Heart Challenge - 4th February

Can you believe it is February already? Time sure does fly by fast. Charlene Merrick is our CCEE challenge hostess for the month of February, and we believe you're going to *love* the theme she's picked for our challenges this month.

For this first week, Charlene challenged us to make a card/project using hearts and a charm. Must be she's got Valentine's Day on her mind, huh?

If you would like to play along all you have to do is create a card using the above challenge and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1005. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Mr Linky so that everyone else can see your card too.

And here are the CCEE team members creations:

Sketch Challenge - 7th January

Good morning everyone and welcome back to our CCEE Stampers blog. It has been a while (2 months to be exact), but after much needed R & R the CCEE Stampers are ready and raring to go!!!!!!!

Before we get to this week's challenge, there are a few changes we need to fill you in on about. First up sadly we bade farewell to four of our original CCEE Stampers, Cindy Motherway, Dawn Lusk, Carolyn King and Debra Mills. You can find links to their blogs in our CCEE Stampers Alumni listing on our side bar.

We are excited to welcome to our team two special CCEE Stamper friends Joanne Grzelak and Shirley Quarry. Please give them a big welcome!

And one more important change ...... we have changed our day! From now on we will be posting our challenge on Thursday rather than Monday, as Monday could get very hectic for some of our design team members.

To start off the year, Cindy Haffner is hosting the challenges for January. Cindy loves sketch challenges so to start the year with a bang, Cindy has challenged us to a sketch month .... a whole month of sketch challenges .... wow! So without anymore delay take a look at the sketch Cindy has given us for our first week, I hope you will find time to play along with us.

Altered Lunch Tin!

Hi everyone,

It's Monday which means it is time for another challenge with the CCEE Stampers! And this week it is a supply challenge.

Tosh our challenge hostess for October sent each of us a cute little mini lunchbox, with the instructions to decorate and fill it!

So are you going to play along this week??? This week you need to alter something .... anything you like! Once you have created your card/project come back here and link to your card/project to this post using Mr Linky so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CCEEC. We can't wait to see what you create!

Before we get to our projects we created, I wanted to let you all know something. As you all know the holiday season is fast approaching and this can be a very busy time for many of us. With this in mind the CCEE Stampers have decided that this is a good time for us all to take a break from our weekly challenges for a couple of months. Don't worry we will be back ready and raring to go come the beginning of January!!!!!!!!!!! Hope to see you all back here then. Thank you so much for all the support you have given us during the past 10 months, and I hope you enjoy the holidays whichever ones you celebrate :)

OK now it is time to check out what the CCEE Stampers created this week.

CNFS - Sparkle Girl!

Good morning everyone and welcome back to our CCEE Stampers blog for another of our Monday challenges!

This week Tosh our challenge hostess of the month has another fun challenge for us all. As most of you know each month for one of our challenges we have our CNFS challenge (Catchy Name Featured Stamper), this is where the hostess for the month picks someone over on SCS who has a catchy user name. We then have to create our card around that name and any instructions that the hostess has given us for that particular challenge.

This month Tosh has selected Sparklegirl aka Silke Ledlow. Her instructions wereto make a Square card, and include a girl, some sparkle, and true to Silke’s style, a lot of white space. There’s a twist too. Since her name has the word Silk in it, you must use the Faux Silk technique found on here on Splitcoast Stampers. As you can see we are still on our "Shape Up" theme having to create a square card!

So are you going to play along this week??? All you need to do is to create a card following the challenge above. Once you have created your card/project come back here and link to your card/project to this post using Mr Linky so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CCEEC. We can't wait to see what you create!

This week we have two blog posts for you, so when you have finished reading this one scroll down so you can see what we are up to in the other post.

OK now it is time to check out what the CCEE Stampers created this week.

If you would like to play along too you are more then welcome. I am sure Cindy would agree that there can never be enough teapots or polka dots around the place LOL. Once you have created your card/project come back here and link to your card/project to this post using Mr Linky so that we can see what you created.
