Tic Tac Toe Challenge #117

 Hello Friends!  It's time for a new Tic Tac Toe Challenge and this one brings on the sunshine:

I played on the diagonal with Die Cut, Friend, and Yellow:

The watercolored floral image is Freshly Picked Bouquet from MFT.  The sentiment is from Simon Says Stamp.  All are popped up onto an alcohol ink background on vellum and layered on a white card base.  A few SU Artistic Blooms finished off this card.

We hope you'll play along this week ~ thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Annie

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #115

 Hello Friends! Time for another fun board over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

My card today uses the first row down: Dad/Father Image, Blue, and Die Cut.

On a Stampin' Up Misty Moonlight card base, I layered a grid embossed piece of Misty Moonlight before adding DSP from Stampin' Up's Plaid Tidings.  The amazing Hats Off stamp set and Hat Builder dies from Stampin' Up really make the hat look 3D!  I know I'll get a lot of use from this set for great guy cards.  

We sure hope you'll play along with us this week!  Thanks for stopping by and taking a look 😊.

Hugs,

Annie

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #113

 Hello Friends!  Time for a new board over at the Tic Tac Toe Challenge:

I struggled with this one a bit!  I finally worked with the First Row on the Diagonal: Rainbow, Stickers, and CAS.

I rarely use stickers nor do I have very many but the April Paper Pumpkin kit came to the rescue!  The sun and cute rainbow popsicle saved the day along with the sentiment that comes in the kit.  I drew a little whimsical frame around the card front for interest and done...easy peasey!

Thanks for stopping by.  I hope you'll play along with us this week!

Hugs,

Annie

The Paper Players #538: Claire's Sketch Challenge

 Hi Friends! This week is a sketch challenge over at The Paper Players:

I think sketch challenges are one of my favorites because they give you such a great starting point (especially if you're missing your mojo)!

I had these cute little die cuts that I had stamped, colored, and die cut but they were missing a home.  This sketch was a perfect way to showcase them 😉

Here's the products I used:

• Ellen Hutson 'Just Squidding' Stamps & Dies
• Stampin' Up Blends
• Hero Arts Wave Die
• Doodlebug Design DSP from 'Anchors Aweigh'

Thanks for stopping by ~ Have a great week!

Hugs,

Annie

Tic Tac Toe Challenge #109

 Hi Friends! Time for a new Tic Tac Toe Challenge board:

I used the 2nd Row Down for my card today: Pink, Baby Theme, and Polka Dots. Perfect for a baby card that I happily needed!

It was a chance to use one of my favorite die sets called 'Bundle of Baby Clothes' from MFT. I die cut the clothes from Waffle Flowers' Polka Dot bright pink card stock. The petite gingham DSP is also from MFT, along with the sentiment from their 'Welcome Baby' stamp set.  The sentiment was stamped with Stampin' Up's Melon Mambo ink and Memento Tuxedo Black, then die cut with Stampin' Up's 'Stitched So Sweetly' dies. I just love those cute little clothes!

We hope you'll play along this week ~ thanks for stopping by!

Hugs,

Annie
