Happy Sunday.

It's the fabulous LeAnne's turn to host our Paper Players challenge this week and it's Tic-Tac-Toe week:

Tic-tac-toe weeks are always fun as there are so many different cards in the gallery - and in the inspiration from our design team!  I went with a masculine card.  This card is being sent off to be delivered with Meals on Wheels for seniors.  It's much busier than my normal style, but once I started die-cutting the gear elements, I couldn't seem to stop!

For my card I went with blue, circle and birthday.  I stamped and fussy cut the car and colored it blue.  I used a circle to ground the car and, of course, it's a birthday card!  I decided to add a little more texture on the circle and ran it through my Big Shot with a very old Tim Holtz embossing folder.

Here's my card:

Geared Up (1 of 1)

I hope you will join us and play along.  As always, our design team have some fabulous inspiration for you:

On a personal note:

Well, I've been a busy little bee in my craft room for the last couple of days.  It was wonderful to take some time off during what would be normal working hours and ... well, just have some fun!  So, I will have some cards to share with you over the next couple of days.  I did spend time catching up with my upcoming challenge cards, but did get to play along with a couple of challenges this week.  It was a good way to escape the cold, rainy weather.  It's hard to believe that it was in the 90s last week and got down to 39 this week!  We only just missed a frost warning for two mornings in a row.

I also went and sat outside for a while yesterday hoping to catch some birds at the feeder.   Well, they were having NONE of me yesterday and wouldn't come out to play at all.  So, after 15 minutes, I decided it was getting too cold and left them alone!  Hopefully they will indulge me over the next couple of days and I can get some photos.

I'll be back later with another card.  In the meantime, warm hugs and prayers for those of you who need a little lift today.

Hugs

Jaydee
