Challenge #56 ~ Let's Go To The Circus!

HAPPY 2014 to all of our GREAT followers and challenge participants!  AND to all who come to this page, you are always welcome!  All of us here at CC&CC wish you all the best in the year ahead.

I would like to thank all of our sponsors we had in 2013, they were so very generous and we were very lucky to use their FAB images.  I hope that we helped promote your businesses. And also I want to WELCOME all our NEW sponsors for 2014!  We are really looking forward to working with them, and hopefully introducing YOU to some great, new digis!

Talk about starting the New Year off with a BANG ~ Our lovely and talented DT member Sue has been published!!!  We are so proud of her and send big CONGRATS!  Be sure to go see her lovely creation that is in Dorcrafts Creativity Magazine Jan/Feb edition.

Now, let's get down to some fun card making!  To start off 2014, we wanted to do a theme that was FUN!  When I saw the images of our first sponsor of the year, Digital Delights, I was excited to see the circus designs and decided that would be a great theme.  I don't know about you, but when I was a child the circus was a LOT of fun.

Let's take a look at what our DT have for you for our first challenge of 2014!

Challenge #55 ~ New Beginings

 As 2014 approaches, I want to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of you for your awesome support of CC&CC over this past year.  YOU, the followers and those who participate in our challenges, make us the fun blog we are.  I hope that we continue to have your support and inspire you to get your mojo going and join us for some card making fun!

And so another year is coming to an end, the time just seems to fly by.  And with the start of a NEW year we are looking forward to make this one even better than the last.  A time for our theme of "New Beginnings".  A new year, a new baby, retirement, wedding. . .   All of these things are the start of something new and wonderful!  So join in and show us what a new beginning is for you in 2014!

Our FAB sponsor for our last challenge of 2013 is Milk Coffee.

Challenge #54 ~ Happy Holidays

Happy December!  Time for more fun at CC&CC. 
First I want to thank all of you for the great participation we had our last challenge.  A super assortment of styles and creations!  ALSO, a big thanx to our guest designers Celine & Martina.  And most of all, to  our FAB DT at CC&CC, YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!


Are you starting to feel a bit pressured by the holidays getting close?  So much to do!  Baking, shopping, parties, it goes on and on!  Well here is a chance to relax and have fun creating a holiday card.  The theme for our challenge should reflect anything to do with the holiday season ~ that covers a LOT of territory, lol!
To get us going with our challenge, Eureka Stamps is again our wonderful sponsor.  Their stamps cover so many categories and occasions.  A fab thing about Eureka is that as well as having super digis, most of their stamps also come in rubber.  That's great for those of you who prefer them to digis!  Take a peek at all they have to offer!  Our lucky winner will receive 
5 free digis of their cholce!

Eureka very generously let each of our DT choose any digi that they wanted to use from their FAB images!  Each one is great, and the DT really enjoyed doing these cards for you.
Here they are, enjoy!
