Sharon Johnson's Stamp Simply Challenge for today is to use GLITTER! I have to admit, it's not my most favorite thing to use, but I'm getting better. For some reason, the messiness bothers me... it gets on everything! But I kept mine to a minimum on this project by using chipboard that is already glittered! Woo hoo... does it get any better than that? Super easy! I also used my Quickie Glue pen to put a little glue on the flowers on the bird, then rubbed a bunch of glitter off one of my chipboard flowers for added bling! And yes, now it's everywhere! but I'm really happy with how this turned out. This card will go to a very good stamping friend who has a birthday on April 24th!
You can check out all the details for Sharon's challenge on her blog...
and this adorable sample from Julie Koerber!
Unfortunately, there won't be a sample from Dee Jackson today as we received word that she's experiencing some major health problems right now, so please say a little prayer for her today! Thanks!
Remember, if you participate in the challenge and upload to SCS, please use the keyword ssnotime30 so we can see your creation. Also, post a link to your card on Sharon's blog!
