Stamping Smiles Designs GD!

Greetings, Friends and Challenge Lovers!

I hope things are going well for you as you crest the wave of this week!

I'm surfing in to happily share that I am one of the Guest Designers for Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge! This is only the third challenge for this fun new place to play and I hope you will be able to join us!

As always, there is a Tic-Tac-Toe board for you to choose from. In addition, there is a sketch option so you have guidance galore!

I've made two cards to inspire you!

First, I made a card I think is gender neutral. You wouldn’t have to make it the size of a business envelope, but guys might like the size of it!

As you can see I used the awesome sketch for my design and this card was also inspired by row one across on the Tic-Tac-Toe board: love, shimmer, and hearts. 

The shimmer is from the red foil paper from Stampin' Up. In fact, all the papers used for this card are from Stampin' Up. The word "Sending" is from Simon Says Stamp and the words "you" and "love" are from Winnie & Walter.

My second card is an always-fun interactive shaker card:

This time I used row three down for my design: hearts, confetti, and sketch. The diagonal hearts are actually strips of heart Washi tape. The double-stitched rectangle frames were made with Lil' Inker dies. The sediment is from Hero Arts.

I hope my cards have inspired you to play along! I want to thank Ka for the honor of asking me to be the Guest Designer for this Third Challenge! I can't wait to see what you create and BTW, you'll have the chance to win one of these stamp sets!! You can link your card here.

I'm going to sneak in one more Valentine:

Hmm. Are you thinking that's an odd choice of focus pocus for a Valentine? Well, wait. Here's a closeup:

Now do you see hearts, organically speaking? Don't groan. I AM that coo-coo, but your groans will change to romantic sighs when I tell you that I made it for my friend to give to her cardiologist husband. Aw.

You see, every time you think I've gone round the bend, I fool you!

The die is from Memory Box and it's called "Quinn Flourish." It really is beautiful and it will be posted on the GIVEAWAYS page sometime today.

Enjoy your day! No, seriously, enjoy! LITS!*

As always, thank you for coming by to visit the Playhouse and special thanks to you if you take the time to join as a follower! Please let me know you came by, so I can be sure and return the flavor!

*Life is too short!
