Simon Says: Shine Bright Like A Diamond
Hi all and welcome to another week on the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge
Thank you for joining us for the Thinking Of You Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.
This week the challenge is
Shine Bright Like A Diamond
We would like to see some sparkle and bling on your projects this week!
As it is the first Monday of the month we will be showcasing a company/designer and this week we are all using products designed by the super talented Tim Holtz! I am sure you will all have at least one of his products, so it’s time to get your ‘Tim’ supplies out and get crafty!
As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous Simon Says Stamp Store

Anita made a fabulous card and matching gift tag using Retro Ornaments and Courtyard Frameworks Dies and lots of Stickles for extra sparkle. I love the Harlequin Texture Fades ‘diamond’ background too don’t you!
Andrea made some bright shiny Christmas tree treat boxes and luminaries using Tim Holtz’s Petal Drop die, his Bubble Stencil and his Small Talk Occasion stickers.
Anna-Karin loves to create sparkly snow and made a winter scene in a Tim Holtz Vignette Box House. You’ll also find a stamp from Scribble Woodland in the background, and lots of snow.

Cathie created a card using Tim Holtz Detailed Butterflies and Distress Stickles Rock Candy Glitter.

Lols used a Mini Crazy Cats And Dogs Set and a Festive Scribbles Die Set to make a super sparkly Christmas Card
Macarena made a Christmas card with Dashing Deer and Woodlands both by Tim Holtz giving the shining effect with Embossing Powders and Opal Magic Paint.
Maura was thinking of the bright diamonds in the falling snow inside Tim Holtz’s Snowglobe die using the shiny Clear Rock Candy Glitter and Vintage Platinum Distress Glitter Dust to bring out the winter sparkle.
Meihsia created a Christmas tag using Clearsnap Colorbox Clear Embossing Powder for the Christmas tree and Tim Holtz Gilded Holiday Remnant Rubs on the background.
Sandra couldn’t resist the shine part of this challenge, so she used lots of it with the Perfect Pearls as a mist and as focal point of her card she used Tim Holtz Layered Dragonfly.
Zoey altered a piace of cardboard to create this Star that then decorated using Tim Holtz Tissue Wrap paper and Distress Crayon

Thank you for the new challenge and the fabulous DT creations – I am using a Wink of Stella on my trees for my first upload but it surely is not showing well in my photo – sigh
SUPERBES
Wonderful theme & creations with sparkle & shine. Diamonds are a girl’s best friend. Was wondering if you would take a suggestion which is that the new blog look with white background makes the ‘Post Comment’ thingie to click on a bit hard to see.
