Thanks- Simon Says Stamp

I wanted to play along this week over at the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge.

The challenge this week is "add a little texture".

I was quite anxious this week as I waited for my MISTI to arrive

from SSS.  I seriously thought my mail carrier decided to take it home 

and get all inky herself when it didn't show up as expected. I guess she

was instructed to stop delivering mail, as she was running late, and she never

 delivered any packages! Ugh! Do they have any idea what that does to us??

I received my MISTI the next day, thankfully.  So, anyway, I made this card,

to thank the fabulous people at Simon Says Stamp. They seem to be a

 wonderful group of people. I met a few them last

year at Simon Says Create.  So here is the card:

 I LOVE Simon!

 His crown is all glittered but I couldn't capture it.

The Challenge:

Nichole challenged us this month to use pink with the option to use neutrals but I stuck mostly to pink.
You can find the challenge here:

And here is my card:

Another birthday card for my stash. This also fulfills the requirements for this weeks MIM that you can find here. Heather showed us how to glitter embellishments. What Glittery fun, I must add!!

 We were in Rochester this weekend for a swim meet so I didn't know if I'd get a chance to participate. The weather was rotten driving home so I was happy to get here safely. My DD did awesome and beat all here times. She cut 23 seconds off her 100 Fly!! I am so proud of her.

Anyway, hope you all have a great week!!

Supplies: Autumn Rose CS, Happy Birthday Die, Wonderful Words Additions Stamp, Fresh Snow Ink,
Razz. Fizz felt and Beautiful Blooms I Die, Hibiscus Burst Button, Misc Prima Flower and Flower punch. Marth Stewart Glitter in three different shades of Pink(one looks gold but it's really a rose quartz and stickles too.  Thanks for stopping!!

You Make Me SMILE

I'm having a ball over at The Play Date Cafe. Please come and join us! There's still a whole day left to celebrate and add YOUR projects!!  I wanted to do a CAS(clean and Simple) card but it did not
turn out exactly as I planned. Oh well, that happens I guess!!  I incorporated the Make It Monday into my card by die cutting letters out of fun foam and using them as stamps just like Heather showed us on the video. A little challenging stamping them. Rather than use bottle caps like Heather suggests I used Perfect Pearls and other little jars of stuff I had on hand.  I don't need to add another item to my small crafting abode!!  Thanks for looking!!
