Your TicTacToe Challenge cards

Good Sunday Morning Ladies,

I hope that you are all well and enjoying the weekend, it stayed dry here yesterday but was very dark and dreary and we had very strong gusty wind all day.

We didn't really need to go out anywhere so we stayed home and ended up doing a bit of Spring cleaning!  

Our sofa is an L shape corner suite made up of 5 large sections, Paul and I are the ones that

mostly sit in the lounge, mostly in the evening (if there is anything on TV), the girls will come and sit with us but are usually upstairs in either one of their rooms together, so (I will get to the point) as only two pieces of the sofa get sat on regularly I like to rotate the whole lot around so that it gets worn evenly, so that's what started our spring clean in the lounge, Paul moved furniture and I hoovered underneath and did skirting boards and hoovered ceiling/moulding to get rid of any cobwebs, I then spray a microfibre cloth with Febreeze and use that to wipe skirting boards and radiators down, it cleans and leaves a nice clean, fresh smell, I then add lenor Tumble Dryer sheets inside the larger cushions as that too gives a fresh smell, especially when you plump them up!

It was a really rewarding 45 mins to an hours work, as you really see and smell how much fresher the room was!

So from Spring Cleaning to Spring Cards, I really enjoyed this Challenge, it looks like you did too, your cards are amazing........

Brenda

Two Lovely cards for Brenda for this weeks TicTacToe Challenge, both completely different in style.

Card 1:  Yellow/Birthday/Die Cut

Card 2:  Flowers/Birthday/Die Cut

The first card was made using an EF from Hobbycraft (which I think will definitely be on my wish list) as I love the font of that embossed Happy Birthday. The Colours that Brenda has used are So Saffron and French Navy, the Tags are Poppy Stamps 'Pinpoint Main street' tags. Brenda has hand made the rose with the same ribbon as she used on the tag, its beautiful xxx

Brenda's second card was made using a pad called 'Neon' from Hobbycraft, SU Balloon Punch and a Wish Happy Birthday die. Bargain at £3!

That Neon pad is so lovely Brenda, initially I would have overlooked it because of the name but those colours are so pretty and very soft.

Love both of your designs Brenda.

Thank you so much for taking part XXX

Cheryl

Cheryl has used categories: Flowers/Ribbon/Die Cuts to create this absolutely gorgeous 'New Baby' card.

Janet

Janet has created 4 incredible cards for this weeks TicTacToe Challenge, I will add the categories used below:

Card 1: Flowers/Die Cut/Birthday

Card 2:  Birds/Circle/Masculine

Card 3:  Masculine/Twine/Die cuts

Card 4:  Birthday/Die cut/Masculine

Janet what an amazing collection of cards, the metal elements on card 3 are so realistic, the 'patina' on the metal is so clever, this would make an amazing journal cover too.

Karen

Karen used her new 'Julie Hickey' 'Floral Fancies' Stamp set to create this stunning card, I love the design, the flowers are lovely, the doodle like detail really makes the design pop. I also love how you have added the sentiment.
