Hello, crafting friends!
Welcome back to the Tic Tac Toe challenge! We're back with all our usual inspiration but we're giving you two weeks to join in with each board this year :) Design Team O launched the first board two weeks ago, and now it's Team X's turn to inspire you to create! I got the privilege of making the board this time and I hope you enjoy my suggestions :)
There are valentine rows and columns for those that love the Season of Lurve! But I've tried to make everything versatile enough for other occasions too - as shown by the bright and cheery birthday card I've made:
I started with my Altenew Layered Rose die set, cutting the flower and leaf layers out of left over white card. I used three shades of red for the roses, sponging them roughly to get more variation, and two shades of green for the leaves. Once they were dry, I assembled them with glue (I have double sided adhesive sheets on order!!) and set them aside.
The snippet of beautiful mustard-coloured paper was found deep in the designer paper drawer! I trimmed it to fit the width of a card base and cut the top diagonally. The flowers and leaves were arranged on the diagonal and glued in place. I finished with a sentiment from The Greetery's PreText Sentiments set stamped in mustard, joined with a cursive 'birthday' from a retired SU set.
Okay, it's your turn now! Here's how to play: First, hop over to the Tic Tac Toe challenge blog and admire all the amazing inspiration the design team has come up with. Second, choose a row or column from the board and create a card using the suggestions. Third, use the Linky Tool at the bottom of the post to share your card with us - we can't wait to see what you make!

AND IN OTHER NEWS
Such a lovely bright day today! Recently, I'd promised a friend a rug we've had stored away in the garage so I asked OH to help me get it out. It took half an hour of hard labour to locate the rug and heave it out, and afterwards, perspiring gently, we uttered those terrible words: "We really must have a clear out!" We stared at each other in horror until one of us came to our senses and said hurriedly: "When it gets a bit warmer!"
Your patterned paper is just perfect for your wonderful roses. Beautifully done and so pretty. Thanks for joining us at MMM, Johanna DT
