Our July host, Jennifer Meyer, has another fun one in store for us this week. Your challenge is to do some dry embossing somewhere on your project. Feel free to use whatever method of dry embossing you like - cuttlebug, brass templates and stylus, Nestabilities, etc. If you don't have any of those tools, try faux dry embossing. If you download your cards to Spitcoast, please use "OCCC" in the keywords.
We hope you liked our recent giveaways. We sure did, so we are doing another fun giveaway, this time courtesy of Marcie at Cut At Home! One lucky winner from this week's challenge participants will be awarded some fun goodies including some Nestabilities and an A2 embossing folder. To be entered into the drawing, we ask you to have your card linked up here in the comments section by 12 noon Eastern Time on Friday. We'll draw a random name from the entries and announce the winner on Saturday, July 26th, along with our next challenge.
Thank you so much, Marcie!! Be sure to check out Cut At Home, where you'll find all kinds of fun Die cutting goodies, including the NEW Nestablilities Labels and A2 Embossing folders by Provocraft. If you sign up for the VIP coupon you can save 40%. Click on the link for the details and please tell her the OCC sent you!
We also have a special guest this week "Diane Gilbert". Diane we are so glad that you could play along with us this week! Please stop by Diane's Blog "My Little Stampin' Spot", please let her know that the OCC sent you.

I finally had some time to stamp. That's not easy to do with five kids running around the house.
I do have a request for the OCCC team. Would it be possible for you to assign a number to the challenges so participants could find them individual challenge instead of one big group?
Here is my card.
