Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

Thank you for joining us for the Nautical/By the Sea Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too. Please scroll down to see who is in the spotlight and who is the voucher winner!

This week the challenge is

Add Some Texture

There are so many ways we can add a little bit of extra interest and texture to our projects, from corrugated card, to embossing folders, pastes, gels, fabrics, the list is endless! We will be looking forward to seeing what you use to add more texture to your creation!

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store
