Tic Tac Toe at Incy Wincy Designs

This week's challenge at Incy Wincy Designs features a Tic Tac Toe board.  You can see the details of the challenge and the Tic Tac Toe board here.

I have created a card using Designated Driver from our sponsor Stitchy Bear Stamps.  I used all three papers, the image and one of the sentiments.  My Tic Tac Toe line is brads + 3 or more papers + ribbon.

As well as the Stitchy Bear products, I have used some bronze coloured metallic cardstock for matting, some sheer ribbon and some metal brads.

Summertime Santa

The start of another month means the start of another challenge at CHNC challenge Extra.

We are in the middle of a hot humid period of summer at the moment so I was inspired to create a Christmas card with more of a summery feeling.  Here in New Zealand, we celebrate Christmas in summer so this image is very appropriate.

I have used Tropical Santa - Tubing from Bugaboo Stamps.  I coloured him with copic markers.  The paper is from a Christmas paper pad.  I added some wide mesh ribbon, a snowflake cut from glitter cardstock using a Spellbinders die, some star shaped metal brads, a blue rhinestone and some pearls.

Winter Wonderland

Wow - where did January go!  We are now mid-way through the Winter Wonderland challenge at Scribbles Designs, so it is time for some more inspiration for you:

You can find more mid-way inspiration here. 

I have used a lightly patterned paper with an embossed feature on the lower part that sort of reminded me of snowflakes.  The image that I have used is from Scribbles Designs and is called Snow Capped Topiary.  The sentiment is from Desert Diva.  I added a few snowflakes cut from glitter cardstock using a Spellbinders die and some bling to represent some smaller falling snowflakes.

A traditionally coloured Valentines card this time.  I'm gradually getting back on top of everything after two weeks of no internet at home.  Hopefully I'll be able to join in a few more challenges this week!

A bit last minute with this progressive challenge this month - but at least I made it in time!

I have used a paper from a paper pad called "Key To My Heart" by Kaisercraft.  The tag is also from the same paper pad.  The sentiment is from Desert Diva.  The image is the progressive challenge image from Gerda Steiner and has been coloured with copic markers.  I added some ribbon through the ribbon slider (Spellbinders die) and some twine through the tag.

This image is so adorable and so fun to colour.

Go Team

Very last minute with this card for the progressive challenge at Imagine That.  Besides the major internet problems I have had for the past two weeks (now fixed thankfully), I had a real struggle with this one.  We don't have American Football in this country so it stumped me a bit.  I decided to go with the team shirt and the flag and my son's swimming team as inspiration.  The colours are his club colours and I used a water themed paper.
