simon says summer school PLUS giveaway


Greetings Friends, How are you today? We just returned from a trip to Spain (more on that soon) and I'm home just in the nick of time to share this sneak peek with you AND A GIVEAWAY :)
I feel so fortunate to be one of the many featured artists that have been sharing cards in Simon Says Stamp SUMMER CAMP! I have really been enjoying all the posts for the last few weeks from Spain. On The SSS blog today you will find out how I hid those pesky smudges that I sometimes get on a stamped card.

Simon Says Stamp PETAL PIECES is up for grabs.  

You will see 3 more cards of mine at the Simon Says Stamp BLOG.If you leave a comment on their blog you will be entered to win The "PETAL PIECES". Please leave me a comment here letting me know that you visited SSS blog. This way I will be sure to select one of my readers.If you don't have a blog PLEASE include your email address. I will announce the random winner June 23rd. 


Since I am buried in laundry, errands and my DD's B.D (18th) I am extending this giveaway until SATURDAY 12PM. winners will be announced Sunday for both contests. Thank you so much for your visit today and for popping over to Simon's blog. Have a great weekend, Kathy

P.S. Recently I used Petal Pieces in the background of this card.

I´ve already seen them on SS´s blog and they´re jsut awesome Kathy. I just love the bright colors and thanks a lot for your great tip there too. I think, I´m going to make myself a little book with all these great tips, we get now and then, so we know, where to find them, when we need them.

I love how you always add something to your stamped images that just make them so special. I think I need to make a sign or something so I remember to try it out as well. It just adds so much. Thanks for the chance to win. I happened upon the SSS blog first today and was happy to see your 'trick'. So clever. I usually go the 'add embellishment route'.

Cheryl W said...

I visited the SSS blog and LOVED your cards. Adding all those white dots was genius! Now if I can only remember to do that on some of my own cards. LOL
