Merry Christmas from my Beach to Yours!! - Kitchen Sink Stamps

I'm CERTAIN this never happens at your house, but it has happened again to me this year. Just when I get all my Christmas cards created, signed, addressed, and mailed, here comes another one from an unexpected  source.

So while I thought my Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card today would be one celebrating the New Year, instead I am still cranking out Christmas cards.

Today's card features images from Palm Trees, Christmas Lights, and Christmas Poinsettia (the sentiment).



I will be celebrating Christmas with my little "core" family at the beach again this year. We have grown by two members in 2022: a fiance' for granddaughter#2 and a precious baby boy for granddaughter #1 and her husband).   What fun awaits!!

CCEE2250 - Time Marches On!

 Hi Crafty Friends

Welcome to our final CCEE Stampers challenge. 

Before we get to Maryann's challenge below, Frances B, our fearless leader wanted to update you about our challenge group. 

"Sadly I have to let you know, that this will be our final challenge on the CCEE blog. After over 15 years of lots of fun challenges, it's time to say goodbye! I was fortunate to be one of the foundation members of this challenge group, which started in July 2007 over on Splitcoaststampers ... there were eight of us. We called ourselves ... Cheers & Challenges Eclectic Ensemble which later got shortened to CCEE Stampers. When we first started our challenge group, there weren't many if any others around. Now there are thousands. We have had a lot of fun over the years, and a big thanks to all our current Design Team members for playing along each week and taking turns issuing the challenges each month. 

Thank you also for those of you who have also played along with us over the years, we love that you play along with us.

Okay ... now let's get to Maryann's final challenge for 2022."

Time is counting down to the end of the year, so I am asking that you card feature clocks on your card. Think of time clocks, stop watches or even a countdown clock anything to do with time.

Wishing you all a Merry and Safe Christmas and New Year.




My card was created using Grandfather's Pocket Watch by Kitchen Sink Stamps, a sentiment from Wave of Inspiration by Stampin' Up, and a gear stencil from The Crafter's Companion.

Here are the final CCEE creations from the current design team:

Today's holiday card features images from Mighty Moose and Snowy Cabin. The embossed falling snow is a Stampin' Up embossing folder and the die cut tag is by Sizzix. The rose gold glitter paper and card front are from the Paper Studio.
