Masculine Anniversary Card - Kitchen Sink Stamps
Today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card is an anniversary card a friend requested that I make for her husband. It features the new KSS Steam Train because Henry retired from a career with the railroads. I am entering it in the Layering Challenge over at Simon Says Stamp this week.
Images for this design came from the following Kitchen Sink Stamps sets:
The words were cut using Cricut Design Space. The designer paper background is French Industrial by Tim Holtz.
Challenges I am entering this card in include:

National Dress Up Your Pet Day - CCEE2102
Lynn McAuley here with the second challenge of 2021 for the CCEE Stampers.
Today is National Dress Up Your Pet Day. In honor of this fabulously fun occasion, feature an animal of any kind dressed up in the clothing of your choice. Add a fun sentiment to cheer up an animal-lover's day! Brownie points if you include a picture on your blog of your pet dressed to celebrate their day!
This week has been especially cold here in Texas. My card features my chihuahua, Calleigh, dressed as a snowman. Many around us had snow, but we did not. So although we are freezing, Calleigh is the only snowman at my house this week!

KSS Cable Car meets SCS TLC829
When I saw the newest Technique Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers this morning, I knew it would be perfect for a fun card using Kitchen Sink Stamps' cable car! So today's Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card is a mini bendi card made with a mix of designer paper, die cuts, and two images from Kitchen Sink Stamps.
The well-written tutorial for the mini bendi was easy to follow and my card came together in no time! And the great thing about it is that when it is finished, it lays flat to go into an A2 envelope! How great is that!!
To create this card, I used the newly released Steam Train & Cable Car as well as a sentiment from Bicycle.

Life Changes - CCEE2101
Hello and welcome to a new year of challenges with the CCEE Stampers. I will be CCEE Stampers hostess and will be posting challenges for the month of January.
A new year usually means New Year's Resolutions. For the first challenge of 2021, I am asking that you feature something that you could add to or subtract from your life to improve the quality of your physical or mental health. Your card can be tongue-in-cheek or the real deal. You decide!
I have decided that this year I will spend more time counting my blessings and being grateful for the amazing things that touch my life daily. Being grateful for the things that I have is a pathway to true joy and happiness. My life is so blessed, and I need to give voice to that fact thanking God each and every day.
Sentiment is from Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps
Let's see what life changes are coming up for the rest of the CCEE Team!
