Simon Says...it's time to HOP!!!! It's STAMPTEMBER, so get on your hopping shoes!!!

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 31 st, 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! The DT is showcasing Cuttlebug folders, so if you have them, we'd love to see your creations with them!!! (But not a requirement!!)

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 for more details.

If you arrived here from DAWNY P'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 hop:

The CS is ALPINE ASTER and the DP is LILAC AVENUE from Kaiser. I have used the Swiss Dots folder, my circle Nestabilities and my Cuttlebug. The flowers, pearl and ribbon are from my stash! I have added Crystal Stickles to her wings to make them sparkle and a Lemon AT YOU SPICA pen to the frogs crown! The image is FAIRYTALE TILDA from Magnolia and I coloured her with COPICS.

From here you need to go to the super talented NANCY W for more inspiration :-) I would appreciate a comment if you would like to leave one Smile

Here is the list of blogs in order in case you get lost!! Good luck & have fun!!!
