I've been looking forward to this challenge, I love Penny Black some might say I collect their stamps as a  hobby! Don't really need a excuse to buy a Penny Black stamp but I did anyway and brought this cute fairy called Beautiful Day.

I use the Splitcoast Sketch SC758 but cheated for the background by using stripy paper from the Echo Park Hello Baby It's a Girl.

I used the my favourite Stitched Rectangles from Simon says Stamp and add to that the Stitched Daisies to make a large daisy to match the one my fairy is holding.

To finish I used Simon says Stamp Tiny Words and Nuvo Shimmer Pen  added to the wings although my camera didn't pick it up.

Do you use Instagram ?  If so please add  #ssswchallenge to your challenge entry uploads so we can see them on there too.

Cosmo

I think this is probably my favourite card using the Simon Says Stamp Cosmo Stem. By cutting the two colours I was able to switch the centres.

I cut out the squares using Simon says Stamp Stitched Squares and make some matching mats for each one.

The sentiment was using Simon says Stamp Celebrate die along with the Tiny Words Birthday.

So it's really a quick and simple card to make.

A couple of layouts

Couple of layouts hiding in my drafts, both of my Gt Nephew. The both using some old papers.

Leftover Scraps

I had these scrap left over from a couple of Christmas cards so I decided to attached them to a piece of paper then cut a mat size and added red mat behind to make a border. It then stayed in my craft room while I decided what to do with it.

Not sure when I coloured this clear PB stamp but he was just waiting to be made into a card. I used a stitched circle die and slightly large die for the red edge. I colour over all the dots and use a white pen to make the white dots.

Sentiment is using Simon says Stamp Tiny Words Christmas and handmade fishtail banner.

Thankful the hot weather as gone and we are back to normal summer weather (its raining).

White Cosmo Stems

There's a new release at Simon says Stamp called  Believe in You and they very kindly sent me the
