Hello Friends!
I am so thrilled and honoured that Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge has asked me to be in the Designer Spotlight for August! The whole team is amazing and I am so pleased to be working alongside them again. How fabulous is that! Huge thanks to the team for this opportunity.
The first challenge for August is 'Tape it Up' and the team will be featuring products by Jane Davenport this week! I had not used Jane's products before but now, I have to say, I have a new addiction and I so enjoyed making this project for the challenge!

I created a colourful journal using Jane Davenport Washi Tape, Mixed Media papers and Face stamps along with Eileen Hull's new Wrapped Journal die, all of which can be obtained from Simon Says Stamp online shop.
I started by gathering my supplies together, they are listed below (from Simon Says Stamp)
1) Start by die cutting the Wrapped Journal in matboard (mountboard) and then paint with Dina Wakley Heavy Body Paint in Sky.
2) Apply the Washi Tape in the pattern of your choice (I created a weave pattern)
3) Stamp, cut and colour the face stamp (I added short hair by hand drawing it and the frill on the dress was created with the Washi Tape) (bottom left)
4) Use the face stamp set to create a second face (I added some flowing hair, in Jane's style)
5) Line the inside of the journal with Jane's beautiful Mixed Media paper
6) Create signatures with the Mixed Media papers (Signatures measure 6.3/4" x 4.7/8")
7) Create tuck spots and pockets on the journal back, if desired
To finish the cover, the face was glued to the front and some beautiful sari ribbon from my stash provides a closure for the journal.
Handcrafted elements can be used as embellishments (I covered the clips with more washi tape to tone in with the papers I used).
A final look at the journal from the inside.
Each week there is a fabulous $50 gift voucher on offer!
All the of the products that I used, which are available from Simon Says Stamp
are listed above.
I hope you will pop over to Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge to see what the talented Design Team have made, and of course it would be lovely to see you join in the challenge!
I would like to enter my journal into the Craft Stamper Make It, Take It Challenge (August). The faces in the journal are hand stamped and coloured.
Thank you so much for your visit, I hope to see you again soon and/or next Monday for my second project for Simon Says Stamp!
Hugs, Anne xx
