Here For You


I've been admiring this Simon Says Stamp die all over Blogland for ages now and am amazed at how such a simple image can be used in so many different ways.  I finally got my hands on one and this is the first time I've played with it.  I die cut the image and then coloured it with Stampin' Up markers in this week's Colour Throwdown colours.  I then inlaid it in an embossed strip of Crumb Cake card and matted it on Old Olive card.  I finished it off with a sentiment from The Craft's Meow's Vintage Clocks set.  I'm also going to enter this card in the Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge.  

Had to share this picture of Luis and Atticus from yesterday.  With those shades on Atti is clearly too cool to be kissed by daddy!
