simon says stamp challenge: Anything Goes!

Time for another challenge over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. Hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas.  This week's theme is Anything Goes and some of the team is using Hemptique Twine. I have tied up my present that I made for my sweet teamie Debby with this cute tag from the Hero Arts Special Delivery set and some Natural Hemptique Twine. 

Inside the bag is a little paper mache house that I have decorated with some paint, Distress Rock Candy Glitter, and Tim Holtz trees and wreath. The house is actually a little gift box (the roof comes off) perfect for fun crafty presents!

simon says stamp challenge: what's your favorite?

Time for another challenge over on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge Blog. This week's theme is "What's your favorite?". That's not an easy one for me, I love it all! I narrowed it down to some of the things that were on my craft table this week. Favorite stamps? Hero Arts. Favorite Distress Stains? All of the bright new seasonal Distress Stain colors. Thought it would be fun to make another non-traditional holiday card. I think this background would even be great for a Happy New Year card too. See full supply list below!
