CNFS - Charmwarm!

Greetings everyone, glad you could all make it back again to see what we are all up to this week. As you might have gathered by looking at the title this week it is time for another "Catchy Name Featured Stamper" challenge. This is where we select a member from SCS who has a 'catchy' user name. We then create our cards using that name as our theme and send all the cards we made to that person.




This week our CNFS is ..............................................................................
Charmwarm! Cammie instructed us to create a card that uses a charm. The catch is---no store bought charms---be creative and make your own.

Of course as usual we would love it if you could play along too .... don't forget when you have completed your card to come back here and link your card in the comments section of this post so that we can see your card. If you upload to SCS please use the keyword CCEEC.

Now let's see what everyone came up with this week.

We would love you all to play along with us too, all you need to do is create a card using the Crayon Resist technique. Don't forget to come back and add a link to your card here in the comments section so we can take a look at your creation. If you are uploading to SCS, please use the keyword CCEEC.

A Supply Challenge

Hello and welcome to our blog .... well it is that time of week again when my CCEE Stamper friends and I get together to do our challenge for the week ... well we can only get together here online as we all live in different countries or states ... wouldn't it be fun if we could really get together to do our challenge ... maybe one day!






This week our challenge is a supply challenge ... this is the challenge we should have done last week ... but seeing our packages didn't reach Australia and Canada in time we swapped the challenges around. For this challenge Tosh sent us all some designer paper and a pack of pearls as you can see below in the picture below ..... we did get more than the piece shown here but as it was all the same I only included the one piece ... although it is double sided ... the other side being plain pink.
For those of you who enjoy playing along with our challenges each week ... maybe you can create a card using some pink designer paper ... and if you have pearls you could also incorporate those in your card. Don't forget to come back here and leave a message so we can see your creation, and if you upload it to SCS ... the keyword is CCEEC.

Here are the creations by the CCEE Stampers:

Tag it Up!

Greetings all and welcome to a brand new week! A new week means that we have another fun challenge which we would like to share with you all.

Normally at this time of the month we would do a supply challenge ... however due to the fact that some of us didn't receive our supplies in time to create our cards we have swapped things around ... so we are doing one of our what would have been September challenges.

Our September challenges have been put together by Carolyn King .... thanks Cammie! For our first challenge we were instructed to 'Tag it Up!". Create a tag for any occasion....it just has to be a tag. Easy enough!

We would all love to see your tags too ... so if you have time to play please come back here and leave a comment on our blog so we can go check out your tags. If you are uploading to SCS don't forget to add the keyword: CCEEC.

Big Butt Bertie!

Hi we are back again already! Bet you weren't expecting to hear from us again until next Monday .... haha!

Today we have a special challenge as Charlene aka Lilluvsstampin on SCS is undergoing surgery on her hand today and won't be able to stamp for at least 6 weeks. So we all decided that we would make her a special get well card to help cheer her up.

So why the Big Butt Bertie .... well I will explain. When we first started our group and were chatting in the chat room we use we each gave each other nicknames .... Cindy aka Mothermark suggested she be called Gertie for some strange reason to help save confusion as we had two Cindy's which can be confusing. Someone probably either Cindy or Charlene suggested the name Bertie. A little later Charlene who btw loves M & M's .... said something about if she didn't stop eating all these M & M's she would get a big butt ..... so from there the name Big Butt Bertie just stuck .... haha. If the truth is known she probably has one of the smaller butts in our group.

Our challenge today was to create a get well card for Charlene .... it can be a butt card because of her Big Butt Bertie nic name; it can be an M & M card because she likes M & Ms, or it can be any traditional get well soon card.

For this challenge we have a few special guests who have also created cards for our challenge ... you can see their cards underneath the rest of the CCEE teams cards.

Don't forget as usual you can also play along ... if you want to send Charlene a get well card that would be great, or if you just want to make a card using one or more of the suggested themes that is fine too. Don't forget to put the keyword CCEEC if you upload to SCS.

Here are our cards:

I created a little m&m purse for Charlene because I don't believe for one minute that she has a big butt or that she will EVER have one. Of course, I will be sending lots of refills for a speedy recovery! ((Charlene))

Now...this is a big butt...nothing like what you claim to have!!
Wishing you a speedy recovery my friend!!



Cindy Motherway - This is My Story




Charlene, I know there is not alot of M & M's in here. I didn't wanna cover up the butts but accompanying this little acrylic box card will be some of your beloved M & M's in a bag not a box! Good Luck! We are all thinking of you today and sending best wishes!

Hope you are back stamping with us soon Charlene!

CNFS - Stamps'nCoffee

Hi everyone and welcome to a brand new week ... which also means we have a brand new challenge to share with you all. This week is our CNFS or Catchy Name Featured Stamper challenge where we select a member from SCS who has a 'catchy' user name. We then create our cards using that name as our theme and send all the cards we made to that person.

This week our CNFS is ........................... Stamps'nCoffee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So our challenge this week was to create a coffee themed card. If we could find a way to add something stamp related on your card like a image of a rubber stamp or similar that would give us extra bonus points.

Ok in case you don't already know ... it doesn't really matter if we get extra bonus points or not cause none of us win a prize ... it is just something we say sometimes haha!

Now don't forget that we would love you to play along with our challenge too. When you have created your coffee themed cards ... come back here to leave a comment on this post so we can check out your cards. If you are uploading to SCS the keyword to use is: CCEEC.

OK enough chat for now .... let's see what the CCEE team created this week:
