Simon Says Lets get Distressing ! :-)

We had an absolutely fantastic response to Dawny P's sketch last week :-) It seems you all liked it and the cards you made were all fabulous :-) We do realise that for many of you your time is limited with the school hoidays and other commitments and we really appreciate you taking the time to make a card for our challenge.
It is lovely to see that a few of your children are joining in too. We would like to encourage this,, if your child makes a card please link it in and they will be included in the prize draw too :-) even hubby's !! Family Crafting !! :-)

We have a fabulous challenge for you this week, you may be feeling distressed, particularly if you have teenagers on school holiday !! Am speaking from experience !!
The theme this week is

LETS GET DISTRESSING !! :-)

The Design Team have made some wonderful creations for you to see and hopefully get some inspiration from ! :-) If you click on their name you have a direct link to their personal blog so please go and leave them a nice comment :-) There may be hidden blog candy along the way too so you'd better go and visit them all !!!

Diese Woche haben wir auch wieder ein tolles Thema für Euch und war: Distressing Die DT Mitglieder haben ein paar wunderschöne Werke zur Inspiration gezaubert und manche haben ein verstecktes BlogCandy für Euch. Also schaut mal auf den Blogs vorbei :-)

Heti kihívásunk témája: Distressing. Lefordítva: lehangoló! Tépés, tintázás, gyűrés stb.:) Inspirációnak nézzétek meg a DT tagok által készített alkotásokat! Érdemes blogjaikra is ellátogatni, hiszen ismét blog candy vár rátok valahol!:) Jó alkotást és sok szerencsét kívánok!

Esta semana tenemos un reto fantástico para vosotras. Quizá estéis un poco estresadas y "desgastadas", sobre todo si tenéis a los niños de vacaciones en casa, ¡y lo digo por experiencia!.
Así que el tema para esta semana es...
¡HAGAMOS DISTRESSING! Ya sabéis que el distressing es la técnica que consiste en dar a vuestras creaciones un aire desgastado y envejecido por el paso del tiempo.
El Equipo de Diseño ha realizado algunas preciosas creaciones en las que esperamos que encontréis inspiración. Y si hacéis click sobre ellas, teneis enlaces directos a sus blogs personales, donde podéis tener el detalle de dejarles un comentario... y quizá también encontrar "blog candy". ¡Así que corred y visitadlas a todas en sus blogs!
¡Buena suerte y que os divirtáis creando!

W tym tygodniu zapraszamy wszystkich do zbiorowego SZARGANIA!!! Projektantki bloga Simon Says Stamp przygotowały mały przegląd tego, co można zrobić skrapowo w tym temacie :)

Oh wow !! The entries for the fruity challenge last week were gorgeous !! You are such a talented bunch and it was a pleasure to see all your creations :-) We will be back later with a winner for the draw but first we have to make sure we have you all in the hat ! I am so sorry Mr Linky wasn't working properly but he seems to have fully recovered now !! :-)

This week the Sketch Queen of Blogland, Dawny P, has made us a sketch to follow,, Fab eh !! :-) She has also agreed to be in our Designer Spotlight ,,, :-) Thanks so much Dawny on both counts :-)

The usual rules apply,,, not many of those :-) You have to follow the sketch,, more or less,,, and it must be a new creation,,, apart from that you can please yourself :-) Heidi is giving us the fabulous prize of a $25 shopping spree to the Simon Says Stamp Store and Heidi will also pay for the shipping too :-)

ALSO there is hidden candy on the Design Team blogs,,, it could be one it could be several !! You won't know till you've visited us all !! So go hunting !!! :-) Good Luck to everyone :-)

Diese Woche haben wir einen Sketch für Euch, den DAWNY für uns entworfen hat. Die Regeln sind einfach, ihr müsst nur ein Werk nach dem Sketch machen, man sollte den Sketch aufjedenfall wieder erkennen. Welche Motive ihr dafür verwendet ist egal.


Ezen a héten Dawny P vázlata alapján kell az alkotásaitokat elkészíteni. A többi a fantáziátokra van bízva. Ami nagyon fontos, hogy új alkotás legyen és ne egy régebben készített! A nyeremény ismét egy 25 dolláros utalvány a Simon Says Stamp webáruházban! Köszönjük Heidi! Érdemes ellátogatni a DT tagok blogjaira, valamelyikőjüknél blog candy vár rátok!

Esta semana la Reina de los Sketches de Bloglandia, Dawny P, ha diseñado un esquema (sketch) para nuestro reto. ¿No es genial? Además, ha aceptado unirse en esta ocasión a nuestro Equipo de Diseño para mostrar su interpretación del esquema junto con las nuestras. ¡Muchas gracias, Dawny, por las dos cosas!
Por lo demás, las reglas son las (poquitas) de siempre: tenéis que basaros en el sketch, más o menos, y debe tratarse de una creación nueva. Al margen de eso, tenéis vía libre para dar rienda suelta a vuestra creatividad.
Heidi ha donado una vez más como fabuloso premio un vale de compra de 25 dólares en la tienda Simon Says Stamp, y también corre con los gastos de envío.
¡Buena suerte a todas!


So here it is :-)



DAWNY made this fabulous card ,, please don't forget to leave her a comment on her blog :-)



The Design Team have also made some fabby creations for you to see :-) Please don't forget to leave them a comment :-)

Alright everyone, this weeks challenge is to make a project (card, scrapbook page, 3D item, bookmark, etc.) using SUMMER FRUITS or SUMMER FRUIT colours!!!!! The options are ENDLESS!!!!!

