I think most of the kids are back in school by now.  So, the CCEE stampers are having a Word Challenge this week -- the word being WORD!  We are to include something on our cards that begin with each letter in WORD.  Here's mine:

And my WORD items are:

(W) - water
(O) - oval, ocean

(D) - dock

Check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see how the rest of the team handled this challenge.

Let's get started !!

 

Here it is the last day of fun at the beach!  My card today is an easel card, but it's a variation on the standard easel card.  I had seen one done like this on Splitcoaststampers some time ago and thought it was amazing.  Mine might not be "amazing," but it was fun to create. 

 

 

The stamped image and sentiment are from the stamp set Island Life.

 

 

 Be sure to check out all the cards created by the Design Team members today.  And comment often for more chances to win a free stamp set.

CCEE1516 - National Librarian Day

Frances advised the CCEE Stampers that today is National Librarian Day and challenged us to use a book as our inspiration.  In addition, today is my day to post a card to the CardMaker Blog, and as fate would have it, my theme was U Inspire Me.  I was to create a card inspired by a piece of art, fashion, home decor, photograph, etc.  So . . . I sort of combined my two tasks for today.  My inspiration for the CardMaker blog was a vase that my mom (who was a talented ceramicist, among other things) had made many years ago and now sits in my dining room.

So, for Frances' challenge, I had to come up with a book about sailing.  Aha!!! Moby Dick is definitely about sailing.

And here is my card:

If you'd like to see how I created this card, check out today's CardMaker Blog.  And if you'd like to play along with the CCEE Stampers, pick out a book and make a card.
