CNFS - Knightrone!

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to visit us here at CCEE Stampers. It is challenge time again and this week it is our "Catchy Name Featured Stamper" challenge (CNFS). Each month we select someone who has a catchy user name over on SCS, we then create our cards around that persons name and send the cards we have made to them.

This month our CNFS person is Knightrone! For this challenge we had to use something that had to do with KNIGHTS not nights!

Would you like to play along??? All you need to do is create a card that is knight related ... remember no nights! Come back here and place a comment with a link to your card to this post so that we can see what you created. If you upload your card to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CCEEC. We can't wait to see what you create!

Let's take a look with 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.

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"
