Hello, my crafty friends…….. It feel like it’s been forever since I’ve sat down and really had an opportunity to create. It felt good to just play. I moved a couple of months ago and it seem as though things were in a disarray including me.. (lol) so this past weekend I did nothing but play. My new craft space is called the Loft-A-Mania it’s cute and cozy.
Well my friends it’s Tic Tac Toe Thursday and for my design this week I knew I wanted to create off the bottom row across (Sequins, Watercolor, Square) I know it says square you’ve had one of those moments where you finished the design and you look at the challenge and realize Oop’s yeah! that’s what I said.
I wanted to do some ink smooshing so I took a few distress inks (Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral) and smooshed onto a 4×5.25 panel of Strathmore Watercolor paper. I love how this background turned out… I die cut the SSS Clipping Hearts die out of the smooshed panel and inlay the hearts into the panel and popped some of the hearts with foam dots for dimension.
The love sentiment was die cut with the SSS Love die out of Stampin Up Gold Foil paper. I stamped the Sending You sentiment with the SSS Love stamp onto Basic Black cardstock with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with SSS Fine Gold (EP).
To finish off my design I added a few Lucy’s Little Things True Love sequins and adhered the panel onto an A2 Top Fold Neenah Solar White Card base. I hope you’ll join in the fun this week and while your at it you should check out the rest of the Design Team.
Crafty Supplies:
Paper: Strathmore Watercolor, Neenah Solar White (80lb), Basic Black cardstock
Stamp: SSS Love stamp
Ink: Ranger Distress (Picked Raspberry, Festive Berries, Abandoned Coral), VersaMark

Happy New Year! Welcome back to the first challenge in the New Year over at Tic Tac Toe Challenge. This week I’m the Featured Designer and my design is all about winter and two cute Polar Bears that are madly in love.
For my design this week I stamped one of the Sunny Studios Playful Polar Bears stamp onto the Neat & Tangled Backdrops stamp and copied it onto X-Press It Blending card. I took another image and stamped and colored both with various Copic Markers. I cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut. I wanted the love birds to look like they were on a snow bank under a snowy night. I blended several Distress Inks for my night sky and then used my Carta Bella Christmas Sky Stencil and heat embossed with the Stampendous Detail White (EP). The sky just looks like it’s glistening……..
To finish my card I die cut a hill from the Lawn Fawn Stitched Border and blended a little distress ink on top to match the background panel. I adhered the hill and the Playful Polar Bears onto an A2 side fold MFT Grout Gray card base. Thank you for stopping bye… please head on over and check out the rest of the Design Team.

“Inky hugs”

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.

Paper: Neenah Solar White (80lb), Black Licorice, X-Press It Blending, Bristol Watercolor
Stamp: Waffle Flower Boo
