Stephanie's Birthday Blog Hop!

Hello peeps,
Today's post is a special blog hop post as we have a birthday girl in the house!
Our lovely Stephanie from Simon Says Stamp has a little surprise in store for her as us Simon Says Stamp girls were being a teeny bit sneaky when we had a fabulous day together in London and were having secret talks and arranging this little blog hop and a new Celebration Stamp and Die release in Steph's honor.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEPH xxxxx
 Our lovely Heidi gave us these brand spanking new Surprise Party stamps and dies to play with which are released today and I love them :)

If you've arrived on my blog from the amazingly talented
Debby Hughes
blog then you are on the right track, if you want to join the hop from the beginning then head on over to the
SIMON SAYS STAMP STORE BLOG
for the start of the hop.

Here is what I did with mine, and of course a little Tilda joined those gorgeous stamps and dies.
The copic colours I've used are -
skin - E11, E00, E000, R12, hair - N9, N7, N5, clothes - RV95, RV93, RV91 / C3, C1, C00
 Be sure to leave a comment on each blog along the way to be in with a chance of winning one of Simon's fabby grab bags!

The next stop on the hop is the lovely
STEPHANIE WINCOTT


Steph's Birthday Blog Hop will stay open until midday on Sunday Ohio time, which is 5pm UK time.
Simon Says Stamp

That's me finished for today peeps, I hope you enjoy the hop!
Thanks for stopping by
