Your Challenge cards

 

Good Sunday Morning Ladies, 

An early start today as girls are off to work and I want to make sure Paul gets his breakfast in bed before they go, they can manage themselves but I know they will be rushing so I will give them some support, plus they just don't make tea like Paul and I do, they can make the most amazing coffee, any kind you like but tea takes patience I think.  So today I will be doing my best to ensure Paul had a relaxing day, he will want to treat it as though it's any other day I expect,  I have some bits to do a little afternoon tea,  the girls are working,  Becca is away and Matt is helping a friend today.  We had Harley for the day yesterday while Matt & Alex had a rare day off together, it was lovely spending some time with him, we took him for a long walk which really tired him out, I look forward to babysitting my Grandchildren rather than Grand-dogs, but you have to take what you're given I guess!!

Let's have a look at your TicTacToe Challenge cards....

Here are my challenge cards
First one is masculine/circles/embossing. I’ve used a LOTV simply print digital image and the circular sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.
My second card is masculine/stripes/die cuts (and embossing). I die cut the ‘You’ sentiment by Sugar Pea Designs. I embossed with Speckled Egg embossing glaze, as well as the die cut stars. The striped backing paper is from Blissful Teal by Anna Marie. This card also fits our next challenge, so I hope it inspires.
