Today | Tic Tac Toe | Elaine King

Good morning all

Today I am delighted to bring you a layout featuring our monthly Tic Tac Toe challenge card here





To start with I cut the black circle background paper that I first obtained as a free cut file from the UK Scrappers 
forum. They hold a wealth of free files for your own use so why not pop in for a look to see what's available?

I then chose my photo and selected a collection of papers that included black in. I came across this Simple 
Stories, Bliss collection,  that I bought from Craft4Eternity as a monthly page kit. 

I cut a selection of three strips from the Enjoy the Ride sheet and Remember to Shine page too. I then punched 
several 1 & 1/4" circles and placed these in a circle around the edge of the placement of the photo. I then 
mounted this on co-ordinating card-stock and mounted this on foam pads on top of the circle of circles to 
give dimension. I then drew some 'stitches' on all the papers too. 




To embellish I used several flowers from my stash and a journalling card along with some stickers from the 
Bliss sticker sheet and a chipboard butterfly and bird from the same collection.



The Today title was made using a sticker and then mounted on a piece of yellow paper scrap which I then fussy 
cut around.

The little flair badge was for a collection that I bought from Lottie Loves Paper. I added some strips of washi tape 
in co-ordinating colours and the pink arrows were cut using my Silhouette Cameo.

I hope you like what you see.. don't forget to pop over to the shops mentioned above. ..they hold such lovely pretty 
things to stroke!!! Lol
