Our TicTacToe projects

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

We had a very busy day in the garden yesterday,  Paul emptied the baskets by front door and refreshed the soil and planted my Trailing Pansies, I will photograph them when the have settled in, the always look sad when they are newly planted,  we tidied the other beds at the front and then I wanted to go and check my sweet potatoes, well I guess we have to have some failures,  the ones we dug up are more like Sweet Potato fingers! 😔🤣,  I think it was due to two things, there were two tomato plants that self seeded in the same pot and they got really big,  they may have starved the sweet potatoes of nutrients and maybe water with us having such a hot summer.  We will learn and try again next year,  the Girls bought Paul an irrigation system for his birthday so that might help.  We harvested the last of the beans and almost two pounds of Yellow cherry tomatoes, I don't know what to do with them though, I usually make tomato sauce for pasta etc for the freezer and tomato soup but because they are Yellow I don't think they will look appetising,  I could mix in red peppers or something to give the red colour maybe.  They are a total bonus as they had just grown from seeds from tomatoes that we composted.   By about 4pm I literally couldn't put one foot in front of the other without extreme pain so I called it a day, I guess tomorrow will be fun ! 🙄 on the bright side I could sit at my craft desk and play. 😁

Let's have a look at what you have made this week:

Hi, here is my page for this week,

 Tic tac toe categories:

Journal page, ephemera & Colouring 

The paper & die cuts & Ephemera are Stamperia Silent sea collection. 

Lilian what an incredible nautical themed page, I love that lighthouse,  it looks like its stood the test of time,   everything works so well together with those shells being a perfect embellishment.  That drywall lining tape makes great fishing net!! 

Thank you so much for creating this lovely journal page for our Challenge. XXX

Here’s a couple of bits for the challenge My versions of Thrinchie 17 & 18

Autumn/inks/journal page

And a birthday card for my (male) cousin

Leaves (on the background paper)/autumn colours/sparkle & shine - gold card and splatters

I love your Thrinchies Karen,  the autumnal colours work so well, is this the one where you use the lid of Distress ink pad to create the coloured square?  Your version works so well, especially that stamp at the bottom (that looks like  protractor) 🤣

The background to your cousins card is amazing,  with the script, text and the leaves,  your colour combination is genius that blue really lifts it.   The splatters just work for everthing, perfect finishing touch! 

I really appreciate you creating for this challenge my lovely,  you have had a busy week.  Thank you so much XXX

Sonia's Description:

Here’s my card

Christmas/Die cuts/Sparkle

I stamped the Magnolia Stamps ‘Snowflake Circle’ in Lost Shadow distress oxide ink. The ‘Snow Crystal Flowers’ from John Next Door were cut in vellum and silver card. The Stampin Up sentiment inked in Lost Shadow. I added Honey Bee Stamps ‘Aurora Borealis’ gems to the flowers and snowflake circle.

Oh Sonia your Christmas card is Clean & Simple perfection!! I love that snowflake circle stamp, the SU sentiment fits perfectly in size & sentiment!  But oh those Snow Crystal flowers are the star of the show, layering silver over the vellum was a touch of genius, those little gems are the perfect finishing touch! 

Thank you so much my lovely for creating a card for the challenge XXX
