CNFS - Flowergal36

Good morning everyone and welcome to our CCEE Stamper blog. Are you ready for another challenge!

This week it is time for our CNFS (Catchy Name Featured Stamper) challenge which is always soooo much fun. For those who don't know already, once a month our challenge hostess for the month selects someone who has a "Catchy" user name over on SCS and we then create our card around that name.

This week, Charlene our challenge hostess selected the user name "Flowergal36" .... as you might have guessed Dawn aka Flowergal36 love flowers hence her user name. Charlene informed us that our challenge requirement in making our card was that it must be made using flowers!

So are you going to play along this week??? All you need to do is to create a card that has flowers somewhere on it. Once you have created your card/project come back here and place a comment with a link to your card/project to this post so that we can see what you created.

This card will be going to Cards for Heroes. I didn't include a sentiment so it's pretty versatile.




Cindy Motherway - This is My Story

This card will be sent to Cards for Heroes. I thought it would be appropriate to be sent to a spouse back home.

Specialty Papers

Happy Monday everyone and welcome to the CCEE Stampers blog. It's time for another fun challenge are you ready to play??

This week our challenge hostess Deb challenged us to make a card using any specialty type of paper. Some possibilities....vellum, acrylic, foil, flocked, metallics...anything beyond the typical cardstock and printed designer papers. (you know, those papers you bought because they were so beautiful and unusual, then put them in a folder and never used...oh wait, that was me). the rest of the materials is up to you, as long as you have some of the specialty paper somewhere on your card.

Sound like a fun challenge!

So are you going to play along this week??? All you have to do is create a card using some type of specialty type paper (vellum, acrylic, foil, flocked, metallics etc).
