CCEE1201 --


Welcome back to the CCEE Stampers Challenge!!!

Frances is our hostess for the month of January. This was her challenge....

Yesterday 4th January was Jakob Grimm’s birthday … he was born in 1785 and was responsible for many of the popular fairy tales that we enjoy today including Cinderella, Snow White; Sleeping Beauty; Hansel and Gretel; Rapunzel and many more found in Grimm’s Fairy Tales. So our challenge today is to create a card using one of the Grimm’s Fairy Tales as your inspiration … don’t forget to tell us which one you chose.

My inspiration came from Sleeping Beauty.  This image, by Michelle Perkett, just looks like a fairytale character to me and Sleeping Beauty just came to mind.  I apologize for the 'muddy' photo.

Now, be sure to check out the CCEE Blog to see what the fairytales inspired the rest of the team to create.

Happy New Year to all.......and to my CCEE buddies.....I am so delighted to be starting another year with you all, my dear stamping friends.

So sorry my post is late........somehow when I scheduled it it became a draft....who knows????
