Simon Says Stamp and Show ... Anything Goes!

Hello Everybody! Thank you for playing along with our last Challenge! The winners will be announced this Wednesday .... so don't forget to check back ... this could be your winning week! This week Simon Says Stamp and Show ... Anything Goes If you want to join in the fun ... all you need to do is ... make something ... anything ... pop it on your blog ... and come back here and link up so everyone can see what you made! Before you start take a look at what the Design Team came up with...
A tag and coordinated gift bag were the order of the day for Tracy this week using An Eye For Art Stamp set, Border Patrol stamp coordinated with an inky background from Distress Stains. A small gift bag was created from Tissue Wrap Terminology.
Ellen Vargo
Ellen created a mini watercolor journal using Wendy Vecchi's Small Pages art parts, TenSeconds Studio metal, texture fade embossing folder, Ranger's new metal patinas.  Bound with idea-ology D-rings, and  embellished with alpha parts and one of the new word bands from Tim Holtz.
Lynne made a going away book for her daughter for this weeks challenge. She used papers from the Postal Collection Paper Pack to adorn the covers. She accented her book cover with 7 Gypsies goodies, Big Ben Book Knob and Decoratif Chipboard and added a signature flower created with the Mini Tattered Floral Die.
Terry made a ATC laden with lots of vintagy stuff...! The background was created using the Graphic 45 paper-pack and the Chitchat Stickers from The Tim Holtz. Crackle Accents were used on the little Graphic 45 fairy and a little tag with a vintage style lady was placed underneath. Terry finished off her ATC with roses and pearl-strings.
Sarah Engels-Greer
Sarah was in the mood for a little up-cycling so she created a stitched postcard and envelope set from Art Journal and book pages. She used Lettuce and Sunset Orange Color Wash, Gesso, her favourite Wendy Vecchi flower stamps and a range of her great sentiments.

Candy Colwell
Candy had fun creating this vintage corset ATC card. Pink Paislee papers create the background; distressed with Vintage Photo and Black Soot Distress Inks.  The lovely trio of ladies was cut out using Honey Bee's Detail Non Stick Scissors. Their glitzy necklaces are courtesy of Waterfall and Star Dust Stickles. Finally, she added vintage tulle and Melissa Frances' Cream Pearls for that dimensional and feminine touch.

Dan
Dan's Andy Warhol inspired piece gave him the chance to give a first try to several recent purchases.  In addition to the new Spring Seasonal Distress Colours, he used Tim Holtz's Mixed Media stamp set, Wendy Vecchi's Well Dressed stamp and the Commute tissue tape dual pack. Old favourites he also used included Promarkers, Distress Stains and a Versamark Watermark ink pad.
Linda Elbourne
The Anything Goes theme was the perfect opportunity for me to finish off this little project. I moulded the metal using TSS basic tools and the Time mould. Embellishing with Tim Holtz's Gadget Gears die and SteamPunk Stamp set with a few bits of Idea-Ology.
