Happy Sunday, peeps! It's my turn to host the Paper Players and this week, it's a Tic-Tac-Toe! Wheee! So many options! Here's the grid:
For my card, I chose the left column: red, Santa, and diecut, but it also fulfills the top row across, which is red, glitter and snowflakes! I chose to make a little scene:
I used the Hearth & Home die along with Lawn Fawn's Stitched Hillsides to create my scene. My sentiment is from Cosmo Cricket; I sponged the "siding" on the Crumb Cake card, added a red window frame, complete with a gingham curtain, snow in the corners and heaps on snow at the top and bottom:
And ho, ho, ho, who is that we see inside?
Jolly Saint Nick himself (Katy Sue's Silhouette Santas), placing a gift under a Lovely as a Tree Christmas tree! They're stamped on Always Artichoke, which for some reason, is difficult for me to photograph! The sentiment is from Amy R Stamps' Handy Christmas Greetings. I added a few stamped snowflakes on the outside; the "snow" glitter is from Martha Stewart!
Now, I hope you'll find some inspiration in my tac-tac-toe board and play along with us! Check out the amazing samples from the DT:
Cassidy got another Halloween card in the mail; this one was from my very first Stampin' Up! customer, Maryanne! She loves funny cards, especially interactive ones, and this one did not disappoint! It featured a little scene with three spooky characters that move along the bottom of the card when you pull the ribbon:
She loved the vampire-looking dude the best!
And check out the cool stuff she put on the spiderweb inside! Neat!
Hope you have a wonderful day full of blessings!
Oh my goodness I just love this LeAnne! I almost missed the Santa at first glance, because I was too busy ooh-ing and aah-ing over that red window and gingham curtain amidst the snow drifts, then I saw him - how fabulous! I love your sponged clapper board house too, so effective! I had so much fun with your board this week - and adore your fab Christmas card! Way to rock your challenge, my friend!

ReplyDeleteLeAnne - putting Santa in the window is genius! I love the little touches of snow, especially with the gingham blind! Fabulous - and such a great tic-tac-toe challenge. I love the card that Cassidy received for Halloween, too. Thank you for sharing
