Nov. 25. Pop Up Card by Lois
Nov. 27 - A Fun Fold by Sandy

I'm continuing my fictional little story of Susie again during this month's blog hop.  She is all grown up and graduating from Florida State University.  Let's celebrate her achievement!


As you can see, the color scheme of my card is the FSU Garnet and Gold.  The MFP Stamp Shop set that I used for this card is the Here Comes the Grad mini set.

CCEE1547 - Universal Children's Day

Frances continues as hostess for the CCEE Stampers blog again this week.  She told us that tomorrow is Universal Children's Day and asked us to create a card featuring a child having fun of some type.  This challenge really was a challenge for me.  I have very limited children's stamps, but I finally found something that my kids did with their dad when they were young . . . fished.


I used the Elizabeth Craft Designs Lucy Label pop-up card die for the inside of my card.



I'm sure the rest of the team had more choices of children's images, so pop on over to the CCEE Stampers blog to take a look.

CCEE1546 - Sesame Street Day

Frances continues as hostess for the CCEE Stampers Blog this week, and she told us that November 10th Sesame Street celebrated 46 years since the show started.  She asked us to create a card that is inspired by the show.  We could feature any of the characters from the show, something related to a character, e. g. garbage bin (Oscar the Grouch), yellow (Big Bird), or cookies (Cookie Monster).  Another option would be to feature a letter of the alphabet, etc.  I decided to look for some coloring book pages on-line and found a whole bunch of Sesame Street-related pages available.  I've always liked Elmo, so that's the direction in which I went for my card.


Check out the CCEE Stampers blog for more of Sesame Street.  "Sunny day, sweeping the clouds away . . . . "

CCEE1545 - Look for Circles Day

Frances is our CCEE Stampers hostess for the month of November, and she tells us that November 2nd was Look for Circles Day.  We were to create a card featuring circles -- how many can we include on our card?  I'm not sure how many circles are on this card, and to tell the truth I don't think I want to try to count them.  When I saw the word "circles" in the challenge description, the words "bokeh technique" screamed in my ear.  I had to make a baby shower card for a friend of my daughter's, who is having a little girl.  My daughter showed me a photo of the baby's room and it was sort of pinky-peach and aqua.  So I decided to make that card for my CCEE card today.



Check out the CCEE Stampers blog and see how many circles are on there today.

OCT. 27GIFT CARD HOLDER by Vickie
OCT. 29- Baby Garland by Sandy

Let's get started !!

It's Friday already, last day of the blog hop.  Susie is growing up; she's about 12 years old and has discovered that she likes horses.  Today's card is a double gatefold card.  From the front it looks like a standard gatefold card.


But when you open it up, you can see the extra panels.


I used two different stamp sets on today's card:  News from the Woods and Cowgirls Rule.

Let's get started !!

Susie is starting school today.  I thought this card could be tucked into her lunch box for some friendly support on her first day.  I used another Sizzix die to make the base of my card.


The stamp set I used on today's card is Lesson Learned.

CCEE1544 - Something Down Under

Maryann had an extra week as hostess for the CCEE Stampers blog this month.  She asked the team members to create a card with something down under.  It could be under the sea or a tree or underground, under an umbrella, or even (to honor her country) from down under in the world.  I chose under the sea so that I could use a new stamp I recently purchased -- the Zentangled seahorse.


Check out the CCEE Stampers blog to see which "under" the rest of the team members chose.
