Misty Memories: A Simon Says Stamp Challenge

Mists and Sprays are popular products to use with your stamping. This week, the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge is to use a mist or spray along with your stamps. Sounds like fun, doesn't it? It is!

\

For this project, I used a mist on the background patterned paper to highlight my stamped images. A simple technique that really works! I stamped and embossed the flowers on vellum. I love doing this. It gives me layers that are still light. Simon Says Stamp no longer carries the stamp that I used, but I've linked to a similar stamp below. Both are beautiful!

Combine your stamps with a mist or spray and link your project to 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.

Lucky Dog; A Simon Says Stamp Challenge

I'm feelin' lucky! This week a made a simple scrapbook page with just a hint of clover. I really like the 6x8 page format that is currently appearing in many of the mini scrapbook binders. A perfect size for showcasing my vintage vernacular photography collection.

For this page, I made most of my own embellishments. Where's the journaling? On the back! I've been doing this recently to keep the page cleaner. I kinda like it.

The shamrock was created with the hearts from a Dina Wakely stamp set. Truthfully, these stamps have been on my craft table since Valentines Day. I really need to clean it off more often!

Here are a few of the supplies that I used:

Stamp and Stencil Fun

I feel like I am the luckiest woman in the world.
I have a wonderful husband, a family that I adore, and a lovely collection of stamps and stencils that allow me to create almost anything. It's been a rough week. Thank goodness for stamping therapy!

I created a scrapbook page this week that features Autumn leaves. I am really enjoying creating leaves this year. These leaves were cut with my Sizzix, colored with distress inks, and embellished with golden shattered circles. The circles were so easy to make with embossing paste and a stencil. I love that golden glow.

I also love my new Waffle Flower alphabet stamps. They have more than one of most letters so that I was able to spell out "Adventure" in its entirety before stamping. I was pretty excited about that. Something only a stamper would understand. ;)

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 stamps and stencils!

...and the color blue

We've got the January Blues at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog.  No, we're not feeling blue. We're celebrating it! And we have some blue projects to inspire you as well.

When I think of blue, I think of my Mother.  Blue is her favorite color!  I chose blue to create a scrapbook page for my heritage album.  My heritage album is different than most.  Years ago, I spent many years doing genealogy research with noted genealogists, and have amassed an impressive collection of names and dates.  But that's not what I wanted to focus on here.  Census reports and death certificates provide valuable information, but they don't reveal much about the actual person, so in my album, names and dates have been replaced with bits of personal information.  It's also only 8x8 in size, which is perfect for those small vintage photos.

Are you feeling blue?  Celebrate the color and show us your January Blues at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge blog and you could be the winner of our weekly $50 gift voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store!
