Before getting to my challenge cards today, I need to make my apologies. If you have noticed that I am not blog visiting lately it is because my main computer has died. The motherboard litterally went up in flames. Due to cancelled shows, an upcoming vacation, and then waiting for the next computer show where my sister will get a new computer put together for me, I am going to be somewhat out of the loop for a bit. I am hoping to get my camera stuff loaded on this stampcave computer so I can once again take and upload pictures. However, I generally do this AND my commenting on the upstairs computer where my monitor is bigger and easy to see with my weak peepers. So....don't think I am ignoring you......I will comment occasionally from down here. This weeks posts were already scheduled before the 'flames' took me out of the loop completely.
CCEE Challenge -- CCEE1039
Hostess -- Frances
Challenge -- Sketch
I used a favorite stamp by
Innovative Stamp Creations on this sketch. The background stamp is also from
ISC. The sentiment is from a travel themed set by
MFT (My Favorite Things). Other than that, I think you can tell pretty much what I did.
Be sure to stop in at the
CCEE blog to see the wonderful creations from this sketch by the rest of our team.
Stampin B's Challenge #78
Hostess-- Me (Joanne)
Challenge -- Color Challenge of red, black, and white.
Once again I used an image by
Innovative Stamp Creations...I am just in LOVE with these floral silhouettes. I used a punch to created the side borders. The sentiment is from a set by Cornish Heritage Farms (who sadly have closed their company). Other than that I am sure you can figure out what I did in the creative process.
Now...hop, skip and jump to the
Stampin B's blog to see the dramatic creations of the team.
NOW....be sure to check out how YOU can play right along with both teams' challenges.

Your cards are both so very beautiful and stunning! I really like the beautiful scene work on your CCEE card and how you carried it across the panels. And, you can never go wrong with red, black, and white in my book! Beautimous!
