Tic-Tac-Toe

TGIF!!!!

It's also Blogger's Challenge today and why not start the weekend off with a little game.  How about Tic-Tac-Toe?  Join us today in getting a tic-tac-toe on the board using those elements either across or diagonal on your creation.

I took the very easy tic-tac-toe today as I've been majorly procrastinating on my stamping these days.  I went diagonally from top left to bottom right using Embossing, Pattern Paper and Ribbon/Seam Binding on my card.  I know you are looking at this thinking I didn't use any type of patterned paper, but I did...it's double sided and the side I used already had a little texture to it, so I just embossed with my cuttle bug using the argyle folder.

I purposely left a sentiment off this card and hand wrote in "Happy Birthday" on the tag on the gift.  

Hope you will join us this week for blogger's challenge and get a "tic-tac-toe".

Happy Birthday with Rosie-Blogger's Challenge

Blogger's Challenge Friday with one of my favorite themes- a sketch challenge.  Although I would love to say this card came easy for me, I was doing it in bits and pieces and kept on changing some things.

I colored this image from Lili of the Valley months ago and had it sitting on my stack of things to put together.  I loved the colors and they worked perfectly with the new Play Date Cafe Challenge this week.  I had to alter one of my colors to make it a little bit darker on my image but think it turned out great.  I wanted to use some of the new lattice rectangles  that I recently added to my spellbinders collection, they worked out great for the 2 rectangles in the sketch.

I ran my creamsicle cardigan paper through the cuttle bug with the Swiss dots folder to give it some more dimension against the lattice rectangles.  I decided to put some Lilac twine from The Twinery on the rectangles, some stickles on the stars and the candle.  At the last minute I added some 3D Crystal Lacquer onto the cake icing.

The two opposite sides looked a little bare so I included a sentiment and on the side opposite put some orange creative candy.
