Go-to Gal Challenge: Simon Says Stamp

Hi everyone!

Today is a fun day because the Go-to Gals are teaming up for another installment of Go-to Challenge!  On a select Wednesday of the month the Go-to Gals take turns picking a manufacturer and challenge each other to create something using products from that manufacturer. It's a fun little hop to see how we put some of our favorite goodies to use. There are really no rules... some times we all play, some times we don't.  But it will ALWAYS be fun!

Today we are all featuring some products that have been newly released by...


I had the pleasure of combining two of Simon's stamp sets Absolutely Delightful and Beautiful Words with Delicate Dahlia as a background for my card. 
Simon Says Stamp's stamps are fabulous and have quickly become a favorite of mine. I've used the banner stamp from Beautiful Words set six times already! That's a lot of usage for me:) I simply love layering it with a sentiment to create a banner that almost pops the words right off the card. I hope you like it! 

Now don't forget to visit each Go-to Gal and leave everyone some love because we each have one of Simon's new dies to give a way to one lucky hopper who visits our blog today. All comments must be received by midnight EST on Thursday, August 30th-- thank you!. 


AND check out the colossus prize that is up for grabs over at Paper Crafts Connection. Boy oh boy, it is a good one!  Lovely Heidi from Simon Says Stamp one generous gal! We just love her... if you've never shopped Simon before, please give it a try... it is such a great shop for all of your stamping needs.

What a lovely card Windy! I really think that I prefer this die embossed instead of cut. I always forget to try doing this technique. Thanks for jogging my memory.
