CCMC 200 - It's a Celebration!!!

Good morning, Friends! I am so excited to be sharing this week's Create with Connie and Mary challenge! They are turning 100!!! Well, Connie and Mary aren't turning 100 but their challenge site is!!! And to celebrate, they are giving away blog candy!!! So this week's challenge is a theme challenge and can you guess what that theme is? Well, the challenge is to create a project with a 'Celebration' theme. We would also like for you to use your favorite designer paper and pennants or banners. Sound like fun? I had fun with this challenge and I know you will, too!


For my card, I started with a card base of Crumb Cake. Then I took a piece of Early Espresso and ran it through the Big Shot with the Tasteful Trim die. I added these scallops to the back of a Very Vanilla panel. Then I took my favorite designer papers from the Mocha Morning pack and cut three of them into a banner shape. The ends of these are folded over a piece of Early Espresso baker's twine. The ends of the twine are wrapped around a brad. I did add a dimensional to the backs of the banners, too. Then I adhered this panel to the card base. I stamped the greeting from Perfectly Penned in Early Espresso at the bottom of the card base. A very fun and simple card using some of my favorite products! 


Make sure to visit the Create with Connie and Mary site to see how the other designers are celebrating! Don't forget to enter a project for this week's challenge to be eligible for blog candy!! We always love to see what you do! Remember to use only Stampin' Up! products!! Thanks for stopping by and celebrating with us!!
