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, Dawn our challenge hostess selected the user name "Footprints27". Dawn instructed us that our cards had to have footprints on it ... doesn't matter what kind, as long as it's a FOOTPRINT!

So are you going to play along this week??? All you need to do is to create a card that has footprints 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.

Modern Grid!

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

This week begins a new challenge month so that means we have a new challenge hostess which is Dawn Lusk. I am sure she has some wonderful challenges lined up for us. To start our month of Dawn has given us a technique challenge .... most of us enjoy technique challenge! This month's technique is the modern grid technique.

If you haven’t tried this technique before it is pretty easy to do, here's how:

  1. Stamp your image or images randomly over your card

  2. Now take a ruler and black marker and draw lines equally spaced vertically and horizontally. Make sure you stop your line when you get to the stamped image and then start again on the other side of the image.

  3. Add dots or doodles to some of the squares. You can also color in some squares if you desire. You could also add smaller image stamps that suit the theme or words too. You can see what I mean about other images and words by one I did when I first learnt this technique here.
So are you going to play along this week??? All you need to do is to create a card using the modern grid technique . 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. If you upload your card/project to SCS don't forget to include the keyword CCEEC.

OK now it i s time to check out what the CCEE Stampers created this week.
