Simon Says Stamp featured a set of flowers with the theme Best Friend Ever. I see the kind of friends my girls have and they would be the exact friends I would have chosen if I were them. Best part is I get to be friends with their moms, so my friendship multiplies.
I’ve listed and linked all products that I have used because I enjoy making cards. I am not affiliated with Simon Says Stamp.
Uniquely Creative- is a company in Australia. I used to have a subscription to their kits. They always included embellishments that were so cute. The one featured in the card is called Coral Pearls. Its beautiful in person.

My oldest daughter turned 17 this month. I had colored the card and finished it and was placing the final touches when I moved my hand over an image. The black ink wasn’t completely dried and I ended up smearing the ink over the image. I thought to myself, I can still save this card, so I decided to cut out the images and glue them to blue crafting foam. I added Simon Says Stamp Mini Stars to spruce it up. In addition, I also included Lawn Fawn’s Quinn’s 123’s to show that the card was telling a story of critters celebrating a 17th birthday. Its a cute card trying to convince myself! But in my heart it wasn’t what I had planned.
I love to color so starting over isn’t a big deal. Here is the second card for my oldest daughter’s birthday!
What I learned from this experience is that you can create a different cards with one stamp set. I like both of them so I will give them to my oldest. Happy Birthday B-Girl!

Stopping by with a Christmas tag that you can use as an ornament too. I am having fun with my color pencils. I created a scene using stamp from Lawn Fawn called Snow Globe Scenes.

Simon Says Stamp Kit , We Believe, has a lot of creativity and options. Today I am showing you three simple tags that I made using Prismacolor Premier Color Pencils and Kraft paper. To spruce up the tags I also used Gelly Roll pens.
At the age of ten I was fortunate that Mr Bob Friedman took me in as art student. Mr Friedman was an artist from New York. He showed me how to use oils, pencil, charcoal, pastel, and other mediums. Back then, I used to like to do portraits of people. My major in college however was Polticial Science and I minored in Visual Arts. Faith Ringold was one my instructors at the University California, San Diego. We had this conversation about going to graduate school for art. I remember her saying, you don’t need a masters in art to be successful, you just need to do it. I totally got what she meant , I just needed to do art. Which was, and still is one of the things that I love. I am making cards and enjoying the creativity and especially the community of cardmakers.
This is my second set of 150 color pencils. But you don’t really need that many pencils to start. The basic set of 12 primary color pencils can do the tags. Also you don’t need the whole set of Gelly Roll pens just a few will do. However if art is your passion, like mine is, the whole set provides colors and options to add interest to your cards.
One more thing: I used Zing embossing powder in Rouge to stamp the phrase Just for You. I have looked for a link but I can not find it, as it was something I had for a while. I stamped the images with Ink On 3 Fadeout No line coloring from Simon Says Stamp. The link is included for you to make it easier to find.
