Tic Tac Toe at AVJ!

I am so glad you have stopped by today and hope your week is going well. Tic Tac Toe is the current and what a fun challenge at AVJ and chosen by the wonderful Annie. For a chance to win a prize from Country View Crafts, please share your Tim inspired projects with us and for more inspiration and a feast for the eyes, you will want to see what the rest of the team has for you! There are going to be some exciting changes with AVJ's challenges, so be sure to check out the main challenge blog for all the details.
For this challenge I went on the diagonal with Idea-ology, Ephemera and Stains. No stamps or ink this time around and that was a challenge for me! Now you can incorporate those items, but I wanted to just stick with the TTT! The tag was cut from Tim's Wallflower paper and edged and splattered with Stains of Barn Door and Walnut Stain. I also carried that onto the Ephemera pieces as well. A Sharpie marker was used to color the Industrious Stickers.
We are flying to see our Holly for her birthday, so this tag has lots of elements in celebration of being together on a special day and over Valentine's Day! "Love Is In The Air" at Inspiration Journal and so we go there for a visit! What a great excuse this challenge of Tic Tac Toe was to use up some of those items just sitting around. I did have fun just layering them up and playing!
Have a lovely weekend and thank you again for taking the time to stop by.

What a terrific tag, Terry - I love the bold red accents, and the film ribbon is perfect. I tried really hard to stick to just the three ingredients... I know we didn't have to - and it's just as well, because I failed!!

I could see straight away this was for dear Holly and what a wonderful tag to give her. I love the layering up of ephemera and the pops of red and that it has special meaning for her. No inks and stamps???!!! - wow you did such a great job without them, love it.
Have a good weekend.

Hi Terry - great tag - I love the contrast of the text in the different layers. Some subtle, some bold - really creates interest and depth. Nxx
