STAMPTember at Simon Says Stamp and The 30 Day Marker Challenge - Sept 2017

Hi everyone!  I'm a little behind getting this posted

to my blog (have already shared on Instagram).  

I was so excited to have the privilege to be sent 

a NEW stamp set from Simon Says Stamp to 

use for STAMPtember 2017!  This set has 

lots and lots of awesome and encouraging sentiments

that can be used on so many projects and creations. 

It's called YOU GOT THIS and I used several of the

sentiments on my card below

The distress oxide inks (I love how they blend)and the 

adorable lion from the SugarPea Designs stamp and die

set called Caring Critters can also be found in the SSS store.  

I am sharing this card in The 30 Day Marker Challenge on Instagram
and at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenges - Stamp It for STAMPtember.  

You can find me at @craftycpa and the hastag for this 

awesome coloring event is #thedailymarker30day.  

Thanks for visiting me today! Hugs! D

Here's Sketch #420

I got this adorable Simon Says Stamp 

Christmas set last year late in the season and

didn't get a chance to use it.  I decided now is 

the time to ink it up and here's what I made!

The clear stamp set is called Retro Christmas.

Don't  you love the happy little face :o). 

Non-traditional colors are my favorite to use 

for Christmas cards.  I kept the card to nearly 

one layer (shocker!) and love how it turned out.

Simon Says Stamp who has offered a 

super generous Sketch Challenge Prize of

Here's Sketch #416

I used a couple of the fun images and a sentiment

from the Simon Says Stamp exclusive set 

called "Choose Happy - Reason to Smile"

on my DT card this time - take a look:

Aren't those little coffee mugs adorable?! 

I know coffee makes me smile every day :o) 

I have three favorite mugs that I like to rotate

so that was my inspiration in stamping a trio of mugs.
