CCEE1409, Chocolate

Hi, Vicky here with my last challenge for February!

Today, is my 70th birthday....yep, I'm older than dirt!!!  One of my favorite things (as evidenced by my waist) is chocolate.  Let's see some chocolate on your cards...you can use chocolate images, cocoa, chocolate chip card stock....anything representing chocolate...the more chocolate; the better!

If posting on splitcoaststampers, please add CCEE1409 to your keywords.  Then, please link back to Inlinkz here on the CCEE Stampers blog.  We'd love to see what you come up with!

Have a wonderful day!

CCEE1407, Punch Art

Well, second week in February already!


Now, I am going to challenge you to do some punch art. I don't mean punching out dies, but use your punches to create something...a dog, an elephant...whatever. You can check out the gallery for punch art on splitcoaststampers for some ideas, or you can be entirely creative on your own. Let's see what you come up with!

Now, here's some great samples from our team!

If posting on splitcoaststampers, please use the keyword CCEE1407 and link back to the CCEE blog so we can see your work! Thanks...and have fun!

CCEE1405 ~ U is for Umbrellas

Well - January has 5 Thursdays this year, so I get to set one last challenge before passing the baton on. This week I've chosen the theme of "umbrellas". Over here January is a pretty wet month - and except on the days when it's too windy, an umbrella is an essential accessory. However, if you wish to look forward to the summer and bring a beach umbrella, or take a trip to the Orient and bring an elegant Chinese or Japanese-style umbrella, that's fine too. All that I'm looking for is any sort of umbrella on your card, whatever the weather.
I hope you've enjoyed the challenges this month - there are some great ones lined up for February too.  Thanks for playing along in January.

As always, if you're inspired to create your own umbrella card after seeing what fab cards the team have made, remember you can share using the InLinkz tool here or with the keyword if you upload to the SCS gallery.

CCEE1404 ~ Bright Flowers


Sabrina here again with a fresh challenge, and this week I have a really easy challenge for you - one that will bring some colour to the short winter days for those of us in the Northern Hemisphere. And wherever we are, bright flowers are always a sight to cheer the heart and lift the soul. All I'm asking from you this week is to add some colour to your cards with bright flowers. As always the team have made some gorgeous cards - don't forget to check them out before you go off and make your own bright flowers!!

And if you are inspired to make a card featuring bright flowers, you can share it with us using the InLinkz tool at the bottom of the page, or by using the keyword if you upload to your SCS gallery.

Until next time...
