CCEE2142 - Number It
October CCEE Hostess, Frances Byrne, has asked the CCEE Stampers to "Number It!" She asked that we include a number or numbers on our creations this week. She said we could make an aged birthday card; use number themed designer paper or number themed embossing folders or dies. Frances says that anything goes as long as there is a number somewhere!
The date was created with the We R Memory Keepers Word Punch.

Kitchen Sink Stamps - Thanks Poppy
I'm sharing this Kitchen Sink Stamps sponsored card today which I am calling my Thanks Poppy. I have been spending the past week getting caught up on creating and sending thank you cards that needed to go out. I believe this one is my favorite!
To create this design, I used images from Remembrance Poppy, Poppy Bouquet, and Watercolor Thanks. The stems and buds were stamped directly on the green designer paper which is from Crate Paper. The flowers, leaves, and thanks were stamped on the SVG cut files which come free with the sets if you place them in your cart at the time of purchase. If not, you can purchase them later for 99¢. For added texture on this card, I used a die from Tim Holtz Mixed Media Thinlits by Sizzix. Beneath the die cut layer is a piece of blue BasicGrey designer paper.

CCEE2139 - Classical Music Month
Lois Bak, our September CCEE Challenge hostess, tells us that September is also Classical Music Month. She has challenged the CCEE Stampers to create a card with a musical theme. It doesn’t have to be classical music. It could be Jazz, Country, Rock 'n Roll - anything musical, even a musical instrument.
I created this card to honor of my sister who has devoted herself to providing music to a number of prison ministries for many years. I framed this and gave it to her for her birthday.
I love you, Liz, and the way in which the light of Christ shines through the life you live each and every day.
The guitar image is by Kitchen Sink Stamps.
How did the CCEE Team feature music this week?
Check for yourself!
SCS SC873 - My Creepy Little Friend
I used Splitcoaststampers' Sketch Challenge 873 to stamp this one layer Halloween card. It includes images from the newly released sets Graveyard Raven and Scaredy Cat with the haunted house from last year's Mysterious Mansion.
I also blended clouds over the top using SVG Cut Stencil Cloudy Skies.
