Your TicTacToe Challenge cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

We had another warm one yesterday,  it was 36° when we picked the girls up, it was a bit of a shock to them,  they got off the plain wearing thick hoodies and jogging bottoms,  luckily I had rummaged in their bags and took them some shorts to change into.  It's lovely to have them with us🤭😂

So let's look at what you have been making this week....

EF not sure where from in cream matted onto brown

Wine bottles stamp from a magazine

Sentiment Aall & Create

I did a beer oriented one last year for a friend but still wanted to use alcohol as a theme.

Brilliant card, the wine bottles are a great alternative to beer,  see these magazine stamps we hoard do come in handy at some point! 🤣

Two brilliant and inspiring cards Karen,  thank you SO much for supporting the challenge XXX ❤️

Lilian's Description:

Hi, hope the girls arrive ok, I’m sure you will have a wonderful holiday.

Here is my card for this week , kept it simple due to sore fingers.

Categories I used : water colour , stamping, stencil.

Tim Holtz stamp, Parisian garden

 Indigo Blue stencil, Fleur De Lys

Ink is mermaid lagoon oxide

Water colour pencil, also mermaid lagoon.

Oh Lilian I hope your fingers are less sore today, you would never have known you were struggling with sore fingers by looking at your card.  I know I always say it but your colouring literally brings flowers to life,  I really love the colour too, the background is perfect too,  another amazing card. 

Thank you so very much my lovely,  I do hope that you got out in the garden yesterday 😊 XXX ❤️

Maria

Maria's Description:

Here is my card for Sunday. I had this piece of yellow green , the rest as lemon green card already so all I did was to use this old flower stamp and made a little vimple for the sentence. I have loads of these greetings and strips left so as I had forgotten them I used some on this card. Hope you like it and it's ok for Sunday.

Maria I don't 'like' it....I LOVE it,  firstly its green, so that's a box ticked, secondly its a silhouette card, I love your design and lay out.   Now those silhouette stamps look familiar for some reason,  I really like them, they are so detailed,  stamped perfectly too, which can be tricky with silhouette stamps!

Thank you so very much my lovely for creating an awesome card for the challenge XXX❤️

......................

I hope this uploads ok, its currently almost 1am, we lost power and water earlier,  there was a 30 second power outage that for some reason caused the water to go off too, it was across the whole resort, Paul thinks the power outtage must have tripped the water pump and it didn't reset.  Anyway it took the WiFi out too, so I was panicking that I wouldn't get the todays post done,  patience paid off though, we sat and watched choas take over for a few minutes,  the water was off for about an hour, the only inconvenience we had was soph had soaped her hands up ready to wash them,  they tried both of our sinks but there wasn't a drip, so they went off to the bathroom blocks on site,  which also had no water, the girls said there were ladies with hair fully shampoo'd with no way of rinsing off, now that would be a nightmare,  we have plenty of bottled water as we use it every day so we could use that.  It came back on after about an hour and 20 minutes, thankfully   being in this heat without the ability to shower would have been awful. 

The girls are hoping for a beach day today, fingers crossed thats what we'll do, 

I hope you all have a lovely Sunday,

Love and huge hugs to all,

Sandra xxx
