CCEE and Little Paper Shop

Happy Birthday Frances!

Time for our CCEE Challenge. Our challenge this week is another brought to us by Frances Byrne. One of Frances' favorite new things to create are scaplings so this week's CCEE challenge is to create a scrapling. For those of you who haven't heard of scraplings before you can see a few more on Frances' blog here.

Scraplings are normally 1.25" x 4.25" because they are often made from the off cuts you get when you make a square card (4.25" square) from a piece of card that is 4.25" x 5.5". However you can make your scraplings a little wider depending on what you are working on at the time.

I hope you can play along.

Also please check the Little Paper Shop Blog for a fun Challenge Monday Morning.

I made an extra card this week in honor of France's Birthday. If you want to wish Frances Happy Birthday, go on over to her blog. Stamp Owl's Studio!!!!

I just received my new order from Stampin' Up, and just love this designer series paper. It's called Parisian Breeze. Page 158 of the catty. It's textured and I just love the look of it. I also had to have the Baja Breeze 1" Double-Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, to go with it. My little tag is a Sizzlits die --Stampin' Up Lots of Tags! Page 201. And the leaves are Little Leaves, page 200.

CEE Faux Silk

Today's CCEE Challenge is to use the Faux Silk technique. Beate has a great Tutorial on it check it out. Faux Silk by Beate Johns As a extra bonus, we could add an Owl. I just love my Frances Owl from High Hopes, did you know it named after our own StampOwl, Frances?

My Faux Silk is a piece of Mulberry Paper run though the cuttlebug with some blue ink. Hope I don't get the buzzer, for not using a stamp on my silk. Shhhhhhhhhhh don't tell Cindy aka MotherMark.
