Simon Says Stamp-tember Hop and Treasure Hunt !

Hi Everyone!! Are you ready for a lot of fun to begin? I sure hope so...


For the second year in a row, Simon Says Stamp and Show & The Simon Says Stamp Challenge are joining forces to bring you a SUPER hop and treasure hunt to celebrate the approaching fall and winter holidays.

To help celebrate we will be giving a BIG BASKET OF CRAFTING GOODIES to the winner of this hop! PLUS 3 $25 VOUCHERS to the Simon Says Stamp Store ! The vouchers will be the hidden treasure on 3 DT blogs and you have to find them.

The Blog hop will start at on August 31st, 2011 on the Simon Says Challenge Blog and will finish on September 5th, 2011 at on the Simon Says Stamp & Show Blog.

The theme for both challenges this week will be ANYTHING GOES. You can make anything you like … a card, an ATC, a Scrapbook layout … the possibilities are endless!

You will need to hop through each blog, find the little parcel of goodies and make a note on which designer’s blog you found them. You do not HAVE to comment on all the DT blogs but we would appreciate any comments you would like to leave. If you lose your way at any time a full list of all the participating blogs with links will be available on Simon Says Stamp Challenge and the Stamp and Show Challenge blogs.

For more details please refer to the Simon Says Stamp Challenge or the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge blogs.

If you arrived here from the uber talented Domi's blog then you are going in the right direction otherwise you need to start at the beginning on the Simon Says Stamp Challenge.

Here is my creation for the blog hop, I decided to create a tag, using lots of distress inks, Tim Holtz stamps and goodies along with Hero Arts and the use of a Textile, Cuttlebug Folder....to view what I used to create this tag, just click on the links at the bottom of this post...of course if you would like to know more on how I created this, then please ask away...seeing as this post is quite long, I won't go into details on how I created it...

From here you need to go to the super talented and inspiring Ellen Vargo for more inspiration :) 

Here is the blog list for you to hop along and find some hidden treasure
Simon Says Stamp and Show

The last stop on the hop is the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge blog. You will need to leave a comment there with the names of the 3 blogs with treasure chest pictures. The comments will be moderated so you will not be able to see the answers.

Thanks for joining us on this blog hop, I sure hope you will have a lot of fun, find some inspiration and join in on the creating...this month at Simon Say's is going to be a lot of fun, so be sure to pop in to see what is all going on...

Have a wonderful day everyone!!
