CCEE2039 Mushrooms

For her last challenge, Frances says this is mushroom month...so our challenge is to include one or more mushrooms, either stamped or die cut on our creations.

CCEE2038 Shake Month

Frances tells us September is "Shake Month", which is to celebrate all things milkshakes.

She says, one of the first interactive cards she created when she first started stamping 30 years ago (!) was a shaker card, so that's the challenge this week.  Bonus points if there is a milkshake!

My favorite was always a strawberry milkshake, so that's what I have here!

CCEE2037 Slimline

Slimline cards seem to be very popular at present, especially with a few companies releasing dies especially for the use of creating this style of card.  For our challenge this week Frances asks us to create a slimline card.  There are two popular sizes: 8 1/2 x 3 1/2 or 4 inches x 9.  They should fit into a business envelope.

This card goes to our Daughter-in-law, Debbie, a Math teacher.  Inside it says,

"Algebra teachers could be pirates, asking us to always find X - where the treasure lies!"

CCEE2032 Lighthouse Day

Our hostess for the month of August is Liz.  This month she turns 70! So we are doing challenges that kind of go along with Liz's life story, or that add some fun to this big event in her life.

Liz has lived most of her life near the Gulf of Mexico, so salt water seems to run in her veins.  Since August 7th is Lighthouse Day, use a lighthouse on your card and use a scripture or encouraging verse to add to it, letting words be a way to light someone on their path of life.
