Happy Wednesday! It's time for your favorite challenge at the Simon Says Stamp challenge - Anything Goes!!
My teamies and I have been playing with all things October Afternoon. I chose the "9 to 5" paper pad and matching buttons. I wanted to show off the papers, so I chose 5 of the papers and made a card based on a quilt pattern called "Rail Fence", really just a bunch of strips, turned 90 degrees each quarter. With these papers, it sure makes a colorful card:
Besides the October Afternoon products listed above, I also used a Nesties Labels One die, and flowers from these Hero Arts sets, (Stitched Frame and Layered Flowers) and plus one of their sentiments from their "XO" set, also a Sizzix die for the leaves and a bit of crochet thread.
Our generous Heidi has provided us with a $50.00 gift voucher for the random winner of this challenge - you can use it for anything you'd like at the Simon Says Stamp store!
