Modern Grid!

Good morning everyone and welcome to our CCEE Stamper blog. Are you ready for another challenge!

This week begins a new challenge month so that means we have a new challenge hostess which is Dawn Lusk. I am sure she has some wonderful challenges lined up for us. To start our month of Dawn has given us a technique challenge .... most of us enjoy technique challenge! This month's technique is the modern grid technique.

If you haven’t tried this technique before it is pretty easy to do, here's how:

1. Stamp your image or images randomly over your card


2. Now take a ruler and black marker and draw lines equally spaced vertically and horizontally. Make sure you stop your line when you get to the stamped image and then start again on the other side of the image.


3. Add dots or doodles to some of the squares. You can also color in some squares if you desire. You could also add smaller image stamps that suit the theme or words too. You can see what I mean about other images and words by one I did when I first learnt this technique here.

So are you going to play along this week??? All you need to do is to create a card using the modern grid technique . Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to this post so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CCEEC.

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

It's a Little Sticky!

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all enjoyed your weekend.

Of course it is time for another challenge here on CCEE Stampers. It is also the beginning of a new month, which means that we have a new challenge host. This month the challenge host is me ... Frances Byrne.

A few week's ago I had to do a tutorial for MFT Stamps on ways of using their digital papers ... one of the ideas I had was to use the digital papers by printing on those sticky labels ... you can see the part that relates to labels here. Anyway this got me thinking about how we used to use these sticky labels to create our cards.

So this week's challenge is to use the sticky labels to create your card ... you can stamp your main image on the labels and have that as a feature of your card ... stamp your background on the labels and use that .... or print your digital papers onto them and use that ... or combine all three hehe!

Ok so now it is your turn to play in our challenge. Just dig out those sticky labels and create your card. Don't forget to come back here and leave a comment with a link to your card so we can see your creation. If you upload to SCS please remember to include the keyword CCEEC.

Let's see what all the CCEE Stamper team created this week.

That Old Black Magic!

Happy Monday everyone great to see you keep coming back to our blog each week.

I have that old song "That Old Black Magic" running in my head this week.

That old black magic has me in its spell ........ it's ok I ain't gonna sing in here I will leave that to my blog LOL!

But why am I talking about Black Magic ... I played with this technique back in June for one of our other CCEE challenges and it definitely put a spell on me, so when I had to come up with challenges for everyone this month I thought it would be a fun one to do. If you haven't heard of this technique before and would like to try it, check out the black magic tutorial I have put up on my blog.

I hope it weaves its spell on the rest of the CCEE team and maybe some of you too ... it is such a fun technique and really easy to do so why not give it a go.

Don't forget if you do decide to play along then come back here to add a comment to this post so we can all take a look at your card. And if you upload to Splitcoast Stampers, then please use the keyword: CCEEC.

Ok so now it is time to see what the CCEE team all created:

Thumping!

Greetings everyone and thank you for visiting our blog.

Before I get started on our challenge for this week I thought I would reply to a question someone posted in the comments to last weeks post.The question was what does CCEE stand for ... well that is a good question. It stands for Cheers, Challenges Eager Eight. As you know there are 8 members in our group who are all eager to cheer each other on through the challenges we do between us.

Ok now onto our challenge for this week. As we are now in a new month we have a new host for our challenges which is Tosh. One of Tosh's favorite techniques is the "thumping" technique ... and no you don't start punching someone LOL that isn't the technique at all. If you would like to find out more about "Thumping" check out this great tutorial on SCS by Beate Johns here.

Don't forget we would love for you to also come and play in our challenge this week ... so why not check out the tutorial and then post a comment here so we can see your card. If you upload to SCS don't forget to add the keywords "CCEEC".
