CCEE Challenge

CNFS - Eggette!

Our challenge today is our Creative Name Featured Stamper (CNFS) ... for this challenge one person in our group selects a person from SCS who has a catchy user name ... we then create our card using their name for the theme for our card.

Charlene is the challenge hostess for this month and the name she selected for us to use was "Eggette". Apparently Bonnie gathers chicken eggs from over 12000 chickens on their farm. Her favorite embellishment is ribbons and she loves the color green.

Our instructions for this challenge was that our card had to have an egg on it somewhere .... we also had to use some shade of green & ribbon on our card.

Too see the other girls cards go to: CCEE Stampers!

• If you have any MFT stamps, please use them on your design if you can. If you don’t have any (yet!), feel free to play along. The judging will not be based on stamps used, rather on your execution of the challenge!
