CHALLENGE #100! CELEBRATION

WELCOME EVERYONE!!!
I am so excited to tell you that we are REALLY celebrating here at CC&CC!  We have reached our  
100th CHALLENGE!
I have been with CC&CC since the very first challenge.  I was SO delighted to be a DT member for a brand new challenge blog.  At challenge #34 I became the owner and coordinator and have never looked back!  It has been a WONDERFUL experience!  I want to THANK and give credit to EVERY gal who ever served as a DT member for CC&CC!  Without all of you, CC&CC wouldn't be the FAB place it is today.  Take a stroll down memory lane and browse back through the FAB creations that have been posted here.

SO, in honor of this special occasion, we are CELEBRATING!  We want you to make a card for any kind of celebration; birthday, wedding, anniversary, good luck on a new adventure, you get the idea!.

We are so happy to have The Paper Shelter here with us to sponsor this special challenge! 


 They have some of the most fun images you will find!  Be sure to visit them and have a look around.  I know you will be so happy you did!  They will award our lucky random winner a
$15 Gift Certificate
to shop on their blog!  You will love that they not only give you a fab image, but most of their images include printable backgrounds and paper!

 I wanted to use an image that I could showcase our 100th..  When I found this one called
 "Seeking Inspiration", 
I knew it was perfect to highlight our 100th challenge!

Joanne

The Paper Shelter also  generously gave our DT two adorable digis to work with for our celebration.  The first one is called "Cheerleader", and the second "Patissier In Distress".  The gals did a SUPER job making their creations to inspire and share with you.  I know you are going to love them!

Sue


With all this happy news, I am sorry to share some sad, but still wonderful news.  My longest DT member, Sue, is leaving us.  She has been on our DT since challenge #32!!!  Her contributions to CC&CC have been enormous, and I am going to miss her soooooo much!  BUT, she is onward to a FABULOUS opportunity!  She will be designing for Crafty Sentiments and will have the chance to have her creations on TV!!!  
WOW, GO SUE!!
We all wish you the BEST on your adventure in crafting.
You are a very special lady, and I am so glad I have gotten to have you as a friend and DT member.  May your days always be filled with love and crafting!
Hugs, to you Sue, Joanne

And I too have some sort of sad news, lol!  I am in the process of building my new home in Oregon and selling my current home.  That means packing ~ and with that comes having to pack all my craft supplies, BOO HOO!!!  So from here until I am not sure when, I will not be able to contribute a card to our challenges.  But, I will still be running our challenges and making sure you still have a fun place to come to for fun and inspiration!
