Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a wonderful Easter weekend.

Well now it is time for yet another challenge with all our CCEE stamper friends. This week is our Catchy Name Featured Stamper (CNFS) challenge where we select someone on SCS that has a catchy user name and we make our card around that name. This month it was Cindy Haffner's turn to select someone and she selected "Scrapgirrl". Our instructions were to make a card with a girl made out of scraps.

So would you like to play along too???? It is a pretty easy challenge this week .... I am sure you all have girl stamps you can use and scraps too.

Stamps & Smiles Supply Challenge

Hi Stampers and welcome back to our CCEE Stampers blog. It is the start of a new month, which means we have a new challenge hostess. Our April hostess is Cindy Haffner and she has some fun challenges in store for you all throughout the month.

For our first challenge today Cindy sent all the CCEE Stampers some adorable cupcake & Bunny cupcake images from Stamps & Smiles. She also sent each of us 2 pieces of DCWV designer paper from the Sweet Stack. Cindy instructed us to use 1 or both of the designer papers along with any of the images/sentiments she sent us to create our cards.

So do you want to play along??? Well you may not have any of the Stamps & Smiles stamps yet, but as these are both cupcake stamps ... how about making a card using cupcakes! Of course if you do have these images the CCEE Stampers are using we would love to see your ideas too. Don't forget to come back and post a comment including a link to you card so we can go check it out. If you upload to SCS please include the keyword CCEEC.

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

A Scrapling Challenge!

Happy Monday everyone, I hope you all had a very enjoyable weekend! Thanks to everyone who participated in our CCEE sketch challenge last week, we so loved seeing your creations.

Our challenge this week is another brought to us by Frances Byrne. One of Frances' favorite new things to create are scRaplings so this week's CCEE challenge is to create a scrapling. For those of you who haven't heard of scraplings before you can see a few more on Frances' blog here.

Scraplings are normally 1.25" x 4.25" because they are often made from the off cuts you get when you make a square card (4.25" square) from a piece of card that is 4.25" x 5.5". However you can make your scraplings a little wider depending on what you are working on at the time.

BUT for this challenge they cannot be any wider then 2.5 inches that is for the base of the scrapling ... you can have wider pieces hanging off like I did with my scrapling above, that is up to you .... as long as they are no wider then 2.5 inches.

So now it is your turn to play .... all you need to do is to create a scrapling following the guidelines above and then come back here and leave a comment on this post with a link to your scrapling so that we can see what you created. Don't forget that if you upload your scrapling to SCS to include the keyword CCEEC.

So now it is time to see what the CCEE Stampers came up with this week:

Sorry Hoots, but the challenge was changed. Quite awhile back actually. Didn't you get the memo? Oops...our bad. Sorry you were left out of the loop. Hope you can forgive us!! *grin*


We even have a special guest designer today. Glad you could join us Joanne (JoJot on SCS)



The real challenge was to make an Owl Birthday Card and mail it to Frances since it's her birthday today. Well, not today if you live in the US. But Australia is a bit ahead of us in the time department, so we're starting early.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HOOTS!!!
