Crazies Give Thanks

Raquel Mason is the hostess for September with the Crazy4Challenges DT.  Here is her challenge for this week....

It's grandparents day tomorrow, so I've challenged the Crazy 4 Challenges team members to make a card to show someone you love or appreciate them for what they do for you. 

As you can see, I went very CAS for this week.  I just have not had much stamping time.  I added a touch of paper piecing around the base.

CCEEers Keep It Simple

It is Thursday and the day for a new CCEE Stampers Challenge from our hostess, Lynn.....and here it is......

It's Lynn back again to share with you the second July challenge. 


July 12 has been declared National Simplicity Day in honor of Henry David Thoreau who was a devoted advocate of living a life of simplicity. So on this lazy day of summer it's time to simplify. My challenge to you is to create a clean and simple one layer card!
This is truly a clean and simple card.....the kind of card that used to frustrate me, but now makes me smile.

CCEEers Conquer The Impossible Card

Lynn is our hostess for the CCEE Stampers Chalenges for the month of July....here is her challenge for this week.....

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.

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.

Here is a link to a tutorial by Maymay Made It Crafts that will show you what it is all about! It demonstrates the Impossible Card in several varied sizes.


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....

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.

Be sure to sstop at the CCEE Blog to see the fab cards created with the impossible card technique.

Crazies Give Thanks

 It is time for another Crazy4Challenges chalenge.....and here it is.......


 It is National Doctor’s Day - and Bonnie says she has a lot to be thankful for when it comes to Doctors and Nurses. 

For our challenge this week you have two options ....
Either 
create a "Thank You" card of some type, it could be for a Doctor, Nurse, some other person in the medical profession or any one you like
OR
 create a "Get Well Card" that features a doctor, nurse or any medical theme. 

I used a die from Simon Says Stamp and a word die, to create this fairly simple card.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog to see the various thank you cards created by the DT.

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.....

Crazies Are Thankful for Nurses

 

Time for another challenge with the Crazy4Challenges DT.  Here is this week's challenge from Barbara who has retired from the Crazies.

.

Today is National Nurses Day in the US. As a retired nurse, this day is special to me and I am forever grateful to all the wonderful nurses I’ve worked with or who have cared for me in some way. My challenge today is to make a thank you card. You can make it nurse or medical themed if you want but it’s not necessary.

I used a sweet nurse stamp from Penny Black.  I kept it simple and left the sentiment off.  This was supposed to be a thank you card, but I think I will use it more as a get well card.  However, I am sure the Crazies will forgive me as we are a flexible, low drama group.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog to see the fab thank you/medical cards made by the DT and to get details on how you  can play along with us.

The CCEEers Use Their "Old Stuff'

This is goingto be a quick  post as I am 'late to the party'......I thought this was scheduled......before heading to bed, went to be sure it posted.....and.........it was missing.

Here is the challenge....

 n honor of "Old Stuff" Day, make a card or project making use of some of the earliest stamps in your collection, or make use of old supplies in your stash. A fabulous vintage image would also be great for this challenge!

I used a very old SU two -step stamp set.....an early purchase in my stamping 'career'.

Besure to visit the CCEE Blog to get more details and to see the fab creations by the rest of the team.
