The CCEE Goes to the CATS

Frances is our hostess of the  weekly CCEE Stampers Challenge.  Here is her challenge for this week.....

Hi CCEE Fans,

It's Frances here with one last challenge for the month.

Apparently tomorrow (27th) is Black Cat Day and Sunday (29th) Cat Day. So for our challenge this week include a cat on your creations … black or not.

I used this cat image I have had forever and never used.  It sure makes a statement, eh???  I added some paper piercing, embossing on the mid layer, and a die cut sentiment.

be sure to check out the canine creations on the CCEE Blog where you can also find out how to play along with us.

Sketch Week with the Crazies

Bonnie is our hostess for the Crazy4Challenges this week, and she gave us a versatile sketch.

I switched it around just a but and made another card for my holiday stash using a Sweet 'n Sassy set.  The plaid paper is from Joanna Sheen,

CCEEers Play with Acetate

Frances is our hostess this month.  Here is her challenge for this week.....

Hi CCEE Fans,

It's challenge time again. Frances here with you again to issue the challenge this week.

Acetate - Create a card that includes acetate on/in it in some way. Shaker Cards; Magic Color Slider Cards; Gap Cards; Acetate Windows etc.

 I used circle dies to create my frame.  I then added a die cut from Tutti.  The aceetate is behind the frame and die.  I then heat embossed the small sentiment with silver embossing powder,

CCEEers Honor Farms and Farmers

It is time for another CCEE Stampers Challenge.  Here is Frances with her weekly challenge for us.....

Hi Crafty Friends,

It's Frances here again today with another fun challenge!

Did you know that today is "Old Farmers Day" - let's show our appreciation to our farmers by creating something farm related today.

I could not find the farm stamp I wanted to use and had little time so I went CAS......every farm has chicks, right?????  I used this set of image and sentiment from Art Impression, added some layers,  colored with Copics, and I was done.

Be sure to viisit the CCEE Blog to see the farm inspired creations of the rest of this fabulous DT.  You will also find out how you can play along with us.

Crazy for Card Making

It is time for another Crazy4Challenges challenge.....here is Bonnie, our hostess, with her challenge for this week.......

Hi everybody --it's Bonnie Sharp here presenting you with the October challenges. This is my first time doing this so I am really excited!

Today is World Cardmaking Day so my challenge to you is so easy....

MAKE A CARD!!....any design, any shape!!

 I decided to play with a new 'toy' this week.  This die is by Little B.  it diecuts the entire panel and embosses the diagonals on the bottom area of the panel.  I decided to make a bold, dramatic card, but I am sure with other colors it would appear more delicate.

Be sure to visit the Crazies Blog to see the cards made for this occasion by the rest of this DT.  You can also play along with us.

CCEEers Go Crazy for Balloons

Hi Crafty Friends,

Welcome to another CCEE Challenge. Being a brand new month it is time to introduce our new challenge hostess which is Frances Byrne.

Apparently today is “Balloons Around the World Day”. So this week let’s add some balloons to our cards.

I used an old Penny Black hedgie stamp for this challenge.  I not only got the challenge done, but I now have my great-niece's Halloween card made.  She is only 2 so I try to keep the spookiness on a low lever......lol!!!!
