A Supply Challenge!

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend. Of course it is time for another challenge over here on the CCEE Stampers blog.

This week is our supply challenge, Deb our challenge hostess for the month sent all the CCEE design team members 3 pieces of 6 x 6 designer papers, 2 ribbons and a gem brad. Our challenge was to use at least 2 of the designer papers and the brad, the ribbons were optional.

Sounds pretty easy right!

So are you going to play along this week??? All you need to do is select 2 designer papers in you stash to use on your card and also include a brad. Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to this post so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CCEEC. We can't wait to see what you create!


Additional Optional Challenge

In observance of Memorial Day as celebrated in the US, many of the CCEE girls are sending the cards they made today to Cards for Heroes.org . These cards are then forwarded to service men/women to be used in communicating with their families as well as acknowledging important dates such as birthdays, anniversaries and etc. in their families. If you would like to thank a serviceman/woman by donating your card please click here.......

OK now it i s time to check out what the CCEE Stampers created this week.

This card will be going to Cards for Heroes. I didn't include a sentiment so it's pretty versatile.

This card will be sent to Cards for Heroes. I thought it would be appropriate to be sent to a spouse back home.

Specialty Papers

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to the CCEE Stampers blog. It's time for another fun challenge are you ready to play??

This week our challenge hostess Deb challenged us to make a card using any specialty type of paper. Some possibilities....vellum, acrylic, foil, flocked, metallics...anything beyond the typical cardstock and printed designer papers. (you know, those papers you bought because they were so beautiful and unusual, then put them in a folder and never used...oh wait, that was me). the rest of the materials is up to you, as long as you have some of the specialty paper somewhere on your card.

Sound like a fun challenge!

CNFS - IMAMUTTNUT!

Good morning everyone and welcome to our CCEE Stamper blog. Are you ready for another challenge!

This week it is time for our CNFS (Catchy Name Featured Stamper) challenge which is always soooo much fun. For those who don't know already, once a month our challenge hostess for the month selects someone who has a "Catchy" user name over on SCS and we then create our card around that name.

This week, Deb our challenge hostess selected the user name "imamuttnut" .... cool name don't you think and I guess that means she loves dogs hehe. Hope so cause that is what we all had to put on our cards a dog!

So are you going to play along this week??? All you have to do is create a card that has a dog on it ... I am sure you have dog stamps right!!!!!
