Simon Says Stamp Simon Card

The Stamptember event has been awesome over at Simon Says Stamp and my kids love the boy and dog at the intro of the videos they share every week. We couldn't resist making a card with the dog for the Kick Start Online Class hosted by Jennifer McGuire and Kristina Werner. Amazing class!!
(I've probably stamped this dog 100 or more times for them to color over the past couple of weeks.)

That scalloped border was my challenge - I tried to think of a way to change it up - I rubbed the whole strip in versamrk and then embossed in clear glitter embossing powder (an alternative to putting on adhesive and then coating with glitter and way less messy). I also challenged myself to use more than 10 supplies because I always find myself using only a couple and then not loving the result. I think I like this one!

Letter Sticker Swatches

Hi All,

You are probably visiting from the Kick Start Class :)

Yesterday, as you know, Tim Holtz was a guest and talked about creating technique swatches. Loved the idea, I have color swatches for paper, ink and mists but hadn't thought about technique swatches (add that to my to-do list, ha!).

Anyway, the more I thought about it, I realized even more pressing was to have a couple swatches of all my thickers, letter/number stickers and mini alphas. I used letter X because it's a letter I don't think I have ever put on a layout, ever!

Now that I see all my lettering choices and I can easily just grab the tag of choices (I did them by color groupings because I usually know I'm looking for a 'green' and it's a matter of shade or tone) I am really excited to use them.

Oh, and seeing all these X's has inspired me to take a ton of X's and do a layout of them......

What do you think?
