STAMPtember blog hop!

It's Simon Says Stamp’s STAMPtember® event time again!
For this week, we challenge you to use a Simon Says Stamp exclusive stamp – or any Simon brand product to help us celebrate!
I like this newly released stamp set because I really NEEDED some Thanksgiving stamps, and this set has a variety of images. Some of the images seemed a tad "cutesy" for what I wanted on this card, so I altered the images with my favorite glitter to give it a different look.

This technique is about as easy as it gets, yet as stampers we STILL often forget that we can change the way an image appears. Make it yours!

For your inspiration, we are each sharing a special trick or technique on our blogs, so be sure to hop around and check them all out!

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. For more than 10 years we have celebrated rubber stamping and its glory. We work to bring companies from around the world together in a one stop shopping environment. 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 delight 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.

Don't forget to show us what you're created with your Simon Says Stamp exclusive product!
Join us this week at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge Blog and your project could win a $50 gift voucher to Simon Says Stamp.  We draw a new winner each week. Your project could also be chosen to be featured in our weekly designer spotlight.

  38. You are quickly earning the name Glitter Queen in my mind! And that's a good thing! I always try to use glitter more than I do, but I forget or get lazy or get distracted. I look forward to whenever glitter shows up in your projects because it inspires me to use it more often. You are constantly clever and I really liked the combo of the blingy-bling-bling with the fantastically messy color splat. LOVE the final look!
