know her but just in case you don't her blog is here........The Daily Marker..........pay her a visit and see her wonderful creations.

This week our challenge is ANYTHING BUT A CARD and the Design Team are featuring Tim Holtz products so if you have any of his fantastic products, we would love to see them ! As always though, its not a condition of the challenge.

As always, there is an amazing $50 shopping spree for the lucky winner in the Simon Says Stamp Store and you can be one of the first to get hold of all those yummy new products that have been released at the CHA show.

There isn't a huge amount I can say about this layout apart from I made it in the same way as I made the mini album I made last year for a challenge. I have made it in the same way so I can just add this page to the album. I have just listed below all the Tim Holtz products I have used on it.

Tim Holtz : Blending tool, Vintage Photo Distress Ink, Worn Lipstick Distress Ink, Tattered Rose Distress Ink, Vintage Shabby Papers, Picket Fence Crackle Paint, Grunge Paper, Glossy Accents, Foliage Flowers and Leaves Hardware, Traveler Tissue Tape, Ranger Adirondack Paint Dabber Gold Metallic Acrylic, Ornate Plates, Book, Hardware, Frame, Label, Adage Tickets, Journaling Tickets, Hinge Clips, Elegant Florishes Die

We look forward to seeing all your projects for our challenge. As always the rest of the Design Team have made some amazing projects for your inspiration. Please visit them and leave them some love !

Right, off to make myself busy. I am sure she is having a wonderful time already and not even missing me !
