Tic Tac Toe, Design Team Call & Happy New Year!

Good Afternoon Blogland

Happy New Year!

I haven't been around for a while mainly because of Christmas and a painful sore back that I have been suffering (I think from lifting a small child about).

Am feeling better now though, so have managed to get some crafting done.

Over at The Crazy Challenge this week we are playing Tic Tac Toe (Noughts and Crosses to us UK folk). You have to use 3 elements,like winning a line of Tic Tac Toe. This is the grid:

and we are sponsored this week by the wonderful Digi Doodles. You have the chance to win a $10 gift certificate to spend in their store.

This is the bookmark that I made for Tic Tac Toe, I used Ribbon, Image and Gems.

We're also having a Design Team call over at The Crazy Challenge as we are looking for some new team members, so be sure to pop over to the blog and read all about it

Thanks for looking

A Couple of New Blogs

Morning from a very windy West Coast of Scotland. Thought I was going to wake up to carnage, listening to the wind last night, but outside looks as if it is still in one piece, so that can only be a good thing. Sun is now trying its best to spirit away all this wild weather - bless it LOL.

There are a couple of new blogs on the go that I have been asked to DT for. The first is ATCs with Attitude. I have a vast collection of these little treasures and they are fun to make as well as a good way of getting rid of all your scrap card making bits n bobs. Pop on over to ATCs with Attitude to find out more.

The next is Fat Pages with Attitude. Fat pages are 4"x 4" creations of art, that you can either use to create a little album of art or I have been know to use a couple as card toppers from time to time. Pop over here for more info on this blog and to have a go. This is my Fat Page for the first challenge, using a Kenny K digi:

There are some great sponsors over on these blogs including Kenny K, MelJens, Dezina World, Delicious Doodles and Stitchy Bear, so come on. If you've never tried these crafts before here's your chance and you could win a lovely prize just for trying out a new craft.

I'll be back later with a couple of things that I'm off to finish just now.

See ya later

Isn't she a sexy witch. When I was making the card Ross (4) said 'look mum it's you!' I wish I looked that good, but hey my 4 year old thinks so LOL.

This is a close up of the witch. I made her into a slider card so that she really flies on her broom.
