Hello Ladies,

Sorry for the super long wait!! I've been trying to make some changes to the website and nothing worked out properly! It was driving me crazy and made my schedule fell behind... so I'm going to put that plan aside for now...Here comes the next new release stamp set - Summer fun, I'll be creating 1 or 2 more sets of summer fun stamps because there are just too much you can do under the beautiful sun! If you have anything you wish me to put into my next stamp set please let me know!!

The Swing Boy, Swing Girl and Flying Kite Stamps are also sold individually. As you can see, little bear is in the stamps too! I love him soooo much! I'll create a summer stamp for Freddie too!!

Below is the Sketch Challenge #8. Please send me an image of your project 2 days prior to the sketch challenge. Please promote this sketch challenge emphasizing participants may win FREE STAMPS. The prize will be announced on my sketch challenge blog on Thursday. Also for the blog hop challenge (sketch #7), winner will also be announced on the upcoming Thursday, so please remind your readers to visit my challenge blog on that day. =)

There are also few things that I would like to remind everyone. Please try to leave more comments to the CCM blog and CCM Member gallery, the member gallery has been so quiet lately. Please also don't forget to upload your projects to the gallery so that visitors can see your projects even if they've missed out the blog posts. You may add your blog link in the photos if you wish. =)

Here's the schedule for the next 2 weeks:

I hope you girls will like this new set. Please feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Hi Ladies!!!
I'm excited to show you the new release!! It's 4th of July Stamp Set!! Freddie, Hot air balloon, boy and girl are also available as single stamps. One more exciting news is the digital pattern paper for the 4th of July!! (scroll down to see the image). Each you will receive the whole set of stamp and paper just to thank you for all your hard work!! You are not required to use the pattern papers on the card samples. You can use them on your other DT projects if you wish...credits to CCM will be appreciated =P

The release date of the stamps and papers is Monday June 7th. I have the schedule of that week posted below. Please take a look and let me know if you need to reschedule your time =) Hope you like this set!!

Hi Ladies,

-So we are all doing sneak peek as scheduled.

-Once again, here's the hop order, we are posting on Thursday, June 3rd, 8:00AM PST:

To confirm your time is correct, go to the world clock to double check. Just to make sure I didn't make any mistake....

Please only make the people before you and the person after you "clickable" so viewers are forced to go through every blog. Eg, on Katie's post, me, Lorraine, Jane and Laura's name will be clickable.

-participant will hop through out blogs. 3 singles stamps will be given out to 3 participant who leaves comments on our blogs during the hop. The more comments to leave, the more chance to win (only 1 entry per blog per person).

-When participant arrives to the last post (CCM challenge), she can participate the sketch challenge to enter the draw. Everyone is welcome to play the challenge, but only cards made with CCM stamps are eligible to enter the draw. For participants that do not have CCM stamps, they can use the FREEBIE stamp.

-participant needs to enter their links of their card on inlinkz so that I can do a random draw. End date of the challenge and other details will be posted on the CCM Challenge.

What to say in your post. Just simple things like... how much you love CCM.. LOL what you did with the sketch challenge.... just like what you do with your normal posts.

Please let me know if I'm missing anything... 

Farewell to Laura
There's also a upsetting news to share with everyone. Laura is going to leave our team after this blog hop due to personal reason. Thanks for making all these beautiful cards for CCM and thank you for all the support you've gave me. I'm so glad I've met a friend like you. I'm sure I'll still see you around in CCM... right? =) Take care and good luck in everything Laura! *hugS* We're keep in touch for sure!!

I'm looking for more talented ladies to join the team. I'm spending lots of time looking at blogs =) If any of you girls have any recommendation, please let me know~

Hey girls! Sorry I'm late for the schedule this week! I've been so busy this weekend.. I know I haven't post up the sketch #6... I'll post it now... I know it's too late.. so it's ok you decide to skip this one. I will be moving the sketch challenge section to somewhere else, so it won't be in the CCM community anymore, the community will be just member gallery and for others to chat. The sketch challenge will be a individual section(more like a blog format) and I will use inlinkz to let participant to submit their work (just like all the other challenge blogs... )... :)

Here's the new schedule. I've added Debbie in! YAY!!!! So next week it's is going to be a FUN week!! We are making cards as usual, BUT since there's no stamp release next week, we can pick any CCM stamps to make a card! YAY, and we're making a card for the sketch#7 (blog hop) too!! You can use any CCM stamp of your choice too... You can put like... 10 different CCM stamps on a card if you want... LOL.

I'm thinking maybe we should do a sneak peek for the blog hop card. For Me, Jane and Debbie, we can do the sneak peek with the regular CCM post. Kerry will be doing sneak peek on Monday, Lorraine will be doing sneak peek on Tuesday (see calendar if I'm confusing you, I know I am...LOL) Kerry and Lorraine, please let me know if you think this is too much posting to do, I will rearrange the schedule.

