Hello Sunshine! - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Hello lovely peeps,
The weather here definitely feels like it's on the turn at the moment, chilly mornings & blustery showers & with way too many thunderstorms for my liking! Trying to be all grown up & professional when it's thundering & I'm at work is not easy when all I really want to do is hide in the nearest cupboard lol. Fingers crossed our warmer weather & sunny days returns soon, & without the thunderstorms of course :)

On to today's card -

 at
& this week our challenge is
 
 My lovely teamies and I are featuring Simon's very own fabulous exclusive products on our cards this week, if you have any we'd love to see them but as always it's not compulsory to use them to join our challenge.
 My card today features loads of Simon's fabby products, from card stock to stamps & dies, way too many to link on the challenge blog but you will find them all linked at the end of my post.
I've die cut Simon's full card Sunshine die and used it as a stencil & used chalk to colour my sun & also to colour Simon's medium size butterfly.
I've also die cut a selection of Simon's tags and embossed or stamped on them for some added texture & all the paper edges have been lightly inked with Pumice Stone distress ink.

I'm entering my card in the following challenges -
The Paper Shelter - punches & dies, Crafty Sentiments - anything goes
I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself today, aching & sneezing & just generally feeling wiped out. I thought I may just have been a bit tired due to working loads of extra hours but the sneezing, sore throat & staff ringing in sick was a bit of a give away that I wasn't just tired. Oh well relaxing on the sofa blogging and colouring sounds really appealing now & at least they are things I enjoy lol.
 That's me finished for today peeps, thanks for stopping by

Make It Sparkle - Simon Says Stamp DT Card

Hello lovely peeps,
Oh my goodness I can't believe another week has flown past!
I've been working lots of extra shifts due to staff being off enjoying their Summer holidays & as much as I love my job I cannot wait for the weekend when I have two days off :)
I'm trying not to think about all the housework I need to catch up on & focusing on playing in my lovely craft room & chilling out with my feet up doing a bit of blog hopping which seems to me the only sensible option lol.

On to today's card -
