This is the final CCEE challenge for 2022.
In fact, it has come to the time that the CCEE Stampers team to hang up their ink pads and stamps, so this will be our last challenge.
While I have only been on the design team since June 2014, it was a blog that I liked to follow for inspiration since 2009 when I started my own blog. I, in fact did not even know when the original team, started and that it was previously call Cheers & Challenges Eclectic Ensemble.
I would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your continued support of our challenges every week, and I hope you have found some inspiration in our challenges.
Time is counting down to the end of the year, and I so I am asking that your feature clocks on your card. Think of time clocks, stop watches or even a countdown clock anything to do with time.
I created the background using Distress Oxide inks Kitsch Flamingo and broken china, and distress ink wilted violet. sponging it through a stencil. I then used the wood mounted hero arts tag stamp - H4777 Collage Take Time and heat embossed it. I then added the die cut sentiment and numbers.
Hi Crafting Friends
Today's card is made for the challenge on the CCEE Stampers blog.
Celebrate Manatee Awareness Month
I had this background die for some time, thinking one day I would use it for a shaker card. Things didn't go to plan and I ran out of time, so I have just used several layers to add dimension on the background and glued in some pearls beads, before adding the sentiment and attaching the Manatee.

Create a Scene! For our challenge this week create a card that features a scene of some type… outside or inside.
I have used the Hero Arts 6 x 6 background stamp for my scene. I rather thought that just stamping the scene was way to easy for this challenge so I created a shaker card with an acetate front and glitter for the snowy winter scene.
Hi Crafting Friends,
Today is Challenge day with the CCEE Stampers design team.
May 20th is International Tiara Day, and also the birthday of Queen Victoria. So, get out your crowns, gemstones, and gold to see what you can create that would be fit for a queen. Maybe it might be a card or crown for your favorite little princess in your life, or maybe you love the look of Victorian styled art and decor.
My Daughter recently asked my to make a card for her friends wedding. They have been friends for many years since meeting while working at Disney World. The one request was that it be Disney themed, well I chose Cinderella after all it is a Happy ever after story.
I created my card starting with some designer paper covering the card before adding the Karen Burniston Flip Frame pop up, to animate the castle on the frame. I added the Happily ever after die sentiment in gold card. I then added a place for a hand written sentiment using dies.
Hi Crafting friends,
My card today is made for the CCEE2115 challenge with the CCEE Stampers blog team.
Yesterday was Look up at the sky day, so for our challenge this week include the sky on your card.
I started out, with stamping and heat embossing the star and sentiment from the Hero Arts stamps set Lucky Star. I then created the early evening night sky with a blending of distress oxide inks, seedless preserves, broken china, salty ocean, chipped sapphire. I blended in the hill side with pumice stone and brushed corduroy.
I then cut out the girl and boy image and mounted them with foam tape.
Hi Crafting Friends
Apparently the 21st March is International Day of Forests. For our challenge on CCEE Stampers blog this week, we are including a tree or trees on our creations.
I have been wanting to make this card since I saw the die set from Hero arts. Following a tip from a Jennifer Mcguire tutorial, I used light blue card stock for the card back and blending Chipped Sapphire distress oxide ink. I then splattered pearl white paint to look like snow.
Hi Crafting Friends.
This is my card for the CCEE Stampers Blog Challenge - CCEE2108
Fairytale Madness We all have been huge on fairytales in our childhood (the inner child in us still adores them). Create something featuring your favorite fairytale/ carnival or a circus! The choice is yours.
Welcome to the last challenge for 2020, the CCEE Stampers team is having a short break before recommencing in the new year.
For the CCEE2050 challenge, Hostess Lynn is asking that your cards reflect a seasonal light of hope and promise for a brighter new year. It can be represented by a candle, the lights on a Christmas tree, the star of Bethlehem, or any other light that comes to mind.
Magic and Hope is my inspiration for this card, a guided light thought the forest is what is needed to see us through the rest of the year.
I started with white card and using the Misti stamp press I stamped the background of trees, in one ink and then sponged on another colour and re-stamped it, to add different shades to the trees. I then positioned the Fairy and stamped it in black ink. I created a circle but die cutting it in acetate and sponged in the light. I then used a torn paper stencil and ink to ground the fairy and sponged the edges. The white card was a quite stark background for the trees so using a stencil I added some blue ink to create the illusion of clouds.