Laura has told me her situation and she is not able to make 2 cards in a week for me. So Laura is going to make only the card for the blog hop. Laura are doing your sneak peek on Wednesday, as usual. If any of you girls are not able to commit to the schedule, please feel free to discuss with me. =)

Alright girls! So the blog hop is happening on Thursday June 3rd, at 8:00amPST (that's my time, because my blog cannot set a time to automatically post by itself. I think blogspot can do that right??)
Here's the order of the list:

CCM (8:00AM my time)
Lorraine (4:00PM your time) http://coldwaters2.blogspot.com/
Jane (8:00AM your time) http://whoopsiedaisy-jane.blogspot.com/
Katie (guest designer, not confirmed) http://bothsidesofthepaper.blogspot.com/
Laura (10:00AM your time) http://lilinker.blogspot.com/
Sarah (guest designer, not confirmed) http://sarahwrightdesigns.blogspot.com/
Kerry (10:00AM your time) http://kerryischilling.blogspot.com/
Debbie (not confirmed) http://debbieeastmancardsimake.blogspot.com/
CCM http://www.chichimemories.com/challenge.html

Please only make the person after you "clickable" so that viewers are forced to go through every blog.
The banner below is for next week's promotion, please add it to your CCM posts.

And here's the badge for you to put on the side of your blog.

Next week's challenge is challenge #6, but I'm showing you challenge #7 first (the one for blog hop) so everyone can be well prepared for the hop:

Also one more thing to announce. We have DEBBIE joining our team starting from JUNE!! Please welcome her to our team =) Here's Debbie's blog with her pretty creations: http://debbieeastmancardsimake.blogspot.com/

So that's all for now, ladies please let me know if I'm missing anything. It's my first blog hop! (well the last one doesn't really count... lol)

Have a great weekend!!

Hello Ladies,

I'm having another Freddie stamp coming out!! It is for Father's Day! Hope you will like it =)

Here's the schedule:

Here's the sketch for May 20th

so the first sketch challenge with a prize will take place on Thursday June 10th. I would like to promote those challenge a week ahead. I will make a banner and email it to you so you can promote it on the previous week when you post your CCM project.

Let's do a blog hop on the first few challenges. Here's the order:
-Me
-Lorraine
-Jane
-Laura
-Kerry
-and there might be more designers joining the hop.. will be announced soon.

I need to know all of you time zone. Please tell me the time zone on the comment below so I can arrange the post time =)

Hello ladies,

I'm releasing Father's day Stamp set this week.

This is a stamp set so I'll need 2 samples from you. The schedule is below. Please let me know if you want to rearrange the post date. =)

This is such a long post, I hope I'm not overwhelming you with all these info. I just want to post out CCM.SC#4 too, so you don't need to come back for another post later on. =)

That's all!! Let me know if you have any questions =)

Hello Ladies,

After a long thought I've decided to make a few changes to my stamp release and sketch challenge "system". CCM is still very new to the scrapbooking business, it is not yet a well known brand to scrapbookers out there. Releasing a new stamp every week may be a waste because the stamps are coming out so fast but without too many people knowing about the release. So I've decided to change the stamp release from weekly to bi-weekly. =)

The stamps will be release every other Monday, starting from June. May 31st is a Monday, so there will be a release on that day then the next stamp release day will be on 14th, then 28th. In this case, we will have more time to make more samples for each stamp and play the sketch challenges. So you are still making samples every week but you are promoting the stamp for 2 weeks instead of 1 week.

Starting from June, sketch challenge participants may have a chance to win a FREE stamp. They will have to post their project made with CCM stamps on their blog and submit their links in CCM community to enter the draw. This way I hope viewers will have more interests to CCM and draw more traffic to the shop.

All DTM is required to participate in the sketch challenge and promote the challenge on their blogs. (if in any occasion you are not able to participate in the challenge, please discuss with me at least 2 days in advance). 

 The sketch challenge will take place every Thursday. I will post out the sketch in the  DTM discussion every Monday so you will have time to prepare for the project. =) Note that the stamp release project and sketch challenge projects are not to be combined as 1 project. So each week you are to make a project for the new released stamp and a project for the sketch challenge using any CCM stamp. If you happen to win in the challenge (random draw) you may pick a stamp that you don't have.

So this is my plan for now. I'm posting this up early because I'm open for discussion. I would like to know if all the ladies are OK with this plan. Please feel free to leave a comment below if you have any other suggestions (or if I'm confusing you, I'm bad at explaining stuff... Lol) =)

That's it for now! *Back to sketching* New stamp is coming out tomorrow =)

Have a great weekend!!

Hello ladies, I almost forgot to post the up coming sketch! Here you go!

I'm adding couple of talented ladies to our guest design team. Will introduce them to you soon! =)
Have a great night!

Hello Ladies,

Sorry that I'm a little bit late for the this post. I was trying to color the digi with more detail on it so I spent the whole day coloring this image. It turned out pretty nice, I'm liking it =)
I'm making this stamp called " A relax moment". I love to day dream. I enjoy staring at something random while my mind is traveling in the universe.. lol... but I don't have a lot of chance to do that anymore because of my work and all these house chores I have to do. So I'm making Chi Chi to do day dream for me... haha

Here's the updated schedule. The schedule might be changed later on because there will be a few guest designers joining us for May. (I know I'm behind.. >.<) so once the changes are made I will put up another schedule for you =)

that's all for now! hope you are liking the new stamp!

oh... and the elephant's name is Freddie now because Laura has named her elephant Fred and I think it's pretty cute so I'm naming him Freddie =p

Have a great day Ladies!!
