This week we are welcoming back the lovely Alison Bomber aka Words and Pictures <\/a> into the Designer Spotlight. If you haven’t visited her blog before then you are in for a real treat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alison<\/a>: “It’s a thrill to be back here at the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge, alongside this fabulous team.  I always forget about my embossing folders so this was a great nudge to play with the Leaf 3D Impresslits Cut and Emboss Folder<\/a>.  The gleaming silver cobweb is hanging between the leaves just waiting to get caught in your hair as you walk by.  Come and visit Words and Pictures<\/a> to see how it all came together”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
