A Stinky Supply Challenge!

Good morning everyone. It is Monday which means it is time for another challenge here on CCEE Stampers. This week our challenge was a supply challenge with Tosh supplying the items we needed to create our cards.




Tosh sent each of us the following supplies:







  • Skunk images




  • Floral designer paper




  • Black scallop ribbon




  • Packet sentiment stamps




  • Black Flourish (optional)
Now there is an interesting story behind our challenge this week. Tosh hates monkey images but her friend Laurie taunts her regularly, even to go as far as asking her to hold a sock monkey at CHA so she could take her pictures. THE NERVE!!
Well now is the time for Tosh to get her own back cause Laurie hates skunks as much as Tosh hates monkeys. Laurie's husband even propped a dead one by a cattle gate to surprise her when she had to check on the calves. (yikes!)

So Tosh asked us all to make a skunk card and send it to Laurie .... bwahahahahahahahahaha!

We had to use the skunk image, the designer paper, the black scallop ribbon and one of the sentiments from the packet of sentiment stamps to create our cards.

Ok now it is your turn to play .... so if you have any skunk images .... or even monkeys seeing Tosh doesn't like monkeys *wink* (now I am gonna get in trouble for that one hehe), use them to create your card today. Don't forget to come back here and leave a comment including a link to your card so that we can check it out. If you are uploading your card to SCS don't forget to use the keyword CCEEC.

Now it is time to see what we all created this week .... sorry Laurie but it wasn't our fault *wink*

Just Painting Around!

Good Morning everyone .... Monday means the start of a new week and also a new CCEE Stamper challenge.

This week is our CNFS challenge (Catchy Name Featured Stamper) ... we pick someone who has a catchy user name over on SCS and then we create our card around that stampers name and send off our cards to them.

This week it was Tosh's turn to select the person whose name we were going to use and she selected Michelle aka JustPaintingAround.

Tosh told us that Michelle has a spotlighting style that she loved, so for our card we had to use the spotlighting technique. Michelle really has a very unique style ... you can see her blog here.

Remember you are also welcome to join in the challenge ... you can using any variation of the spotlighting technique you want to create your cards. Don't forget to come back here and leave a link to your card in the comments section of this post so we can check out your creation. If you upload your card to SCS don't forget to use the keyword "CCEEC"

    A Valentine Supply Challenge

    Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a very enjoyable weekend. Of course being Monday means it's time for yet another CCEE challenge!



    This week our challenge was a supply challenge with Cindy Motherway sending us the supplies & instructions for our project.
    Cindy sent us the following:
    • 2 different designer papers (red & pink)
    • 2 different ribbons (red & pink)
    • 1 heart brad
    • 1 heart button
    • 1 sentiment
    • paper bag
    • sheet of red heart stickers
    The instructions that Cindy included with the supplies were:
    • you must use the white bag and the sentiment ... we had to be careful not to mess up, cause Cindy only included the one sentiment!
    • you must use one of the papers. You must fill it with something fun and you must give it to your hubby for Valentines Day.
    • We could use anything else we wanted ... we didn't have to use it all.

    So now it is your turn to play along .... you might not have same supplies as we do .... but you can still make a valentine goodie bag to give to your hubby and if you don't have a hubby to whoever you like! So make your bag and don't forget to come back here to post a link to your bags in the comments section of this post. If you are uploading to SCS, please don't forget the keyword CCEEC.

    Ok now it is time to see what the CCEE Stampers came up with for this week.

    CNFS - Fishlips!



    Happy Monday everyone ... as you all know that means it is challenge time for another CCEE Stamper challenge.

    This week it is time for another "Catchy Name Featured Stamper" challenge (CNFS). This is one of our favorite challenges that we do each month ... basically one of our members picks someone who has a catchy user name on SCS and then we create a card around that name and mail off our card to that person.

    This week it is Cindy Motherway's turn to pick the CNFS and she picked Fishlips! Cindy instructed us that when we created our card it had to have fish/fish lips on it, or fish of some sort, preferably the kind that swim! Easy enough!

    So would you like to play along???? All you have to do is create a card that has a fish or fish lips on it. Come back here and post a comment on this post with a link to your creation so that we can check out your card. If you upload your card to SCS, please remember to add the keywords CCEEC.

    Ok let's check out what the team got up to this week!

    My card has a joke on it which you might not be able to read on the outside and the punch line is on the inside. It goes like this:

    Hey, Fishlips! What sea animal can be adjusted to play music?

    ANSWER: A Tune-A Fish!
