Welcome…. My crafty friends to another week of Tic Tac Toe Challenge! Can you hear me say this in my pretend Vincent Price voice! This week our board was created by Peggy Noe. You should head on over join in the fun and while your there check out the amazing designs the Design Team created this week.
This week I decided to use the elements on the board that are in the top right row diagonal down (Oval, Free, Die Cut) to create a Halloween scene for my design this week. I die cut a piece of Black Licorice card with the Avery Elle Wonky Stitches Die. The oval was cut out with the MFT Cross Stich Oval Die-Namics. The images from The Waffle Flower Boo set was stamped onto X-Press It Blending card with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with various Copic markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.
I used a scrap piece of Bristol Watercolor paper and blended Stormy Sky, Wilted Violet, Black Soot Distress inks onto the paper and spritzed it with water. I masked out the moon with a small circle drawn onto a post-it-note. When the panel was dry I stamped the spider hanging down onto the panel. The sentiment was stamped with Hero Arts Unicorn White Pigment ink.
To finish my card I adhered the blended panel to the Wonky Stitched panel I then adhered it onto a Neenah Solar White A2 Top Fold card base. The Bear image was strategically placed at the bottom of the panel to look as though he’s flying by on his wonky witchy broom……… A few bats were added randomly.

Welcone to this week’s Merry Monday Challenge! Things are heating up this week here in So. Cal it’s suppose to hit 100 around here crazy weather!!! This week, Linda S. has challenged us to add a present to our cards…….. I decided to have the cute little Beary Merry Bear from Neat and Tangled deliver some presents to you!!!

For my card this week I stamped several of the images from the Beary Merry stamp set onto XPress It blending card and colored it with various copic markers. I then die cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I stamped the bear onto a piece of MME Comfort & Joy (6×6) paper and cut out the scarf and paper pierced it onto the bear. This paper pack is no longer available.
I cut another piece of the plaid design from the paper pack and adhered it onto a (5.50×4.25) card base. I die cut a panel of Neenah Solar White card with one of the SSS Stitched Rectangle Wafer dies and ink blended Salty Ocean and Stormy Sky Distress Inks for the sky and splattered some Copic Opaque White for the falling snow. A Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside die was used to give me a snow slope… I blended a little of the Salty Ocean and Stormy Sky onto the top of the slope.
To finish off my card I adhered the Beary Merry Bear on top of the slope and placed the presents in his arms and around him. The SSS Gifts of Love greeting was stamped with Ranger Archival Ink on the bottom of the snow slope.
I hope you like my take on this weeks challenge. Thank you for stopping by!

For my card I die cut a piece of Black Licorice cardstock with the MFT Die-namics Rectangle Stax set 1 dies and used the border as a frame. I then cut a 4×5.25 piece of plaid pattern paper from the Paper Studio 12 Days of Christmas 8×8 paper pad that I picked up from Hobby Lobby yesterday. I also die cut a piece of X-Press It Blending Card with the SSS Stitched Rectangle die. I stamped the ornament image form the Penny Black Most Wonderful stamp set onto the Xpress- It paper and Copic colored with various copic markers.
To finish my card I adhered the frame and plaid patterned paper onto an A2 size Neenah card base. A few Nuvo Crystal drops in Gloss Berry Red were added randomly onto the art panel.

It’s Merry Monday... my crafty friends! This week Debbie has challenged us to create a Christmas card from the sketch below. For my take on the sketch I went patterned paper and plenty of layers.
For my card I pulled out a 12×12 Simple Stories Claus & Co. Collection. I mounted the string lights pattern onto a Neenah Solar White Top-Fold card base. I adhered the ho,ho,ho journal card with a slight offset onto a Neenah panel. I die-cut the stars with the MFT Stars, Moon Die-namics and placed them on the corner of the journal card. To finish off my card I added a few Nuvo Crystal Drops in Bottle Green.

Welcome to this week’s Merry Monday challenge! This week, Deanne challenged us to add a tree to our cards. I went with a Charlie Brown Christmas theme. You can head over to the challenge HERE and check out the beautiful designs created by the rest of the Design Team.
For my card this week, I stamped the Mama Elephant O Tiny Tree image onto Ranger watercolor paper with Ranger Distress inks in Gathered Twigs, Shabby Shutters, Forest Moss. I then used a Pental watercolor brush to give the image a slight watercolored look. I stamped the Christmas ornament with Memento Tuxedo black ink and Copic colored it with (R46) added some shimmer with a Sakura Glitter Pen. I die cut the watercolor panel and a (4.25×5.25) sheet of patterned paper from an old Authentique Retro Christmas 6×6 paper pad with the SSS Stitched Rectangle dies.
To finish my card I blended some Gathered Twig Distress ink around the edges to give it a lonely vintage look (You remember that lonely tree on Charlie Brown Christmas) and to forgo adding a sentiment. I adhered both panels onto a (SU) Wild Wasabi A2 Top Fold card base. Thanks for stopping by………
