After being MIA for a bit, I am back to share my entry for this week's <a href="https://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/">Crazy4Challenges</a> cards.....here is our hostess with the week's challenge.....<br />
<b><br /></b>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b>Hi everyone,</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Raquel with you again this week with another challenge.</b></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>September
is my son's birthday month, so I challenged the Crazy 4 Challenges team
to make a birthday card and put numbers on it. Let's see what the
design team came up with</b><br />
I used a bold sentiment from MFT on a panel cut with a Cottage Cutz die. I used assorted designer papers aloong with some skeleton leaves dies. I added a few brads, and.....voila.....a masculine card was born.<br />
<br />
Be sure to to visit the <a href="https://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/">Crazies Blog</a> to see how the rest of the DT used numbers on their creations.<br />

IIt is time for another month of challenges for the<a href="https://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/"> Crazy4Challenges</a> DT.. Here iis this week's challenge from Raquel........<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">Hello my crazies, it's Raquel Mason here for the month of September. I would like to introduce the very talented <a href="http://fransabad.com/" target="_blank">Fran Sabad </a>as<span style="background-color: white;"> guest designer</span><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;">.</span></span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: #eeeeee;"><br /></span></span></b>
<b><span style="font-size: medium;">For
today's challenge, we're making cards using any technique! The
technique can be something you've never tried before, something you've
tried many times, or even a technique that you're inspired to try.</span></b><br />
<br />
I went with some simple techniques that I use often. I used masking, stenciling, sponging, and paper piercing.....all to creat a true one layer card The flower is a stamp by Penny Black. The sentiment is from either MFT or Sweet 'n Sassy.<br />
<br />
Be sure to check out the <a href="https://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/">Crazies Blog</a> to see the techniques used by the DT.jojothttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06331590470318446072noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2632994464483967053.post-67058379669461363942018-08-30T00:00:00.000-04:002018-08-30T00:00:07.631-04:00CCEEers Play with Flowers<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

This is the last challenge for August, and Frances has a great challenge for the<a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/"> CCEE Stampers </a>Challenge team. Here it is.......<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's Frances here once again to bring you the last challenge for August.</span></b></div>
<br />
<b style="caret-color: rgb(48, 48, 48); color: #303030; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; text-align: center;">In
my part of the world (Australia), Saturday is the first day of Spring
.... Flowers are beautiful at any time of the year so for our challenge
this week we are to add some flowers to our card.</b><br />
<br />
Unfortunately we have had the need for sympathy cards so my stash is nonexistent at the moment, so this CAS one will be the beginning of a new stash of sympathy cards. I used a background stamp by Penny Black and a sentiment stamp from MFT.<br />

<br />
<b style="caret-color: rgb(48, 48, 48); color: #303030; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Today
(23rd August) is Ride the Wind Day, this day was created to celebrate
the anniversary of the first man powered flight. There are so many
things that rely on wind for them to work, so let's include something
that needs wind on our cards today. Some examples include kite
flying, windsurfing, Hang Gliding; Sailing Boats, Birds Flying, Hot Air
Balloons, Balloons, Paper Planes etc.</b><br />
<br />
I did not have much stamping time, so I didn't do any....lol.....instead I made a CAS card using a die from Tutti Designs. Not much else to say......<br />

<br />
I used an unmounted stamp for this card. I apologize that I did not write the company name on the back so I could share the maker of the stamp. If someone knows, share that info with me please. I sponged the background, used my Misti to stamp the image in deep black, then added a thin frame of black cardstock. I then covered the front of the base card with black and white dp for a tropical look.<br />

Well.....it is time for another <a href="https://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/">Crazy4Challenges</a> challenge. Anja is our hostess for the month and here is her challenge for this week.....<br />
<br />
<b>Welcome all to a new month of challenges here at the CRAZIES! It is
my turn to be your hostess and I hope you will like what I came up with!
A special welcome to my very talented and fun friend, <span style="background-color: cyan;">Connie VanLoosen</span>, Connie has no blog but let me tell you she is the Queen of stamping.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>Apparently
August 1st is National Mountain Climbing Day.....I don't climb real
mountains, but do think that they are beautiful and I love looking at
them. So for this first challenge of the month, I am asking you to put
some mountains on your card/project.</b><br />
<b>Happy Crafting!</b><br />
<br />
Well, I discovered I have a 'hole' in my collection......no mountains. So....most of this card is just sponged. I did use a cloud template and a Stampscapes single tree stamp.<br />
<br />

