CCEEers Honor New Beginnings

Here is this week's challenge for the CCEE Stampers Challenge......

As the last of our celebratory month, I would like you

to make a baby card OR a wedding

card......your choice.

(

If you have lots of time, you could make both....lol!!!) 

 

I made a wedding card.  Since you can't really see it well, let me descriibe/help....The die I used is the same one as on the card beelow......but is done white on white.    In place of the sentiment on this card, I die cut the word 'Celebrate' three times and glued each on top of the others to make it stand out even though it again is white one white.  Hopefully that helps you to 'see' the card better through your imagination....lol.....

C4C Readies for the Holiday

Here is the Crazy4Challenges goal for this week......

Karen Aicken here as hostess for our November 2017 challenges.  I'm so happy that Kelly Booth was able to join us as our Guest Designer this month -- you can find here blog HERE.

For my last challenge, this is what I came up with.  “Christmas or Winter Card” - It’s only 1 month until Christmas, so make a Christmas or Winter themed card today to get a jump on your stash. (If you don't celebrate the major winter holidays, remember you can make a project with a winter theme too.)

I went CAS this week....using a retired SU set and keeping it to black and white.

Oooops.....Day and a Half Late for CCEE

II had my CCEE Stampers Challenge card done a long time ago, but forgot to post it here on my blog.  Sorry about that!!!  Here is the challenge for the week....

This week we are going to make a card for our holiday stash.  You can make a Christmas card, a New Year’s card, or a winter card…..whichever you think you need the most for your stash.

I went with a CAS Holiday card.  Had trouble with the photo, but in real life it is an even glow to the embossing.

If you haven't already stopped into the CCEE Blog,, please do so to see the creations of the rest of the team who put up with me onthis DT.

Happy Birthday to ME!!! (And a CCEE challenge)

Well.....Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!  In honor of my special day, this week's CCEE Stampers' challenge is to make a feminine birthday card with flowers.  To celebrate the day with me, let's do a random act of kindness.  Call a friend who might need cheer, pay for someone's coffee, give a hug, .....try to make a difference.

I used a stamp set with multiple layers of color (forget which company).  My main panel was cut with a JustRite die.  This is really a very CAS card.

Be sure to stop in at the CCEE Blog to see the fab feminine b'day cards made by my dear friends on this DT.

Crazy for Veterans/Remembrance Day

Karen Aiken  is the hostess for the Crazy4Challenges DT this week.  Here is here challenge....

“Lest We Forget” In Canada and Australia today is Remembrance Day. From Wikipedia:Remembrance Day (sometimes known informally as Poppy Day) is a

memorial day observed in Commonwealth of Nations member states since the end

of the First World War to remember the members of their armed forces who have

died in the line of duty. Following a tradition inaugurated by King George V in 1919, the day is also marked by war remembrances in many non Commonwealth

countries. Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November in most countries to

recall the end of hostilities of World War I on that date in 1918. Hostilities formally

ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month", in accordance with

the armistice signed by representatives of Germany and the Entente between 5:12 and 5:20 that morning. Include Poppies on your card today, or make a card of gratitude and/or respect.

I must apologize as I can't right now remember the company who made this stamp.  I just love the poppies and the script that are part of its design.  The stamp did have an aged look to the edges which I made a bit more dramatic with sponging and an added black matting.

The CCEEers Get Masculine

Hi...Joanne here with the CCEE Stampers weekly challenge.....and here it is.....


I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I never seem to have enough masculine birthday cards.  This week is for the guys……make a masculine card of any type….does not have to be a birthday card.

 I used the birthday die from Memory Box and added a beer from an MFT stamp set.  Easy peasie....

Be sure to stop in to see the fab masculine creations by the rest of this fabulousl DT of friends at the CCEE Blog.

The Crazies Layer It Up

A new month, a new hostess, a new challenge for the Crazy4Challenges DT.....and here it is......

Welcome to another Saturday, a new month with a new hostess (me!) and a new Guest Designer. Karen Aicken here, and I'm happy to share that the amazing Kelly Booth is going to be with us all month as our Guest Designer. You can find her blog HERE.

Since making One Layer Cards freak me out, I went to the opposite end of the spectrum with my challenge this week "LAYER IT UP. Go ahead and pile on the layers for your project this week."

II actually used a version of a sketch we used early this year.  The image is from Magenta.  I uused a die to cut the main panel, added a side panel with brads.  I have to say it felt good to make a black and white card again.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog to see the fab layered beauties by the rest of the team. 

CCEEers Give Thanks

Hello.....welcome to the CCEE Stampers Challenge.  I, Joanne, am starting my duties as the hostess for the month of November.  Here is my challenge for the DT and YOU, if you want to play along with us.

This month I am going to keep it simple.  The holidays are coming, and times will be busy.  This will be a month of celebrations.  This week I would like you to make a Thanksgiving card OR a card of thanks.

I used a Penny Black stamp and my Misti to create this card using TH distress markers after masking the main panel and sponging in the background.  A true one layer card.......love it when I manage to do that.....