Here are the Design Team creations for your viewing pleasure! Please be sure to stop by their blogs - you never know when SURPRISE BLOG CANDY might pop up somewhere!!!!! (hint hint) Also, show them some love as they all work SO hard to bring you the FINEST projects on the WWW!!!!!

Heute haben wir wieder ein neues Thema für Euch und zwar:
Sommerfrüchte
Ihr könnt auf Euren Werken Sommerfrüchte zeigen oder nur mit Farben arbeiten.
Die Möglichkeiten für diese Challenge ist endlos :-)

Schaut auf jedenfall mal bei den DT Mitgliedern vorbei, verschiedene haben ein Blog-Candy für Euch versteckt!

¡Atención todas! El reto de esta semana es usar FRUTAS VERANIEGAS o los COLORES típicos de esas frutas para crear un proyecto (tarjeta, página de scrapbook, marcapáginas, objeto alterado, etc...). ¡Las posibilidades son infinitas!

Aquí tenéis las últimas creaciones del Equipo de Diseño para deleitaros la vista. Por favor, no dejéis de pasar por sus blogs... ¡quién sabe si puedes encontrar Blog Candy inesperado! También es una forma de agradecerles con cariño lo duro que trabajan para traeros algunos de los mejores proyectos de todo Internet.

No olvidéis que esta semana, como siempre, la afortunada ganadora del reto ¡recibirá un vale de 25 dólares para comprar en Simon Says Stamp! Y con los miles de artículos que encontraréis en la tienda, no será difícil emplear ese vale en haceros con un material fabuloso.

La ganadora será elegida al azar y anunciada el próximo miércoles. Así que manos a la obra y recordad que el enlace de Mr Linky debe remitir al post concreto de este proyecto y no a la dirección genérica de vuestro blog. ¡Estamos impacientes por ver vuestras creaciones!

¡Buena suerte y, sobre todo, que os divirtáis!


Mostani kihívásunk témája: "Nyári gyümölcsök-nyári gyümölcsök színei". Alkotásaitokon a nyár gyümölcsei vagy ezeknek a gyümölcsöknek a színei szerepeljenek!

Simon Says Paper Piece :-) + hidden candy !!

First of all we would like to say a big thank you to all the entrants of last weeks challenge. We do realize that most of Europe has been enjoying a heatwave so it must have been a sacrifice for you to shut yourself in a room to make a card :-) Chris says the weather in Canada is lovely too so global fab weather :-)

I would also like to say a special thanks to all of the fabulous designers over the last few weeks who have been in our 'Designer Spotlight' I am sure you agree they were all tremendous :-)

For this weeks challenge we decided to make it nice and easy for you, :-)

PAPER PIECING :-)

We would like you to cut out a piece of paper and stick it onto your image instead of colouring it ! This is a fabulous technique to know especially if you make a mess of colouring and need to rescue a disaster ( yeah ok it happens to me too :-))

The Design team have made some fabulous cards for you to see and to give you some ideas :-) As an added incentive we have a little mini blog hop for you !! :-) Some of the DT will be giving away blog candy on the card connected with this challenge :-) You need to find them and leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning !!!

Heidi is also giving the usual $25 shopping spree to the Simon Says Stamp Store including shipping to a lucky entrant drawn at random :-)If you have facebook you can become friends with Simon Says Stamp on there too :-) Just look for "Simon Stamps".


Hemos decidido que el reto que os proponemos esta semana sea bonito y fácil a la vez... ¡RECORTE DE PAPEL O DISEÑOS RECORTADOS! El Equipo de Diseño ha realizado varias fabulosas tarjetas para proporcionaros algunas ideas. Además, ciertos miembros del Equipo de Diseño darán en sus blogs "Blog Candy" a través de sus tarjetas para este reto. ¡Sólo tienes que encontrar esas tarjetas y dejar un comentario para lograr una oportunidad de ganar! Y como siempre, Heidi ha donado un vale por 25 dólares de compra en Simon Says Stamp (¡incluídos los gastos de envío!) que irá a parar a una de las participantes en el reto de esta semana. La afortunada será elegida al azar. Además, si eres usuario/a de Facebook puedes añadir como amigo a Simon Says Stamp ¡Buena suerte y feliz recorte!

Heute haben wir wieder eine neues Thema für Euch und zwar PAPER PIECING. Benutzt ein Stück Papier in Eurem Stempelmotiv. Eurer Fantasie ist keine Grenzen gesetzt *g* Einige DT Mitglieder haben heute ein kleines Candy für Euch. Besucht die Blogs und findet heraus, wer ein Candy verbunden mit dieser Challenge hat :-)

E heti kihívásunk témája: " PAPER PIECING" a lényege, hogy az alkotásodon szereplő bélyegző lenyomatot, ff. képet ne csak színezd, hanem papírdarabokkal díszítsd ki! Pl. ha egy szoknyás kislány a bélyegződ, akkor a szoknyáját vágd ki egy papírból és ragaszd rá!
Nekünk ezen a héten van egy kicsi blogszökkelésünk is: látogass el a DT tagok blogjára és rá fogsz találni, hogy kinél/kiknél van Blog Candy ezzel a kihívással kapcsolatban!
A nyeremény ismét egy 25 dolláros utalvány a Simon Says Stamp webáruházban!
Sok sikert és jó alkotást kívánok!

Macie szansę wygrać 25$ na zakupy w sklepie SimonSaysStamp!!!
W tym tygodniu gościnnie na naszym blogu występuje BEV. Koniecznie odwiedźcie jej bloga, żeby zobaczyć, jak piękne rzeczy tworzy.
