CCEE2225 - Roses and Pearls

 The rose is the national flower for the month of June while the pearl is June’s gemstone. I am therefore asking the CCEE Stampers to include both of these beauties on their card for this week’s CCEE Challenge!

This is my final week as challenge hostess, and I hope you will play along and share a wonderful design using the rose and pearls!! Won't they make for beautiful June wedding cards?

I've gone with simple elegance using a Sizzix 3-D embossing folder and a sentiment from PaperTrey Ink.

Cheers to Dads - CCEE2223

 Welcome to this week's CCEE Stampers Challenge. Lynn here with our newest challenge!!

This coming Sunday is Father’s Day. I would like for you to create a card for the father of your choice (be it your father, your son, a neighbor, a friend, etc.) personalizing it by showcasing his favorite hobby. Turn it into a birthday card if you would rather! Any occasion will do, as long as it is a masculine card featuring a hobby.

Most of the guys in my life love their beer and love their country so here is my card for this masculine challenge!

What about the rest of the CCEE team?

CCEE2221 - Country Cooking Month

 Hello, CCEE Stamper Fans! I am Lynn McAuley, and I will be hosting the CCEE Challenges for the month of June.

In the United States, June has been declared country cooking month. I am therefore asking the CCEE Stampers to create cards which feature fabulous bounty from the garden in the form of fruits or vegetables that you love to prepare and serve your family during the hot months of summer.

The artichoke is by Kitchen Sink Stamps.

The sentiment is computer generated.

What are the DT members sharing from their summer gardens?
