Crazy for Opposites

Frances continues as our January hostess.  Here is her challenge for the

 Crazy4Challenges DT this week.

Hi Crazy Friends,

It's Frances here again with my last challenge for the month. Before we get onto this week's challenge I would like to thank Elena Anderson for playing along with us this month as our Guest Designer. 

Did you know that the 25th January is Opposite Day … For our challenge this week make a card/project that has opposites on it. Think opposite colors, on the color wheel, stripes and polka dots, black and white, mirror image, etc.

I went with black and white as well as stripes and dots.  The image is by Our Daily Bread Designs.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog to see the fab 'opposite' creations. 

CCEEers Share Their Fav Techniques

Liz has given the CCEE Stampers a fun and easy challenge to end January. The challenge is to show us your favorite technique in cardmaking. Maybe it is embossing, fancy folds, paper piecing, multilayered stamping, paper piercing, collage, etc. We will enjoy seeing what you have to offer in fun techniques.

Well....I made a CAS card highlighting one of my favorite techniques.....paper piercing.   

The image I used was out of its packaging, but I believe it is by Penny Black.  I masked the iimage area, sponged on the background and then stamped the image.  I then added the sentiment by MFT and the paper piercing.

Can't wait to see what fav techniques the rest of this talented team have used this week....check them out at the CCEE Blog.

Sketch Week with the Crazies

It is the third challenge for the Crazy4Challenges DT, so we are playing with a sketch.

As you can see, I reversed the sketch and skipped one of the circles at the corner.  The only stamping involved on this card is the sentiment which is a stamp by JustRite Stamps.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog so you can see the varied results with the DT playing with the same sketch....always fun to see the creative results.

CCEEers Keep Warm in the Winter

Time for another CCEE Stampers Challenge.  Liz is the hostess for this challenge this week to use an image showing some kind of winter garment.

I used an older La La Land stamp which was still a 'virgin'.  The sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  I used a snowflake embossing folder for the basic layer and used another 'remnant' of a MS wedding card for the mid=white layer.

Be sure to visit the CCEE Blog to see the other wintery designs by my fav DT.

Everything is Ducky with the Crazies

Hi Crazy Fans, it is time for another weekly challenge from Frances.....and here it is.......

Are you ready for another "Crazy" challenge?????

Apparently today is Rubber Duckie Day … let's celebrate by including a duck or two on our cards this week. Don't have anything duck related what about chickens, geese, turkeys etc.

I used an older set from Verve fo this challenge.  If you can't read the sentiment, it says......

Hope Everything's Ducky.  The die I used is from MFT.

Be sure to see the 'foowl' creations at the Crazies Blog.  You'll be glad you did!!!

The CCEEers Have a Tea Party

 

....It is time for another CCEE Stampers Challenge.  Here is the challenge for the week.....

Hi, Liz is hosting again this week. In honor of "Hot Tea Month",  use a teapot or teacup on your card or use a "tea stain" technique if you like.  Here's a link to how to tea stain your paper  if you so choose to use.

I used a set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps.  The lascy effect is actually from some MS wedding cards I trimmed.  I used a Marvy corner rounder onn the lower corners.

Be sure to check out the TEA-rrific creations by this fabulous team I am so proud to be a part of.....so kind, talented , and fun......you'll find their creations on the CCEE Blog.

The Crazies Tag into 2018

Happy New Year!!!

 

Welcome to another year of Crazy4Challenges!!!

Here is the first challenge for the Crazies for 2018....from our hostess, Frances. 

Happy New Year "Crazy" Fans

Welcome back to another fun-filled Crazy 4 Challenges with the "Crazies" 

Our Guest Designer for January is Elena Anderson, I am sure you will enjoy seeing her creations this month.

For our January challenges, we have Frances Byrne hosting. 

Tag You're It! - For our first challenge for the year incorporate a tag or  tags some way in your creation.

I am cheating a bit this week.  This was the card I made for December's challenge to 'color it', but I forgot to post it.  However, it fits for this week as the tea bag has a tag.  I don't remember the company that made the image and sentiment, but can look it up for you if you want to know.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog to see the tagged creations of the rest of this fabulous DT. 

 

CCEEers Welcome 2018

Happy New Year

Happy New CCEE Challenge

The CCEE Stampers Challenge begins another year of creativity with our new January hostess, Liz Williams....here is her challenge for the week.....

Hi, this is Liz bringing us our first challenge of 2018.

I don't know about you, but I can hardly believe it is already 2018!!!

So the title of this challenge is "Waddle we do in 2018?"   So  the challenge is to use a penguin or you may use any other animal that loves cold weather. 

It's time to make resolutions or do some new things. If you have never played along with our challenges here on CCEEstampers, I invite you to come and join us.

I used a stamp and die set from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps for the image and sentiiment.  In addition I used the shadowing circle stamp from Altenew.  I cut the main panel with a die from Lawn Fawn.

Be sure to  stop in to the CCEE Blog to see the fab creations by this fabulously wonderful DT.