Frances is our hostess for the month of August for the <a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/">CCEE Stampers Challenges</a>....here is her challenge for this week.....<br />
<br />
<b>Hi Crafty Friends,</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>It's Frances Byrne here and I am your challenge hostess for the month of August.</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><span style="color: #303030; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Apparently
today (2nd August) is Coloring Book Day. Coloring books are popular for
both young and old. For our challenge today use an image on your card
that needs to be colored ... bonus points for those who have coloring
books and uses an image from one of those for your card today.</span></b><br />
<br />
I kept mine pretty simple. I used a stamp set by Stampendous along with the matching dies. I colored with Copics and added some rhinestones to the 'centers' of the blossoms. I added paper piercing around the edges of the base and rounded the corners. The sentiment is from Words to the Rescue.<br />
<br />
Be sure to stop at the <a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/">CCEE Blog</a> to see (and admire) the colored creations by this fabulous DT.<br />

Here is the <a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/">CCEE Weekly Stampers Challenge</a> from our hostess, Lynn....<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Here it is the last Thursday of July, and the calendar says it is National Refreshment Day!</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<br />
<b><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">One
way to beat the heat of summer is
with a cold refreshment. Do you cool down with a glass of lemonade, a
rainbow
snowcone, an ice cream cone, a cold bottle of beer, or something else?
Whatever it may be, share with the CCEE Stampers your favorite
cool-down treat in your design this week.</span></span></b><br />
I intended to do a popsicle ir uce cream card, but a multitude of phone calls interupted my time in the stamp cave so I had to go more simply.......so......I used this old set of watermelons from Flourishes. /the sentiment is also from the same set. I embossed the vertical panel with a swirl embossing folder, added paper piercing around the edge of the base, and used a Cottage Cutz die to cut my image panel.<br />
<br />
Be sure to stop in at the <a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/">CCEE Blog</a> to see the cool refreshments portrayed by the rest of the team. Here in CT we need some cooling refreshments....the humidity is so thick that you have to make a tunnel through it as you go outside.....(not really, but it feels that way....lol)<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I kep it pretty simple. I stamped the branches from Altenew in two different green of the main panel and then added a sentiment from MFT. I used a Spellbinder set to diei cut my layers. I added dry embossong to the base card to give some texture to the design.</div>

It is time for another <b><a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/">CCEE Stampers Challenge</a></b>. Lynn, our hostess, has a great challenge for us. Here it is.....<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Hello to all our CCEE followers! Lynn here to share with you this week's challenge.</span></b><br />
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<b><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Back
in the day when I was a young mother, one of the first trips I planned
during the summer break from school was a day at the zoo for my son and
his cousins. We all loved watching the crazy antics of the animals. This
week in honor of zookeepers' week, I am challenging you all to include
at least one </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">(more if you want) </span><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">zoo animal on your card.</span></b><br />
<br />
I used a curcus set from MFT for my animals and a sentiment also from another MFT set. <br />
<br />
I had originally intended this to be a one layer card so I masked and created the horizontal layer with sponging, but then I 'dirtied' the cardstock and had to forget the truly CAS version. Oh well....that is all a part of the creative process.<br />
<br />
Be sure to visit the ZOO at the <a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/"><b>CCEE Blog</b></a>.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Welcome
back to the Crazy 4 Challenge blog! Rebecca Ednie here again and I'd
like to say 'Thanks!' to everyone who played along last week! So many
great takes on 'windows'.</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>This week, the team and I are making <span style="color: #134f5c; font-size: large;">SHAPED CARDS</span>.
Any shape other than a plain circle, rectangle or square. So many fun
options! Really any shape can become a card. Just cut the shape and add a
rectangle or circle (or whatever) shaped card base behind it! If it
doesn't fit perfectly, just trim the card base to match!</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Don't forget about my giveaway for anyone participating this month! Read more about it <a href="http://eclecticendeavours.blogspot.com/2018/07/hola-pinata-celebration-spinner-card.html" target="_blank">HERE</a></b>.</div>
<br />
Mine is a simple design with the emphasis on the shape. Did lots of die cutting, but very little stamping.<br />

