It's A Girl Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc055

March 12, 2020

It's time for a new challenge at Tic Tac Toe Challenge 

I am the hostess this week and I hope you will all enjoy my board.  We can't wait to see all of your creations!

My card is created using the right column: Polka Dots, Pink and Die Cuts.

I added a yellow background on my white card base.  I found this pink and yellow patterned paper in my stash for the next layer.  I used a border die to cut the yellow scallop.  I added a panel of pink and white polka dots.  The top layer is yellow and white and I cut the polka dot onsie using a retired die "Something For Baby" from Stampin Up.  The sentiment is stamped in black and pink.  A few yellow enamel dots and a yellow bow were added to complete my card. 

Please stop by and see all the fabulous cards by the Design Team.  There is so much inspiration!

We hope you will play along with us this week!

Hugs Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc053

Feb. 27, 2020

It's time to play along at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge! 

Tenia is our hostess and she has an amazing board for all of us!  

I played on the diagonal this week:  Watercolor, Flowers, Big Sentiment.

My card is created on a white card base.  The watercolor panel is created using two shades of Distress Oxide Ink.  I trimmed the paper with a postage stamp die.  The flowers and leaves are created using the MFT Stitched Blooms dies.  I love these dies and have created many cards with them.   I used yellow and coral paper for the flowers and picked a plaid patterned paper for the leaves.  I thought it added more dimension.  The sentiment is cut five times using coral paper.  I added a few sparkling sequins to complete more card.  

Please stop by and see all the fabulous cards by the Design Team.  There is so much inspiration!

We hope you will play along with us this week!

Be Mine Tic Tac Toe Challenge #tttc051

Feb. 13, 2020

I am so happy to announce that the Tic Tac Toe Challenge is back up and running!  This is the second week and we couldn't be more thrilled to host this amazing challenge!  I am on Team O and here is the board for this week.  Laurie is our hostess this week and she included a lot of fabulous February ideas for your projects! 

I used the left column to create my card.  (Hearts, Polka Dots and Red)

I used a white card base and added a polka dot panel.  Then I cut a red rectangle and and turquoise layer with a die from my stash.  I added a heart panel and then a red and white oval.  The little girl is from MFT-Pure Innocence Blowing Kisses stamp set.  I colored her with Copic Markers and paper pieced her dress.  I added a little red heart in her hands.  The sentiment is from the same stamp set.  I cut a speech bubble shape for the MWAH!   The Be Mine banner is made using a die from MFT.  I cut it out in red and then again in pink to get the letters to piece in the banner.  I added white Baker's twine across the top.  

Please stop by and see all the fabulous cards by the Design Team.  There is so much inspiration!

We hope you will play along with us this week!
