Simon Says..... Easter or Spring and some GLIMMER!!!!

That's right...GLIMMER!!! Anything shimmery, shiny, sparkly!!!! What a GREAT challenge this week...so fun!!!! And of course, Easter is RIGHT around the corner & if you are like me, you have a few Easter cards to get mailed!!! If you don't celebrate Easter, or just want to make a Spring card, that is OK too!! Here is a really great video with Heidi Swapp on using the Glimmer Mists...really informative & inspirational!!!!

Hallo,
heute haben wir ein neues Thema für Euch und zwar

OSTERN und GLIMMER

Benutzt was glitzerndes auf Euren Werken :-)

Következő kihívásunk témája "Tavasz/Húsvét és csillogás". Alkotásod lehet húsvéti képeslap, ajándékdoboz, kosárka, egy oldal a kedvenc húsvéti fotóiddal stb....ha nincs ilyen képed, akkor készíthetsz a tavaszról is, a lényeg, hogy használj valami csillogós dolgot az alkotásodon. Inspirációt meríthetsz a DT tagok alkotásából. Vendégtervezőnk ismét Gunn, aki egy hónapon keresztül csatlakozik majd hozzánk és kápráztat el bennünket csodás alkotásaival!! A nyeremény egy 25 dolláros utalvány, amit a szerencsés nyertes a Simon Says Stamp webáruházban vásárolhat majd le.



Simon Says Stamp Superstore carries a HUMONGOUS collection of sparkly things....glimmer mists, rhinestones, shimmerz, stickles, glitter, etc. etc. You MUST head to the store and check it out!!!!!

We have asked Gunn to be our Guest Designer for a month! We are so thrilled to have her join us and to share in her amazing talent!!! If you haven't already chekced out her blog, you really should! She is a hidden gem and we are so happy to have found her!!!! Here is her FABBY creation for this weeks challenge:

Heti kihívásunkon egy adott vázlat alapján kell az alkotásodat elkészíteni. DT tagunk, Iris készítette ezt a fantasztikus vázlatot, köszönjük! A DT tagok alkotásaikon Magnolia bélyegzőket használtak, ha neked nincs, nem baj, bármivel helyettesítheted a képet, ha van, akkor viszont szeretnénk ha használnád azt.A nyeremény egy 25 dolláros utalvány, amit a Simon Says Stamp webáruházban költhet el a szerencsés nyertes.

The DT is showcasing Magnolia stamps this week, but you can enter anything! IF you have Magnolia's - we'd love to see them in your work too!!!! ANY excuse to ink up these cuties is good enough for me!!!!! Simon Says Stamp is working HARD to stock every single Magnolia stamp and are continually getting more and more shipments in!!! They have a GREAT selection, so head to the STORE to check them out!!!! They also carry the Magnolia flowers and papers!!!! How GREAT is that???
