Simon Says Stamp Kid's Summer Vacation Challenge

 Hi Everyone!

It's time for another of our annual Simon Says Stamp Kid's Summer Vacation Challenge where we host a special challenge dedicated to our young designers.

Anything Goes With Sparkle

It is time for all you crafters to let your children loose in your crafty corners for a few hours. Just close your eyes and set them free to explore their creativity. Adults are allowed to help just a little bit if necessary, but we really want the children to 'DO IT' themselves as much as possible.

The Design Team all love this challenge and are ready and waiting to pop over to your blog to see your creations!

This challenge is open to all children aged between 2 and 16 inclusive

We have not 1, not 2 but  3 surprise parcels of crafty goodies, hand picked by Simon. All winners are chosen at random, Good Luck to all!

Please pop by our young designers and leave them some comment love ;-)

If you share your creation on instagram, please add this hashtag so that we can find you #ssskidschallenge

This challenge will remain open until 8am EST on 31st August. The winners will be drawn at random as soon as possible after the challenge closes.
