WWC62 - Leanne's Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge

Leanne is new to the design team and she has come up with a fun Tic Tac Toe challenge for this week.

I went diagonal from the top left corner (I just noticed that I also did the center column). I used 3 stamp sets for this card.
"Butterfly Basics", "Number of Years" & a hostess set called "Best Thoughts"

Check out what the artists at http://watercoolerchallenges.blogspot.ca/ have created  and go ahead and play Tic Tac Toe with us and link your project to our challenge.

Wacky Watercooler Blog Hop

Thanks for joining us on this month's hop! 

Our Blog Hop runs in a circular fashion.  No matter where you begin, you'll wind up back in the exact same place again if you keep going to the "next" blog.  It works the same way whether you do the usual forward through the blog posts or if you work your way through in reverse order. 

You may have hopped her from my granddaughter Jaylin's blog, she enjoys stamping and see things in a way different from my own, she keeps me on my toes.

This month we are highlighting the stamp set that is this years Ronald McDonald House set "Sprinkles of Life". The stamp set can be found on page 189 of the annual catalog. $3 of every set sold is donated to the Ronald McDonald House Charities. There is a punch "Tree Builder" that can be bought to go with this stamp set. 

This is the  first card I made with this set.
