CCEE1630 - National Milk Chocolate Day

For her last CCEE Stampers challenge this month, Joanne asked us to help her celebrate National Milk Chocolate Day.  When I read this challenge, in my mind I reversed it to read "Chocolate Milk Day" and remembered something out of my childhood; and I'd love to share it with you today.  I grew up out in the country in a time when we had a milkman who delivered milk to our door.  On Saturdays, my brother and I used to ride with him in his truck and help deliver the milk.  (Like that could happen today!!!)  Anyway, when we were finished the round, he would give us a bottle of chocolate milk for "helping" him.  But . . . I digress!  Back to the Milk Chocolate challenge!

I pulled out an old Stampin' Up set, Sassy Susie, for my card today.


Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for some more chocolate goodness!

Let's get started !!

I used a fun technique that I saw on a U-Tube video for my second card of the hop.  It's called a Step Block card.  By the way, it folds flat for mailing.


Here's the back of the card.

 

I used two different (but related) MFP Stamp Shop sets on this fun card, 1) Background Diamonds and Flowers and 2) Small Flowers.

CCEE1629 - Beach

Most of the CCEE team (with the exception of Frances and Maryann) are in the midst of summer.  So Joanne asked us to create cards that honor beaches in some way.  One of my favorite beach stamps is this one from Our Daily Bread Designs.  I added the flip-flops for my daughter!



Come celebrate the summer with the rest of the CCEE Stampers on our blog.

CCEE1628 National Cow Appreciation Day

Joanne introduced us to an unusual holiday, which is celebrated tomorrow -- National Cow Appreciation Day.  As a long-time lover of milk, I am happy to celebrate this day!  I've changed from whole milk to 1%, but I still love a cold glass of milk.


Check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see how the rest of the team is showing their appreciation for cows!

CCEE1627 - National Ice Cream Month

Joanne is our CCEE hostess for July, and her first challenge is to celebrate the fact that July is National Ice Cream Month.  Who doesn't like ice cream?  No one that I know!  Because I have several birthdays to celebrate in July (my sister, my grandson, and my daughter-in-law), I decided on a birthday card.


Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for some more ice cream treats.
