Happy Birthday | Karen Moss | Tic Tac Toe

Hello, hello Karen here, a little later than planned but that's another tale for another day!

This month our challenge was to make a project from the TicTacToe board below.

The idea is to choose a line of three either horizontal, vertical or diagonal.  I chose the horizontal middle line - arrow, circles and washi tape.

For my arrow element I used a font called Dreamland Arrows which is a Silhouette font.  I wrote my journaling, using my Silhouette machine, around the edge of the page.  

I punched circles of patterned paper to add to my tags and the doilies are circles too.

I added three strips of washi tape to each of my tags. 

I have a YouTube process video here if you would like to see how I made this layout. 

I hope you pop back soon to see what the other talented UK Scrap Addict ladies have made and hope you will join in with the challenge over on the UK Scrap Addicts Facebook Page. 

They do! | RamblingsofGeo | Tic-Tac-Toe

Hello,

Georgia here (Aka RamblingsofGeo) with my take on the Tic Tac Toe challenge for August.

I went for the central line of 'Arrows, Circles, and Washi' and decided to document my friends wedding in my SMASH book.

I covered 4 pages in total, i used stickers from the Amy Tangerine books for my Arrows which you can see on this page.

A pocket page on the right houses the invitation, and ceremony booklet . The pocket is a SMASH branded pocket bought from HobbyCraft awhile go. I stuck a photo over the pocket to decorate it and help it blend in to the layouts. On the left page i used a part of the cake box as my background, and the photo booth photo to document the evening!

I used their save the date as a flap to put part of their ceremony booklet in with  photo of them from their engagement shoot. You can see the stars and strips print which was paper from the burgers in the evening, i took a sheet and cut large circles out to use as my background.

You can see here the double page spread, the left is the Circles page, the right has my Arrows and a strip of pink washi tape is along the side of the photo as i felt it complemented the cupcake casing and flower petals.

 Check out the video on our UK Scrap Addicts youtube channel to see my construct the pages, and see how quickly they come together!

Summer Smiles | Lou Thompson | Tic Tac Toe

This months challenge was to use the Tic Tac Toe grid. You must take any line of 3 items from the grid, up, down or diagonal, and use these as part of your work. I have chosen the rainbows, circles and different alphas.

I thought about how I wanted to incorporate the circles and remembered these lovely wooden circles I had. I also came up with the idea of decorating the circles using papers with the colours of the rainbow. I used a circle punch to make the paper shapes and then applied to the wooden circles using double sided tape.

I wanted to further the idea of using circles so also used a Finnabair stamp set to add some more circles to my background

A selection of alphas were used to create the title for this layout

A cluster was created in the bottom right corner using ephemera, stickers, chipboards and flowers.

The wooden circles were stuck to the page to create a base for the photo. The photo was matted with some different coloured papers and then stuck to the page, careful not to stick right to the edge of the photo mat. This was so I could then tuck in stickers, chipboards, acetate, enamels and ephemera. Foam squares were applied to some pieces to add further dimension.

And here is the finished piece. I'm really pleased with how it turned out. It's a really fun, summer piece that works great with the photo. I hope you like it and see you again next month :)
