Okay ... yeah I know ... it was pretty obvious ... and yes it was me! The theme over at Simon Says Stamp and Show this week is indeed Stamp and Show your ... THE Wendy Vecchi Studio 490 style! Now before you start groaning and saying you can't take part ... trust me ... you can ... half of the DT did n't have a Wendy Stamp to their name and NO ... I was n't sharing mine :0) ... so they managed with just what they had in their stash ... please go look ... it truly is quite amazing!
Thank you to all you lovely people that joined in last week ... you did me proud everyone and I am truly very grateful!
We have another fabulous prize this week donated by Simon Says Stamp and don't forget that much sought after top three blinkie!
I totally indulged myself with this challenge too ... I took inspiration from The Wendy Vecchi's Stamp Binder covers and made my own ... Not a Distress Ink in sight!!! Oh no ... and don't Adirondack inks work a treat on the Grungepaper. The backing paper is Retro Grunge 
So ... tell me ... what sort of week do you have lined up??? I am off for a weekend away to Sunny Hunny ... looking forward to that I can tell you ... it's been ages since I have had hot doughnuts by the Sea!
Oh ... and I did n't come back with me shopping yesterday ... because apart from a few spacer beads I bought exactly ... erm ... zilch!
Have a good one people ... laters!

I love this binder, still haven't done mine. I've never tried adirondacks on grunge, maybe now is a perfect time!! Thanks for another great challenge. (and for the beer mat - it is beautiful, I love it. My own piece of Linda E art!!!!!)
What a wonderful cover Linda. It's a stunner (as all your makes are). I'm now the proud owner of TWO sets of Mrs V stamps so I think that requires a cover don't you, Lol!

Of course! It's the Queen of Wendyism herself! lol! This is totally drooly stuff, Miss Linda, I love it!
I must look at Wendy stamps - if you say they are the bees knees - they must be!
My sister, mother and I were all at Stevenage yesterday and I was sorry to have just missed you at LB Craft's stall.
I was talking to Karen about classes that you teach and the possibility of signing up sometime.
Anyway, we came away with some goodies and some fantastic ideas that we hope to put into practice some time soon.
Hope to meet you some other time.
Hellooooooooo. *Big waves* Do you know I just spent a week at the seaside and didn't have a single hot donut? *Polishes halo* We wont mention all the Morrissons donuts and the Beefeater meal and the ahem, chippies on the beach though... *hides halo in shame*
Love this binder cover, the colours are as usual vay gorgeous. They do look a lot like the distress inks, I wouldn't have known they weren't if you hadn't said!
Very nice and bright Linda !!
Hi Linda
Great cover and I love the bright colours! I did have a mini panic about not being able to join in this week due to my lack of Wendy V stamps... but yay I can improvise with what I have!!

Absolutely beautiful..... I was supposed to go to Stamperama but was ill so didnt make it, but seeing as I have enough stash to open a shop myself I didnt really need to go...
What a challenge. I laughed when I saw it.
It almost says: Simon Sas Stamps.
That is my DH's name. LOL
Like your creations!
Beautiful creation Linda. I had a look at Wendy Vecchi's blog and her work is georgeous. I can fully understand why you love her work. But it sure looks difficult. I'm so glad I'm attending your some of your classes at PACS this year. So then next time a challenge like this pops up I can attend ;-)
Hugs, Linda
Stunning hun just lovely. Have a great time away. I am so jealous I want to come eat dohnuts too :)

I love the use of your color pallet just beautiful.
Oh, so it is you who made me go way out of my comfort zone! Never doing a Wendy project or having any of her stamps or stuff, it was still fun! Your "Wendy" style piece is stunning! Thanks for the challenge!
