Tic Tac Toe. . . Let's Have Some Fun!


Good morning everyone. Julia here to share the February challenge at Our Creative Corner. I've decided to go for a Tic Tac Toe grid which gives lots of scope for inspiration! Here's the grid and challenge brief for you:


For this challenge please:
  • choose one line from the grid shown. This can be a horizontal, vertical or diagonal line but you must select the middle square as one of your choices. 
  • What you make is your choice but please ensure that the three items you have chosen are clearly visible on your make. 
  • Please state in your post which line you have chosen. 
  • Inks, stains, sprays etc can be used as necessary on your project.
Please  read through our rules - we only have a few but it's best to be clear about everything.

 Now let's have a look at the wonderful inspiration provided for you by the Design Team:



I've used the line: Die cuts, Stamps & embossing folders (inside my box). This is a little pewter effect gift box ideal for Valentines Day or any other special occasion.

I chose the Metal, Stamps and Paste Medium and created a gratitude journal cover.
 I used 2 different kinds of paste medium to create the textural effects.

 **************************************

I chose: paint, stamp and stencil for this fun challenge. I'm trying new color combos 
I have not used before and I'm enjoying the outcome.

 **************************************

This was not a very easy game of Tic-Tac-Toe to play - there were so many fun choices!
 I finally made my creative Tic-Tac-Toe move horizontally with: Paints, Stamps & Stencils to create the first page of my very first art journal!
  
 **************************************


I chose: Embossing Powder, Stamping, Lace and Twine from the grid. I made a Heart Shadow Box to give to my Husband on St. Valentine's Day in February.
 ************************************** 


I loved Julia's challenge and could happily have chosen every segment of her grid, - but that's not the challenge of course, so in the end I chose: the horizontal middle column of Paints, Stamps & Stencils and made this canvas board that in time will be turned into a cover of a journal.

 **************************************


I chose Paints, Stamps and Stencils for this Photoframe in vintage style.

**************************************



Choosing between vertical and horizontal line I finally decided to use a diagonal line: Lace, Twine, Ribbon etc; Stamps & Embossing Powders.....I made a mixed media tag, stamped and an embossed pear rounded with twine. Hope you get some inspiration.

**************************************


I chose Paints, Stamps and Stencils for this card which celebrates painting, to be sent for a birthday  this month.

 **************************************

I chose crackle paint, metal and stamps and created this hanging 
in gorgeous rusty colours. 

 **************************************

 I chose Paints, Stamps and Stencils to create this wall hanging for my craft room. A little spring and a little bling to brighten up my space.

    I have got to agree with Julia's comment above...these are some of the finest creations I've seen as a group from the Design Team! Really just wonderful projects! I can't wait to have a look at each close up on the blogs. For now, I was able to link up something I just made this weekend, which happened to have a majority of the tic tac toe squares! Let's see what else I can do after a long hard look at the inspiration here! Fun Challenge, Julia!
