Sherry Roth is our Creative Design Team Member who designed this theme for us.
Sherry has the most classic style of creating Clean and Simple beautiful layouts, no matter the theme Sherry is a master at scrapbooking <3

So Tic Tac Toe Boards are a FUN way to incorporate a couple of different elements 
on your scrapbooking layout to give yourself a challenge.

I thoroughly enjoyed every aspect of this month's challenge, I actually chose to do 2 of the 
challenge lines and incorporate it into one layout...
Firstly I chose top to bottom on the left and then Diagonally from top right to bottom left.

I used the CTMH Scrapbooking Kit as my base of the layout...
Which was 2 pieces of torn Green DSP.
Then I splattered it with Basic Black Blends.

I added 3 photos this was when I decided that I could include twine as well and then I would have covered 2 lines from the Tic Tac Toe board.

I had the leftover strips from which I had torn off the side of the DSP so I decided to roll
them and add them to the layout... I couldn't get my string to sit how I wanted it to BUT it
is on the page none the less.

I double mounted the banner

These blooms were just so beautiful and I couldn't just use one colour
with the variety of colours in Kirrily's dress.

Some more of the details of the rolled torn paper.
And last BUT not least the entire layout...these photos were from our Son's Wedding

Up Next Maz Wood this is her first time joining the hop, make sure you give her a shout out.

I hope that you enjoy all the different layouts that have been created today.

We will be back again NEXT Month on 19th  Dec with a challenge for you.

Colour INKspiration #177 - Winterly Treetops - Reverse Easel Card

 

Sneak Peak

Hello my name is Sharon Dalton, aka CreativeMe68,

I am an Independent Stampin' Up! Demonstrator located in Gogango, Queensland.
I have my own studio - Studio Shabaz and I pretty much craft all day, everyday!!
I teach classes both in my Studio and at Early Birds Cafe Spencer Street Rockhampton.
I also teach private classes both in your home or local hall.

Welcome to Colour INKspiration Challenge #177, just such a gorgeous combination of colours <3
See photo inspiration here

Colour InKspiration #CI177 is a Christmas theme, BUT I thought instead of Christmas baubles that I would create something different.  So I drew inspiration from a card
that I created in July.

This card is a reverse easel card. Instead of the easel part sitting into the card it folds upwards.  AND the panel in the middle of the card sits against the layered front panel.

Stampin' Blends - Light Melon Mambo, Dark Gray Granite, Dark and Light Pretty Peacock
Dark and Light Crumb Cake, Dark and Light Blueberry Bushel, Light Lost Lagoon.
Stampin' Blends Colour Lifter.

Regal Foiled Adhesive Backed Dots 

How I created the Pine leaves frame is by simply only die cutting on the Pretty Peacock
Cardstock so far in the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine then moving the die along the cardstock to extend the length of the frame.  Then by die cutting from
the other end and that way I can make the frame any size I like.

I am not much of a colouring expert, BUT after 3 failed attempts at different coloured birds
I resorted to sticking to one colour - Melon Mambo Blends with some darker patches.
I am ok to colour smaller sections that don't need a lot of defination like the tree branch and the leaves and blue berries.

This card still lays flat so that it can fit in a regular envelope.

Let's Craft Together - Christmas Colour Challenge

Thank you for joining us for this month’s Let’s Craft Together blog hop. We are a group of
multi-cultural Stampin’ Up!® demonstrators in Australia who have developed a strong friendship though our love of stamping and our admiration of each other’s style of crafting.

Look at the Beautiful inspiration from Monique Fielder

Creating a fancy fold card with this colour palette was an easy task for me
as it has some of my favourite colours right there - Pretty Peacock and Moody Mauve.
This card is a quick slider card to reveal the hidden panel inside created by Ronda Wade.

Pairing two of the Christmas Stamp sets - Hang An Ornament and Peaceful Season

 that I have been using a lot from this catalogue allowed me to create a quick card
for an early Christmas celebration and this card was just perfect for the occasion.

Keeping it simple and adding some BLING (Wink Of Stella) in all the right places

It is really hard for you to see all the Bling, BUT believe me it is there.
Cherry Cobbler Glimmer Paper on the Holly, Bauble as well as behind the Christmas word.
Wink of Stella on the Holly Leaves and splattered all over the card front

Each month, one of us takes turn to set a blog hop challenge,
where we share our creativity with others through our blog hops.
Be sure to hop along to them all, for lots of creative inspiration.
You may have joined me from Monique Fielder
