Hello my friends and wonderful followers! I have some news that I need to share. This challenge will be the last one for CC&CC in 2015. Some of you are aware that I am VERY busy at the moment! I am getting ready for an estate sale of the contents of my family home, packing, packing, packing and selling the home, and at the same time doing a "long distance" build of a new home in Oregon. THEN, I have to move to OR from AZ. I have so much on my plate that I need to deal with, that I have decided it is necessary to take a blog break until sometime after the beginning of next year. But when the time comes to return, it will be Chocolate, Coffee & Card Challenges and business as usual!

Speaking of business as usual, lets get to it!

For a lot of you Autumn is upon us. This is my favorite time of year for so many reasons. One of the fun things of this season is Halloween. Fun for children as well as adults - we get to dress up like we did when we were children! Time to create a card that is full of scary ghouls and things that go bump in the night!

Our FAB sponsor Rick St. Dennis has some of the most awesome and out of the ordinary images; especially for Halloween!

Rick does the most incredible art work. Be sure to go have a look at his amazing digis. Our lucky random winner will will receive their choice of either 2 free digis, or a discount coupon to their shop. So get crafting and join in the fun and a chance to win this great prize.

The gals have made some FAB cards using Rick's digis! Have a look and get inspired to do your own. We can't wait to see them!

Challenge #101 ~ Animals

Welcome all. I want to start this post by giving a HUGE thank you to all of you who joined us for our 100th celebration. What a GREAT celebration it was! And a very special thanx to all of you who took the time to leave such kind messages. All of us here at CC&CC are so happy to have you with us and we so appreciate your support!

Now, on to our current challenge!

Meow, quack quack, moooo, baaaaa, woof woof, oink oink!

Time to celebrate Animals! We would love to see your cards showing an animal, be it cat, dog, pig, cow, you name it. To help us with this fun challenge Deedee's Digis is sponsoring this event.

Deedee's will give our lucky winner a $15 gift voucher to shop with them, what fun! Have a look at the great images they have and the lovely printable papers that so many of the digis include. It makes it so easy to design using their lovely papers.

Here is a sample of some of the great images from Deedee's that the gals created with. We sure hope you enjoy them!
