Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week's challenge is all about being in the middle! Whether you craft something where your focal point is in the middle, you journal about what you’re in the middle of, or perhaps select a stamp or sticker from the middle of the set this week we’re all about being in the middle of things!

I created lots of texture right in the middle of my card:

I recently added the fun Waves stencil to my collection which made for the perfect background right across the middle of my card.

I created an underwater scene featuring a die cut mini seahorse and sand dollar. I completed the card with additional texture and interest using the Bubble stencil:

Thanks so much for visiting! I hope you enjoyed my project and I hope you join along with the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge! Please be sure to visit the Simon Says Stamp Monday Stamp Challenge blog to see all the DT's fabulous inspiration!

Be Sweet ;)

Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week's challenge is all about the letter "A":

I was inspired to create a page in my art journal:

I embraced the letter A and created an abstract art journal page:

For the background, I created a crackled textured Bubbles and Bars design:

Once dry, I had a lot of fun spraying and misting using the following colors all beginning with the letter "A" ~ Antiqued Bronze and Abandoned Coral Distress Spray Stains and Amethyst Color Shine:

Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! From soft shabby chic colors to white washing with gesso, being inspired by Easter to using actual pastels, this week we challenge you to be inspired by the softer side of the color wheel…

I was inspired to create a shabby / vintage style greeting card:

One can never have too many greeting cards on hand so I thought this challenge was a great time to pull out the beautiful pastel Victorian Velvet Distress Ink pad and put it to good use. The background of the card was stamped with the text image from Papillon, heat embossed, then Victorian Velvet and Iced Spruce Distress Inks were randomly applied. For the focal point, a Mini Cabinet card was adhered in place and embellished with a crackled die cut Mini Butterfly:

For the sentiment, a Remnant Rub was applied:

Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Do you have stamps that are versatile? That can be used many ways? This week we challenge you to use a stamp multiple ways on the same project or use the same stamp in different colors or ways on multiple projects!

I was inspired to create a layout using 1 stamp, 3 ways:

The woodgrain stamp from Trust The Magic cling stamp set was the perfect versatile stamp for my outdoor themed layout featuring a photo of Connor that was taken more than 15 years ago:

I inked up the stamp with Vintage Photo Distress Ink then stamped my heart out on a piece of paper from the French Industrial Paper Stash collection. Once I was finished stamping, I put my newly stamped patterned paper to use in the following three ways: I pieced a patchwork background border:

die cut Mini Heart embellishments:

and a frame to highlight a stamped butterfly image:

Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! Referencing the saying "March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb" this week, we're all about animals!

I was inspired to create a layout featuring my two sweet dogs ~ Gretchen and Griffin:

I love to run but my dogs little four legs can't quite go the distance, so I take them for a ride in their stroller.

One of my favorite photos of my sweet dogs positioned in a Cabinet Card Frame made for a great focal point on my layout.

To compliment the vintage frame, I combined pretty patterned papers from the Wallflower Cardstock Pack then embellished with Rusty Hinge colored die cut Grungeboard Gadget Gears.

For added interest, various Remnant Rubs were randomly applied:

Hi there! It's time for an all new Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge! This week's challenge is ALL about the letter "B"!

I was inspired to create a layout featuring shades of blue, bricks and butterflies.

When thinking of the letter B, a brick textured and stamped brick background made for the perfect background for my layout featuring a photo of sweet Meredith that was taken more than 10 years ago while we were vacationing at the happiest place on Earth ~ Disney World :)
