C.C. Designs

September First Challenge

 Hello again, it's Christine. I know this challenge is over, but I wanted to bring this post over to the blog anyways. Please join us again soon for another challenge.

 

OH MY GOSH! LOOK AT THIS BLOG......I LIKE TO COLOR AND RE-CREATE..opps...I am getting away from the task at hand!

 Are you ready to participate in some challenges from C.C. Designs?  Better yet- Do you love to color and put a smile on someone’s face with your dazzling creations?  Then this is the place for you!!

This is the Digi Divas premiere event and they have created some beautiful projects.  Can you guess the challenge before the end of the post? Come on....you can do it!!!!

The first creation is none other than Jerusha Borden.  I love how her love of crocheting is evident and super fun.  Jerusha used Book Abigail as her main focus and added tons of layers to her challenge.  Love it Jerusha!

　

Next, we have Shanna Shands  who used the beautiful digi Autumn’s Mum.  She is so sweet and a brand new digi this month at C.C. Designs.  The rich cranberry red bow creates a beautiful flourish on Shanna’s one of a kind creation.   Keep Rockin’ it Diva!

　

Super Diva Leah Tees had also used Book Abigail, who looks very studious on her project.  I love this journal style project making it a one of a kind, loveable gift for anyone.  The tulle and metal embellishments bring the project all together.  Nothing says Love like a homemade presents (plus I love the idea of keeping track of all your books….read, want to read and otherwiseJ ).

　

I, Tarah DeMerchant,  used Olivia’s Apple, she is so adorable I just couldn’t help creating a card for my daughter’s first day of Kindergarten.  Learning is so much fun and it continues to keep your mind fresh with as many ideas as possible.  I really love the color combination that tied this card together.  These Divas really did an Awesome Job!!!

Now for the part of the blog entry you are waiting for….the challenge.  Have you guessed it? 

BACK TO SCHOOL

 

Feel free to choose a color combination, school supplies, apples or whatever you think of as back to school.  Remember to grab a few of the cutest little Digis around.

Welcome the New Challenge Team for C.C. Designs

Hello everybody, Christine here. You might have seen this post on our Challenge Blog, we decided to incorporate the Challenges into our regular blog. 

 

 

 We have four ladies (plus me) that will be joining us for the first 6 month term. These ladies will be working hard to ensure there are some new techniques to learn, cards to create and products to try at CC Designs.

 

Let’s begin with:

Leah Tees

Hello everyone, my name is Leah Tees. I have been an artist for 20 years, first and for the longest as a painter. I now do paper crafts, and love to color. As a mother and an Educational Assistant, I love to see and have fun with many young wonderful personalities, and certain stamp designs appeal to that side of me. CC Designs is one of those wonderful companies, whose stamp designs allow me to add a touch more personality to their characters; personalities that I have seen and enjoyed, either at home or at work. Coloring and paper crafting has been an idle passion for me for a few years now, not fully knowing what I wanted to do with it. Now I know and I love it!

And now we will meet our next Diva, who is.... 

Jerusha Borden

My paper crafting journey started after I had my first baby ­ I had been attending a Mom and Baby class and one of the last things we did at the ten week program was make a scrapbook page of our baby. I had so much fun with it I went to the local craft store and purchased some supplies to make a few more pages. I have come a long way since then! Now I have several albums and scrapbook pages of both of my wonderful boys, my husband, family and friends. I don't scrapbook as much now that I have discovered a love of card making which all started when I wanted to encourage my pastor's wife by making her a card. Not only did I find how much fun it was to create cards, I discovered how wonderful and easy it was to encourage others and share some love in such a simple way.

And where there are two Darling Divas, there are three....

Without further ado lets introduce

Shanna Shands!

I am a SAHM of two who spends her free time crafting. I love mixed media and painting and getting dirty, but my first love is coloring. I have been coloring now  for 3 or 4 years now lol who is counting. I love creating cards using stamped images. Coloring with copics seems to be my “it” thing. I would love to branch out and learn to color with Distress Inks and maybe even with pencils, but copics are always my grab and color method. I love sharing everything I make and hope to inspire everyone interested in what I do. I am really excited for the chance to be on C.C. Designs team. Thanks for this fun chance.

 

Look at all those beautiful smiles!

 

I guess the last and final Devilish Diva is none other than me, Tarah.

Really folks ....no kidding I started paper crafting after I got married, thought “hey, why not, right? Batta Bing Batta Boom.......my husband should have said step away from the beginners class and run....well 10 years later (yep, I remember meeting a friend that said she had scrapped for 10 years, I thought, “really who does the same craft for that long....sigh....now its me on the other side...lol). The funny thing is I only started making cards about three years ago and I am loving this journey because the projects are quick and well.....I simply LOVE it. I have the pleasure of working with the C.C. Design Divas, the images and the owner (Christine Wooden), who I wanna say: ROCKS So take a minute, stop over at the store (www.ccdesignsrubberstamps.com) check out the merchandise and exercise the visa....paypal....bank account.....whatever strikes your fancy. Our Delicious Divas look forward to seeing your Awesome work. Well if you ask me I live with the bears, beavers and bucks in Eastern Canada where its summer now but winter is just around the corner!

C.C. Designs Monthly Challenge No. 7

On to challenge number 7 on the C.C. Designs Blog! Our challenges will happen around the middle of each month, and run an entire month. 

At first this challenge was going to be Funky Shaped Cards, when I finished my card I realized it really isn't funky shaped at all. So my card has a guy on it so the theme this month is Guy cards and/or Funky Shaped Card.

A lot of the elements on my card where made as I made the card. I used my Silhouette to print and cut 20's Luca, I then colored him with Copic Markers. I then cut out the "A's" and the clubs. I then made up the pattern paper, printed, and cut out the fish tail tags. It lacked a sentiment, I made up "You're one of a kind" to add to the card. I am thinking about offering a digi kit of this card? What do you think? Or what about mini card kits? All the product needed to make the card in a kit along with the rubber stamp?

• Use an Amy R Stamps, C.C. Designs, Drozy,Little Blue Button, Make It Crafty, Mashi Muffins, Monkey Feet, Polly craft, Roberto's Rascals, Shaky A, Sister Stamps, Sweet November, Webbie Words, A Random Fan, Loria Designs, or die for the focal point on your card or project.

• You have until March 18th to enter. Winner announced on the 20th, new challenge on the 21st.
