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

Thanks for all of your fabulous entries into the ‘Pets Corner’ Challenge and we hope you will join in this week too!

This week we are challenging you to be

Young At Heart  

You can interpret this challenge in a number of ways, the obvious being to add a heart onto your project, but you can also interpret as being young at heart and adventurous or daring! However you interpret this theme we will be looking forward to seeing what you make!

It is the first Monday of the month and that means that we are showcasing a specific company. This week we have chosen to showcase our very own Simon Says Stamp Exclusive Products. You can check out the latest ‘Hey Love’ release here, its full of ‘love-ly’ stamps, dies, stencils and more.
