TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE - #TTTC181 GIVING THANKS

Happy Thursday! 

I'm back with a second card for the day...this one is for the new Tic Tac Toe Challenge - #TTTC181.

Here is this weeks #TTTC181 inspiration board...

My card features the top row across - LEAVES, RIBBON AND AUTUMN COLORS.

Once again I dug out some older stamp sets....the background was stamp with the retired PTI - Text & Texture: Leaves Set. The leaves are from the PTI - Lovely Leaves Set along with the matching dies. I also mixed in leaves from the retired PTI - Leaf Prints Set & Dies. The sentiment from the PTI - Giving Thanks Mini Set. I embellished the card with some matching Ribbon below the sentiment and add the Silver Pearls at the end.

TIC TAC TOE CHALLENGE - TTTC177 GET WELL SOON

Happy 1st of September!!!

Can't believe it, but here we are....my girls are finally back in school - Miriam is a HS Senior and Rebecca is a College Senior this year! We have a few more month and then both of my girls are starting a new life away from home....can't even fathom this thought yet!

Anyways, I finally had a chance to sit down and craft a card again...this on is for this weeks Tic Tac Toe Challenge - TTTC177....

Here is this weeks TTTC177 board....

I chose the center column down - RED, LEAVES/TREE AND CAS.

After straightening out my messy craft room I came across one of my all time favorite Stampin' Up Set called "Branch Out"...I knew it would be perfect for this challenge today!!! For the "red" element I used PTI - Pure Poppy and Scarlet Jewel. I've kept my card clean and simple as required and added the "Get Well Soon" sentiment right below.
