Supply Challenge - Our Daily Bread

Hi Stampers .... another Monday so that means another of our CCEE challenges. This week our challenge is a supply challenge.

One of the challenges we do on a regular basis is the supply challenge. All of us in the group are sent the same supplies and we create our card/project around those supplies as per the instructions of the challenge hostess.

This month our supply challenge is brought to us by Our Daily Bread Designs. Kelley of Our Daily Bread sent all of the CCEE Stampers the 'Peace on Earth" stamp set. Thank you so much Kelley for this wonderful set ... I know we all enjoyed playing with the stamps in this set.

So now it is your turn to play. Some of you may already have this set and if you do we would love for you to use it and play along. Or if you don't have this particular set you might have another set by Our Daily Bread that you could use instead. No stamps .... well then show us your version of Peace on Earth. Whichever you decide .... don't forget to come back here and leave a comment on this post linking to your card so that we can check it out ... we love seeing your wonderful creations. If you post to a gallery like SCS, please use the keyword CCEEC.

So now it is time to see what everyone came up with this week!

It's All About Blue!

Hi everyone. Can you believe it is December already .... boy the year has flown past so quickly!

As you know Mondays mean challenge time here on the CCEE Stampers blog. Originally we all agreed that we wouldn't be doing challenges in December as it can be a busy month for many with preparations for Christmas, visiting families etc .... but a couple of us challenge aholics (and there are a few of us) changed our mind so Cindy Haffner came up with a few easy challenges for the first 3 weeks. Hope you will have some time to play along too.

Our first challenge this month is to make a card using any shade of blue and we also had to include some brads.

Now that is easy enough right .... oh and just in case ... yes you can use other colors as long as there is blue in your card and also the required brads. Want to play along???? Don't forget to come back here and post a link to your card in the comments section of this blog post. If you are uploading your card to SCS please use the keyword CCEEC.

Let's see what the team came up with this week.

A Supply Challenge!

Hi everyone .... today's CCEE Stampers challenge is a supply one. Charlene who is the challenge hostess for this month sent each of us the following supplies:

• Red Starburst Translucent paper


• Three different poinsettias: dark red; red with yellow cream centre; sheer red.


• Gold stretch cord & gold ribbon


• Red ornament embellishment


• Three snowflakes: white; red & gold

Charlene instructed us to:

• create a Christmas card.


• use some portion of the red designer paper.


• use at least one for the poinsettias


• use either the gold cord or ribbon


• the red ornament and snowflakes were optional.
  

Now I know you guys won't have exactly the same supplies as we received from Charlene ... but I know we would love for you to still play along .... so how about you make a Christmas card too .. that uses some or all of the requirements above ... do you have red paper or card??? gold cord or ribbon. If you decide to play along don't forget to come back here and leave us a link to your card in the comments section of this post. If you upload your card to SCS please include the keyword CCEEC.

Here is what we all came up with:

CNFS - Eggette!

Good morning everyone .... hope you all have an enjoyable weekend! Are you ready for another CCEE challenge.

Our challenge today is our Creative Name Featured Stamper (CNFS) ... for this challenge one person in our group selects a person from SCS who has a catchy user name ... we then create our card using their name for the theme for our card.

Charlene is the challenge hostess for this month and the name she selected for us to use was "Eggette". Apparently Bonnie gathers chicken eggs from over 12000 chickens on their farm. Her favorite embellishment is ribbons and she loves the color green.

Our instructions for this challenge was that our card had to have an egg on it somewhere .... we also had to use some shade of green & ribbon on our card.

Would you like to play our challenge ... we would love to see what you create using this theme! Don't forget to come back here and post a comment with a link to your card. If you upload to SCS don't please use the keyword CCEEC.

Coastin’ Along

Good morning everyone .... hope you enjoyed your weekend. It is challenge time again over here at CCEE Stampers.

This week Charlene instructed us to use a restaurant coaster on our project along with some mesh or mulberry paper (the mesh & mulberry paper are both products that Charlene mentioned she hadn't seen used much lately). Many of us only had coasters that were blank so that is what some of us ended up using.

Would you like to play along this week too .... I know we would all love to see what you could come up with for this challenge ... whether you use decorated coasters or blank ones it doesn't matter. Don't forget that once you have completed your project to come back here and post a comment to this blog post so that we can see your creation. If you upload to the gallery of SCS don't forget to use the keyword CCEEC.

Ok let's see what everyone came up with:

Doesn't my bg look like mesh? The mulberry paper got stuck behind the text message too. Sorry Charlene. Man, that's two weeks in a row that I've messed up. I'll get it right next week...promise!!

A Sketchy Challenge!

Wow can you believe that we are in November already!!!!! Where does the year go ... the older we get the faster the year seems to disappear!!!!

As it is Monday it is time for another of our CCEE challenges .... as we are in a new month it means we have a new challenge hostess. This month it is Charlene Merrick's turn to issue the challenge and she has come up with some fun ones as you will see as the month progresses.

The first challenge Charlene issued is a sketch challenge. Charlene instructed us to use one of her favorite sketch designs from SCS, which was SC75 ... from way back in 2006. However as expected there was a twist ... we had to change the square shape at the bottom of the card to another shape. We also had to include eyelets somewhere on our cards.

We would love for you all to play along with this challenge .... To save you all searching SCS for the sketch I have included it here for you ... adding the extra "twist" requirements. Don't forget to come back here and include a link to your card in the comments section of this post. If you are uploading your card to SCS please include the following keywords: CCEEC & SC75.

Here are the cards the CCEE Stampers team came up with this week:
