Hi there! Today at the Simon Says Challenge Blog we want to see all your creations with the theme "You've Gotta Have Friends". As always you can win a wonderful credit voucher at the Simon Says Stamp Store!!!
Here's a closeup of the image.
I tried to do some cool flowers like Kathy, but they don't look near as good as hers. She works wonders with those punches.
Card Ingredients:
Stamps: Penny Johnson-Bird and Bear found HERE
Inks: Distressed Inks
Paper: MME Quite Contrary
Tools: All 3 sizes retro punch, MS Branch Punch, Fiskars Starburst Border Punch
Embellies: Flatbacked pearls, ribbon
So sorry for my lack of posting lately, I am leaving for Hawaii this Sat. and will be gone for 7 days, so I have needed to get all my challenge cards done ahead before I leave. When I get back I will by dying to stamp, so hopefully I will have more time to do that.

You should check your junk folder as both emails from Wikio went in there. I recieved the first email on June 16th then a follow up email on June 21st to see if I got the first congrats email. This is the first time I've heard of this site. Apparently the paper crafts catagory is new.
