Hey everyone! This post is a little bit different then my usual posts. I am hosting some projects for Cate, Chris’s youngest daughter as she is the guest designer on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge for the month of December! She has participated the past few years in the Kid’s Challenge, so she was so excited to be asked to be a guest designer.
For the past few weeks she has been busy going through my supplies, sketching out ideas and creating. I didn’t help her at all, except to locate a supply in my messy room 😉 To see her creative process and the clever projects she came up with all on her own was inspiring within itself!
Please consider playing along, This weeks theme is Party Time! As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store! YAY!
Party Time Invitation, by Cate Dixson
In Cate’s words: ” This card is an invite to a party, I wanted to create a watercolor look on the banner that spells out “Party”. I didn’t like how the animals looked with a harsh white background behind them so I colored it red to ease it more naturally into the background of the card.“
Ok- so now it’s time for YOU to enter the challenge. Remember, Let It Snow is the theme so have fun! Just by playing along and linking up your project to the SSS Monday Challenge post you can qualify to enter a $50 shopping voucher to the Simon Says Stamp store.
Also if you are on instagram tag your photo with #sssmchallenge 🙂 There will be ONE lucky winner that will be chosen at random, it could be you!
