Challenge #52 ~ Monochromatic and GREAT NEWS!

Welcome back to another fun challenge at CC&CC!  We are so happy you are here.  I would like to thank all of you who have stopped by, and to say a special THANX to all of you who are our followers and return week after week.  YOU are the reason we are here!

I have Great News!  It is so exciting for me to introduce THREE new DT members, YAAAHOOOO!!!  Each of these talented ladies are great card makers and crafters.  Out team is so happy to have them join us!  Here are their bios that each of them would like to share with you.

CINDY
My name is Cindy van der Velde, 39 years old and live in Hellevoetsluis, The Netherlands.  It is a small town appox. 30 km of Rotterdam.  I live together with my boyfriend.  I have no children.  I work full time at a lawyers/solicitors office. I am appointed by the District Court as trustee of people with large debts to help them get a steady life. I meet people with a lot of problems, so card making for me is the utmost way to relax. I've made cards since I was a little girl,  I was always sitting near my Mom with some items to make. I make cards in lots of different ways (scrap, embroidery).  Card making is my biggest hobby.
I was thrilled that I have been chosen to this team.  I hope you get some inspiration from my cards, and if you any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

MIKHA
Hi everybody! :D So glad I'm here with these talented ladies. My name is Mikha Adriani, you can simply call me Mikha :) I live in Surabaya, Indonesia. Surabaya is a hot-hot city! lol. I looove crafting, creating anything, especially when it comes to paper related :) I've tried many before, but seems card making is my passion :) I do scrapbook, and also sometimes try 3d creations :) I wish I do well here :) :) hehe. Can't wait to see your fabulous creation xxx!  Hugs from Surabaya, Mikha

SAMANTHA (SAM)
I am a happily married mum to two gorgeous girls, one 18 years, the other 16 months old!  I love trying out new techniques and although still relatively new to the crafty world, I am loving every bit of it.  My favorite thing at the moment is coloring!  And I use Promarkers.  And if I can, I like to make everything I use on a creation from scratch. I love animals, have quite a few pets and live in England, UK.  : )

Thank you ladies, we are happy to meet you!

And now, on to our new challenge.  Let's see what you do with a MONOCHROMATIC theme.  (using mainly all of one color.)  We are so lucky to have Robyn's Fetish as our super sponsor.

Without any more gab from me, lol, here are the lovely creations from our DT.  Thank you ladies for your beautiful creations and your support to our team!







Our DT member Jill has been ill and couldn't complete her card, so I used her digi and did one for her.  Get well soon Jill!~

Challenge #51 ~ Bugs and Little Critters

Hello and welcome to CC&CC.  We are so happy to have you with us!

It's time for some attention to the little critters!  By "Bugs and Little Critters", we mean mice, ants, ladybugs, snails, butterflies, dragonflies, bees, you get the idea!  IT DOES NOT MEAN LITTLE ANIMALS!!!  So have some fun with the little creatures this challenge!
QKR Stampede will be sponsoring this fun challenge.  They will be awarding our winner 5 free digis of their choice!!  and what a great selection of images they have; rubber stamps and digis!  Be sure to pop by their site and take a look at all they have to offer.


Our design team had a lot of fun with the images that QKR gave us to use.  Take a look!







On a sad note, I am sorry to announce that our DT member Chitra is saying good bye.  She is taking some time to take care of life's important issues.  We will miss you Chitra and wish you all the best.

Challenge #50 ~ AUTUMN - NOT Halloween!

Leaves are turning colors, the days are getting cooler and the smell of wood smoke is in the air.  Don't you just love Autumn!  It's my favorite time of year, as I know it is for a lot of you.  So to celebrate, this challenge is dedicated to this beautiful season.  BUT NO HALLOWEEN themes allowed!  This is for the beauty of Mother Nature and her lovely Fall colors!

We are so fortunate to have 2 sponsors for this challenge, woo hoo!  Our first sponsor for this challenge is the awesome BUGABOO STAMPS!  Their images are among my very favorites.  I can always find an image for any occasion or theme for my projects at their site.


They will be awarding our winner their choice of 7 free images!  Very generous I must say!

 Our 2nd wonderful sponsor is the FAB Robin's Nest! They are so generously awarding a $10 gift certificate to be used on their site for items of your choice!




What fun you could have shopping for craft supplies! Some very nice "retail therapy!"

Now let's take a look at the images our DT have used and their creative designs!:
