Pile It On #36 Tic Tac Toe

This week's Pile It On challenge is Tic Tac Toe.  It's a very fun and easy board and you don't have to worry about some one else getting their x's in the way of your o's.  Just pick your line and make your card.  Any three items in a row will do it, in whatever direction you choose.

For my card I choose the top row - Patterned Paper, Metal and For a Child.  My card also qualifies for the middle row going up and down.  The green library clip holding the sentiment is metal.  

Our sponsor this week is Simply Betty.   If you can relate to this phrase "there's a little "quirk" in all of us" then you will probably enjoy a shopping spree at Simply Betty.

My card uses "We Come In Peace".  Can you tell I've colored her skin in greys instead of fleshtones? Or that the whites of her eyes are green and her hair is stickles red?  Her offspring have stickles green eyes, there are shiney stars in the corners and light and dark blue bling are scattered around the background of the image panel.  This card is really much better looking in real life.  I wish you all could see it.  It's so nice I don't want to give it away but I know it'll make a little boy very happy.

Now it's your turn.  Pick your row. Make a card.  Find at least one other challenge to enter your card into and link it up.  We look forward to seeing it.

Dude

"Dude!"  that needs to be read in your best Valley Girl accent.  This dude is "Christian".  He's just one of the beach themed digital images available from Simply Betty.  Each one is cuter then the next.  We're showcasing them on the Cookin' It Up With Katie" challenge this week to use twine, water and a die cut. 

I'm so happy to use this image and think summery thoughts.  He's just fun to color.  And what perfect timing, the hostess at the retreat gave all the guests a supply of "Rusted Sun" papers and embellies which happen to have a surfing theme.

Well I have to run, sorry for the quick short post.  Please be sure to visit Katie's blog and the rest of the DT to see some more of Simply Betty's images - you're gonna love them.
