Simon Says .... Metal







Hello blogland ... (wiping brow) phew .... it's Saturday and I'm only just getting round to entering my fav challenge site at Simon Says Stamp & Show where the lovely Linda E has chosen Metal as this weeks theme. I have had limited time this week (again), so in anticpation of this cool wooden house arriving which is available here, I have spent a few hours gathering all the bits n bobs I wanted to go in it. Stamps & Art Parts by Wendy Vecchi. Other elements used are from thee man himself Tim Holtz ... Ideaology findings, Texture Fade & Artful Dwelling Movers & Shapers Die, Tissue Tape,Distress Inks & Distress Stains (Vintage Photo). The wooden house has been painted with Adirondack Paint Dabber (Pitch). I have used TSS metal for the roof and Memory Foil tape for around the cotton reels.

Okay now I need to try and catch with all your posts and with blogger still playing up I may be gone some time. As always thanks for the wonderful comments, it is much appreciated.

I love this Gillian! I'm really into stars at the minute, so much so that I'm having to limit how much I use them in case it becomes boring! lol Of course, as soon as I saw them on your piece, I instantly loved it :) The Design Team are really pleased that you joined us for the Simon Says Stamp and Show Challenge this week - Thank you!
