Simon Says....................Happy Birthday !!!

Hi everone and welcome to new week on the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge

This week the challenge is.......................

 Happy Birthday !

we are celebrating our 5th year of challenges and would like to see some Happy Birthday/ Birthday Celebration Creations

We are showcasing our very own Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Products this week. You don't have to use them to join in but if you have some we would love to see them used

As this is a special celebration Simon Says Stamp will be giving away a whopping $100 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

AND 2 surprise Simon's Exclusive Stamp and Die Sets !

I have just received this new Simon Says Stamp Stencil Medium Dots - I just love it - you will probably be seeing this quite a lot, I love dots and stripes and checks all for making my one backgrounds and using whatever colour scheme takes my fancy!!!

I coordinated the Simon Says inks with Simon Says Cardstock Sea Glass and Cotton Candy along with their Sea Glass and Cotton Candy - I love the results!!! Nextly I added the gorgeous Simon  Clustered Leaves and wanted to add this little Tilda 'Fairy Dust Tilda ' blowing kisses and she fit beautifully in the circle - I went storming on, finished the card but didn't realise this image is now out of stock - ooops - too lage!!!

I added the 'Happy' from the Happy Sentiment & Die set and the  Simon Says Stamp Folded Banner with their Clear Stamp Love This. The Martha Stewart Hydrangea punch added a little flowers around the  Clustered Leaves .

This is the inside of the card wish is the basic same although altered slightly about the 'dots'

I added the Clustered Leaves and a Magnolia Champagne glass (another oops out of stock )

suitable for a Celebration.
