CCEE2213 - No Housework Day

Our April CCEE Challenge hostess, Liz Williams has asked the CCEE Stampers to celebrate “NO HOUSEWORK DAY” by spending the day in our stamp rooms designing a “Free for All” card with the theme of our choice. She said, "Have fun," and I sure did.

This card is going to a friend (not naming any names here) to give him a chuckle! This card shows him at his favorite place taking part in his favorite sport! This guy is from Art Impressions. I added a die cut beer bottle in his hand. The hilarious sentiment is from Picket Fence Studios.

Let's see what the rest of the crew chose to create this week:

CCEE2121 - Celebrating National Road Trip Day

CCEE May Challenge Hostess, Liz Williams says, "Wow, it has finally arrived, and I have had all my vaccines, so maybe this year can mean a road trip!! May 28th is National Road Trip Day!! Your creation might include a map, a wonderful scene, or an exhausting shopping spree to a great out-of-town spot you haven't ventured to in quite some time. You might want to include the car if you would like on your card. Have fun, and if a road trip is still not on your agenda, take a virtual one in your imagination." 

Sounds good to me! I can't wait to get out on the road again. My card features some of those fabulous girlfriends from Art Impressions.

SCS Free4All 478 - Horsing Around

I had time this morning to take part in the Free 4 All Challenge over at Splitcoaststampers. I have had this Hampton Art Art Impressions Road Trip set for a good while, but it has never been inked before. I thought this "Horsing Around" Challenge was perfect for it because my niece and I decided this week that we will attend Junkie Fest in Minnesota in 2020. We will be flying instead of driving, but it will be a fun-filled road trip nevertheless!!

The license plate embossing folder is from Darice.

CCEE1907 - Birthday Cards

In addition to being Valentine's Day, today is also the birthday of the CCEE Stampers' February hostess, Maryann Einam. So in honor of Maryann's big day, the CCEE Stampers are making birthday cards. I decided to go fun and masculine.

The stamp set I used is the Lawn Ranger by Art Impressions. The dies I used include Country Scapes Mountains by Elizabeth Craft Designs and Grassy Edges and Rolling Hills Die-Namics by My Favorite Things.

When Maryann challenged the CCEE Stampers to create cards using photos or featuring a photography theme, I thought immediately of this fun Art Impressions Girlfriends image.
