Sharon's Stamp Simply challenge for today is to make your card totally girlie! Well, what's more girlie than flowered ribbon, polka dots, scallops, bling and talking on the phone??? As a retailer, I actually had these new stamps from My Favorite Things on order last week, and so I knew early in the week that this set was going to have to be what I used for this challenge. I'm really anxious to do some paper-piecing with that image, but for the sake of stamping simply, I refrained from it... this time!
Other than knowing what stamps I was going to use, I basically built the card around that flowered ribbon. I've had it forever and figured today's challenge would be a good time to finally use it!
So, if you're not too busy today or over the weekend, join us and make a girlie-girl card! Remember, if you upload to SCS please use the keywords ssnotime42 and regardless of where you upload online, please be sure to leave a comment with a link at Sharon's blog!
Samples for inspiration from the other team members can be found here...

LOVE the ribbon - and of course the card! You hid that ribbon before I got to the store so I couldn't buy it all, didn't you??? ;-)

I have to agree with everyone this is just so cute.When I saw these stamps without the heads I thought oh thats strange I don't think I would care for them but when you make cards using them I just think oh WOW that is so cute it makes me want that set so my list keeps growing I am sure Keith is thinking you can stop now lol but I say keep those ideas coming they are just awesome.
