CCEE1539 National Cherries Jubilee Day

Today is the last week of my month-long hosting of the CCEE Stampers Blog.  In honor of National Cherries Jubilee Day, I asked the team to make a card with cherries on it; or, if they didn't have any cherries, they could use any fruit.

I pulled out some old Stampin' Up designer paper and some new Avery Elle stamps to make my card.


Stop over at the CCEE Stampers Blog to see what the rest of the team has for you today.

CCEE1538 Citizenship Day

I'm continuing as hostess for the CCEE Stampers Blog again this week.  As today is Citizenship Day, I asked the team to make a patriotic card or a card indicating their heritage.  My heritage is pretty mixed, but the nationality with the largest proportion is Irish -- and I usually refer to myself as being of Irish descent.  My card for today reflects that.


Be sure to check out the CCEE Stampers Blog to see how the rest of the team handled this challenge.

CCEE1537 - Swap Ideas Day

I'm continuing as the hostess for the CCEE Stampers blog this week.  Today is Swap Ideas Day, so I asked the team to make a card using a technique they've learned and want to share.  I asked that they either describe the details of the technique or link to a tutorial on the web.

The week of August 1 - 8 was Dare to Get Dirty week on Splitcoaststampers.  One of the challenges included a technique that was totally new to me -- Northern Lights.  I searched the web for instructions and came upon this tutorial by Debbie Henderson.  I wanted to try this technique again for today's challenge, so I made this card:


Be sure to check out the new techniques posted by the CCEE stampers this week.  Maybe you'll learn something new.  That's always so much fun!

CCEE1536 - Skyscraper Day

I'm the hostess for the CCEE Stampers blog this month.  In addition to today's being my birthday, it is also the birthday of Louis H. Sullivan (born September 3, 1856), an architect credited with designing the first skyscraper.  Today's challenge is a Word Play challenge.  I asked that the team members include on their cards something that starts with each of the letters in CITY.

Here's my card:


I fulfilled the requirements of the challenge with these things:

C - Christmas, Candle
I  - Inlaid die cuts
T - Twine
Y - Yule log

Be sure to check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see how they handled this Word Play challenge.

September "More Than One Score"

It's September 1, time for another "More Than One Score" challenge over on the Scor-Pal blog.  The theme this month is "Back to School."  I recently learned how to make a Block Card, so I thought that's what I would make for this month's theme.


This was a really fun card to make.  I found the directions here.

Be sure to check out the Scor-Pal Blog to see how the rest of the team is getting ready to go back to school.
