Simon Says STAMPtember 2025

Good Morning!  Very early morning!

It's September 1st and that means Simon Says Stamp 

kicks off their annual STAMPtember Celebration!  

Can you believe it is here already?!?!

Somehow I managed to get on the list to receive one of the 

Simon Says Stamp exclusive stamp sets.  It is the cutest!

Simon Says Stamp My Boo.

How FUN!

Each day this week I will be sharing a card created from this very set.

So let's begin!

Simon Says Stamp My Boo. stamp set.

Each ghost was fussy cut.

And each ghost has a Simon Says Stamp Wobbler added to the back.

They make the ghosts wiggle and jiggle, lots of fun!

embossed with it.  The texture is subtle but still noticeable.

An oldie but a goodie!

If you're fond of sand dunes and salty air
Quaint little villages here and there

(Old Cape Cod, that old Cape Cod)

If you like the taste of lobster stew
Served by a window with an ocean view
(You're sure) You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod

Winding roads that seem to beckon you
Miles of green beneath the skies of blue
Church bells chimin' on a Sunday morn'
Remind you of the town where you were born

If you spend an evening you'll want to stay
Watching the moonlight on Cape Cod Bay
You're sure to fall in love with old Cape Cod
(Aah-aah)

If you spend an evening you'll want to stay (on Cape Cod Bay)