<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Hi,
friends. Lynn McAuley here! I will be hosting the CCEE Challenges for
the month of July and hope that you will want to join in on the fun.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Suddenly
I am seeing the Impossible Card popping up everywhere I turn. This new
fun fold is based on a famous card trick so it isn't really all that
new! I thought it would be great if the CCEE Stampers put their own
"twist" on this design with their creations this week.</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><b>Here is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Mf9Eq1PBxg">a link to a tutorial by Maymay Made It Crafts</a> that will show you what it is all about! It demonstrates the
Impossible Card in several varied sizes.</b></span></span><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">First thng I must do is to apologize for my lousy photo.....I had a very hard time getting a pic of this card. I finally had to lighten it, takiing away the richness of the actual colors....OH WELL....</span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">I actually found this style of 'fancy fold' very easy and loved adding the rounded corners. I used an Altenw set for the rose and a die for the skeleton leaves. The sentiment is from an MFT set. I added a touch of paper piercing on the sentiment panel.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "trebuchet ms" , sans-serif;">Be sure to sstop at the <a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/">CCEE Blog</a> to see the fab cards created with the impossible card technique.<b><br /></b></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Well, this is my last challenge as June hostess of the CCEE Stampers Challenge. That month sure did fly by.</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;">This week’s ‘theme’ is RELAXATION.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Create a card that depicts RELAXATION to you.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can be a place where you are relaxed or what
you do to relax.</span></span></b></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">
<div style="text-align: center;">

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif; line-height: 115%;"> <b>Can't wait to 'see' where or how you relax.</b></span></span></div>
<br />
As most people know, the ocean (or other body of water( is where I relax. I will be retirning from my annual trip to the Maine coast later today.....and I am sure I will have done lots of ocean gazing.<br />
<br />
I used a new virgin stamp from ODBD and a sentiment by Impression Obsession (I think)/ I also added some texture with a bkgd die from Lil' Inker. I used an MFT template to create my clouds.<br />
<br />
Can't wait to see how you all relax.

I used a new virgin stamp by Paper Rose for my ocean scene. I colored with copics and added double rows of piercing on the top and bottom. I am pretty sure my sentiment is by Impression Obsession.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Welcome to another Crazy 4 Challenge challenge. </span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This
week our challenge is ..... Masculine Cards – Father’s Day is coming up
in the Northern Hemisphere, so this week let’s make male cards. It does
not have to be a Father’s Day card.</span></b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I used my last masculine sympathy card recently so I thought I would use this challenge to rstart replenishing my stash. I used a stamp from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps along with a sentiment from, I think, MFT. I added some paper piercing and fabulous plaid dp.</span></div>

The set is by Spellbinders, and I have had it for at least a year. I used a Lil Inker background die for my base lever and a ODBD die for the sentiment panel. I added some tiny star rhinestones to the upper corner of the sentiment panel to balance the design in my mind.</span></span><br />

Frances is our June hostess for the<a href="https://crazy4challenges.blogspot.com/"><b><span style="font-size: large;"> Crazy4Challenges</span></b></a> DT challenges. here is her weekly challenge....<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Apparently yesterday was "Go Barefoot Day" include something on your card that is barefoot.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> I could not find the stamp I planned to use which would have been so perfect for this challenge. Apparently I filed it in the wrong place. So then Ii had to search for a barefoot image. Well.....that was not so easy, but finally I found this unmounted stamp. The sentiment I used is from MFT.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sorry too for the muddy picture....having some photography issues lately.</span><br />

This is the last weekly challenge for the <b><a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/">CCEE Stampers Challenge</a> </b>for the month of May. Anne, our May hostess, has given up this challenge.......<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b>For my last challenge of the month, use your embossing folder/s on your card today.</b></span><br />
<br />
I used two embossing folders. The first was a frame embossing folder while the second was a floral one. I took my picture from the side in the hopes that you can see the effects of both folders. I added the horizontal sentiment panel with using a stamp from Lown Fawn.<br />
<br />
Be sure to stop in at the <b><a href="https://cceestampers.blogspot.com/">CCEE Blog</a></b> to see the fab work using embossing folders. I am sure they will inspire you to play along with us.<br />
