CCEE and Stampin B's Challenges

Lois gave us a real challenge this week.  The Stampin B's were given a 1-2-3 challenge......1 layer, 2 stamps, 3 colors.  As many of you know, 1 layer is near impossible for me.......but I did it!!!!  I used the image and sentiment stamp from the newly releases set, Poppies, Poppies, Poppies, from Mark's Finest Papers.  For my three colors, I used green, red, and black/gray.  I added paper piercing, ribbon (SU), and a ribbon charm.

Now be sure to checl out the other one layer beauties at the Stampin B's Blog.

Francis is the hostess of the CCEE Stamper's Challenge this month.  Francis shared with us that the baseball was invented on June 12th 1839, so for our challenge this week we were to create a card that has a sports theme. The sport doesn’t have to be baseball.   I went with golf.  This card will go to my golf-crazy sister at some point, and then I will add a sentiment.  I used a stamp from I Brake for Stamps.  I somewhat borrowed this sketch from a past Mojo Monday sketch I had printed up a while ago.  I embossed the white background to resemble a golf ball's texture.

Now.....I don't know about you, but I can't wait to see what the rest of the team does with this sports inspired challenge.  To find out, visit the CCEE Stampers Challenge Blog.
