Home is where the heart is

Hello, crafting friends!
 
It's Thursday and time for another Tic Toe Toe challenge board bursting with inspiration! The board is in the capable hands of Joanne this week and it came at a great time for me :)
 

I chose the top row Heart/House/Die Cut and made a card for my youngest son who, having graduated, has moved into a new house with a group of good friends he was lucky enough to meet in his first few weeks of uni. 
 

The medallion was made by layering up stitched circles in various colours, the central one edged with a Lawn Fawn cloud border die. The resulting background was topped with a die cut house from X Cut which was cut twice more from snippets of coloured card so that I could inlayy the windows and the little heart.

I cut a panel with a stitched rectangle die from Heffy Doodle and stamped a sentiment from The Greetery's PreText Sentiments and WPlus9's New Home, leaving enough space to glue the medallion between them. To link the green part to the bold black words, I used a fascia image stamp from New Home - and then capered about feeling very pleased with myself!!

So, now it's your turn to get creative with Joanne's board - so many options! Do hop over to the Tic Tac Toe challenge site and admire the sample the team has made to inspire you. When you are ready to share your own creation, you can use the Linky Tool you'll find at the bottom of the post. We can't wait to see what you make!

CHALLENGES
I'm linking this card up at Happy Little Stampers Anything Goes with Dies challenge; I'm also joining in at the Die Cuts and/or Stencils challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More

 
AND IN OTHER NEWS
Perhaps I should send my son a nice rug for his new home. How about this one I found just lying around the house...
 

Oh, wait!

Sending hugs,

  6. Hi Vicky! It has been too long since I stopped for a visit. I saw your card at Tic Tac Toe today, and I just had to come over. I love your card, and coincidentally, I just posted a card recently that I made for my son who just graduated from college and moved in with some good friends. I love your card, and I love your comment about the rug you found lying around your house... adorable. I hope you are well. Sending hugs. Stephanie
