A couple of weeks ago I was thrilled to receive an e-mail from Charlene Merrick asking me if I would like to join the Cheers & Challenges Eclectic Ensemble. The CCEE Stampers are an amazingly talented group of stampers and I'm sure you've heard of all of them. I'm really excited to become part of their group and from the few chats I've had with them behind the scenes, they are a funny bunch of chicks! The challenges they come up with are always unique and fun so I hope you'll join us to play!
This week's challenge:
Chinese New Year is celebrated on January 23rd this year and it is the Year of the Dragon…so this week either use a Dragon on your card or find out what animal relates to your birthday year in the Chinese Zodiac and create a card using that animal.
Keyword- CCEE1203
Turns out that I don't own a dragon stamp so I went with my Chinese Zodiac; the tiger....except I don't have a tiger stamp either. *snarf* Cat, tiger...same difference, right? Ahem...
stamps: longfellows
ink: basic black, pumpkin pie
paper: crumb cake, basic black and pumpkin pie CS
accessories: mini clips, 1 1/4" black striped grosgrain ribbon, my awesome sewing machine, dimensionals, corner chomper
So, feel free to join me and the other rubber nerds in the CCEE every Thursday with a new challenge! Head on over to the CCEE Challenge Blog to check out what delights the ladies have come up with. Ske-doosh.
