**ADD AN ANIMAL** 200th Challenge with Simply Create Too!!

Happy Friday!  It's our 200th challenge at Simply Create Too and our theme this month is Add An Animal!!! 

I got this stamp set in a grab box and wasn't sure I'd ever use it, but I think the card turned out really cute.  I don't have a ton of Mama Elephant stamps but these are kind of adorable.  And who doesn't love ice cream?

Woodsy Winter -- Momenta Brand Ambassador Post!!

Happy Hump Day!!  I've got another Momenta Brand Ambassador post for you today, and I'm playing along again with the #MerryAndBrightChallenge!  Today's fun theme is #WoodlandCreatures and I instantly knew I collage together various die cut reindeer and trees to create a scene.  I also used my brand new Snowflake and Deer embossing folder set on the background!  After embossing a piece of watercolor cardstock twice with the Snowflake folder, I colored it with various shades of blue and grey from the Brea Reese Jewels and Classics Professional Watercolor Sets.

If you missed out on the first few days of the #MerryAndBrightChallenge, here's all the scoop on what's coming up!

Simply create a card using each day's theme and your favorite Momenta, Brea Reese and or Art-C products and post it using the hashtag #MerryandBrightChallenge!!!  Be sure to tag whichever company you use, #breareese @breareese #mymomenta @mymomenta #myartc @my_artc with your creations!! 

Now, back to what I made!  

I used a few different paper pads to create this card. I always think the paper is the star of the show!  The Metallic Ink paper pad was what I used for the main scenic image.  I added in extra trees cut from the Abstract Marble and Watercolor paper pads to make everything pop.

Be sure to check out all the fun Momenta products!  Thanks so much for looking and happy crafting.  Laters!!

Thirty-One Days of Crafting 2016 - Day Three - World Wildlife Day!

I've never really been much for animals.  I mean I'd look at cute ones and then kind of be done with it.  A few years ago though, I became a dog person, and ever since I've had a greater appreciation for most creatures great and small (I say most because no one appreciates insects and snakes and stuff).

Since today is World Wildlife Day, I wanted to share a really cool card with you.

Just a few challenges:

• Inspiration Destination - #75 Anything Goes
• Sweet Stamps - Anything Goes
• DLArt Linky Party
• Just Keep On Creating Linky Party
• 2 Creative Chicks Showcase #8 
• Artistic Inspirations - #151 Anything Goes
