Simon Says Create 2024 Create It Take Its and Impressions

Yup- that is me and the Tim Holtz taken first thing when I walked into Simon Says Create in Columbus Ohio this last weekend! I was able to see so many of my crafty heroes up close and make many projects with their fantastic products. There were two full days of shopping and creating in two large rooms and I loved every minute! I wasn't able to take the classes but still had so many hands on instruction at each CITI table. 

Look who signed my Idea-ology project making it a keepsake I will keep forever! We also had the opportunity to sit down with many of Tim's content creators, and I made these cards with Richele Christensen and Cheiron: 

Do you believe we could just sit down and do a make and take with Jennifer McGuire and Gina K of Gina K Designs?? The line was soooo long when I snapped this picture I wasn't that lucky, but Rina K and Mindy Eggen did help me make these two beauties featuring new polymer sheets we could buy (and of course I did.) 

I have been a huge fan of Pear Blossom Press's EZ Lights for years, and Trinity Stamps has created many die sets to feature these lights as well as other fun dies like the donut shaped set. Here are a couple more cards I made with 49 and Market products and Spellbinders BetterPress plates:

I made many more cards, but if I included them all this blog post would be very very long. Here are a couple of the many I made with Simon Says Stamp products:

The two day Simon Says Create show was well worth every penny of the $45 it cost. I have many more card samples and lots of new products to play with as soon as I have time. Even though I didn't get into the classes so I can't comment on those, I do recommend the show and Create It Take Its very very much!
