Stampin B's and CCEE Challenges.

I really do hope that no one is bothered by my doing these two challenge postings in the same post.  It makes it easier for me.  Anything which makes my life easier is AOK with me......IYKWIM!!!!

CCEE Challenge #1009
Inspiration Challenge

Tosh is our hostess for the month of March and she is challenging us to inspiration challenges.  The picture (from Williams Sonoma) to the left was the inspiration piece for this week.  I took inspiration from the plate layout (my card design), the leaves in each section (used a leaf backgrounder), and the tall breadsticks (which became my tall flower shoots).

The image I used is from Nature Silhouettes I by Innovative Stamp Creations.  I do not know the maker of the unmounted leaf backgrounder.

Now be sure to visit the CCEE Blog to see all the creations by the team members.  Then, using the links you'll find in my sidebar, take a journey to their individual blogs to read more about their creations.

Stampin B's Challenge #48 
Flowers in main image and buttons as embellishments.

As hostess for this week, I challenged the team to make a card with a main image that included flowers AND to also use buttons as embellishments on their cards.

I used this image from MFT which has been gathering dust. I thought it might be a card you could use in place of a 'get well' card for some situations. Seems like a lot of people in my circle of friends have been confronting cancer in their lives. I think this card would show them I care and yet not be an ordinary get well card. What do you think????

I used:
Cuttlebug embossing folders
Martha Stewart deep punch
Heart buttons (unknown)
Spellbinder die
Piercing kit (SU)
Ribbon (unknown)

Now be sure to go to the Stampin B's blog to see the creations of the entire team.  Also, use the links in my sidebar to visit the individual blogs of the team members to see more of their creative process and other creations.
