Hi all and welcome to another week on the\u00a0Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge<\/a><\/p>\n

Thank you for joining us for the Red\/White\/Blue Challenge and we hope you will all join us again this week too.<\/p>\n

Please CLICK HERE<\/a> or scroll down to see the lucky winner<\/p>\n

This week the challenge is<\/p>\n

FLORA AND FAUNA\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

Definition:\u00a0Flora<\/b>\u00a0is plant life;\u00a0fauna<\/b>\u00a0refers to animals. The handiest way to remember\u00a0flora and fauna<\/b>\u00a0is that “flora<\/b>” sounds like flowers, which are part of the plant world, and\u00a0fauna<\/b>\u00a0sounds like “fawn,” and fawns are part of the animal kingdom.<\/p>\n

You can choose Flora and\/or Fauna.<\/span><\/p>\n

As always Simon Says Stamp will be giving away $50 voucher to shop at the fabulous\u00a0Simon Says Stamp Store<\/a><\/p>\n
