CCEE1313 Oldies But Goodies

The end of March already?  Yeppers.  Charlene here, and I can't believe how quickly my month as the March challenge hostess has flown by.  It's really true that the older you get the faster time flies.  Can you think of how much time has flown by since you've used some of your beloved stamps that you just HAD to have but you haven't used in your creations in a long time? Yes, we all have those oldies, but goodies stamps in our stash....somewhere....if we only dig them out.  I've challenged the design team members to pull out and use an old stamp(s) that they haven't used in a loooong time!  A "long" time can be open to interpretation, but, for the purpose of my challenge today, let's think of stamps we haven't used in at least 6-12 months....longer if you can!

If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1313. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Inlinkz so that everyone else can see it too. 

Let's see what the team have created this week .....

CCEE1312 Color Your World

Color My World....one of my favorite songs from an old singing group (gee, never thought I'd be writing "old" when it came to some of my favorite singing groups)  called Chicago.  Hello, stamping friends....Charlene here, again, as your March CCEE Stampers' hostess.  This week I've put forth a color challenge to the CCEE Stampers and you, too, if you'd like to play along.

Use Pink Pirouette, Rose Red, River Rock, Soft Suede, and Very Vanilla!  Yes, that's a lot of colors, but that's what a challenge is all about!

If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1312. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Inlinkz so that everyone else can see it too.

Let's see how the design team is coloring our world this week:

CCEE1311 Pencils, Please

Class!  Class!  Attention, class.  Hello, my name is Charlene, and I am your instructor today.  Please pick up your pencils....colored pencils, that is.

Hee-hee.  I think one of my favorite things as a child in elementary school was when we got to do creative things like coloring!   This week I've challenged the design team members to set aside their markers, crayons and reinkers, and use only colored pencils in their creations.

If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1311. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Inlinkz so that everyone else can see it too.

CCEE1310 The Eyes Have It

Hello stamping friends and welcome to March!  Charlene here as your March hostess for the CCEE Stampers' challenges.  I've been stamping quite a while now, and I remember way back when....you know, before we had our die cut/embossing machines that we got excited over things like eyelets and brads and all kind of embellishments.  My challenge to you today is to use eyelets in your design.  I don't see people use them much anymore, including myself, and they can be so fun to use!

If you decide to play along with us, all you have to do is create a card/project and upload it to your blog and/or to your SCS Gallery using the keyword CCEE1310. Don't forget to come back here and link it on Inlinkz so that everyone else can see it too.


Now let's see what everyone has come up with this week.......
