Seize the Birthday #288 - Tic Tac Toe

Happy Thursday crafty friends, Glenda here!

I want to take a moment and thank Julia Aston for being such an awesome guest these past two months. We certainly have enjoyed having you, and your fabulous creations with us, and we look forward to seeing you back in our gallery soon. Take care!

We also have Bonnie Klass joining us today, as she was the overall winner of our last challenge using the Topping. Welcome to you, Bonnie! Happy to have you with us too!

Picking a theme is always fun, but also challenging as I want to come up with something fun! No pressure! lol! So I came up with a Tic Tac Toe Board. So pick any straight line (horizontal, diagonal or vertical) and make a card including those things. I hope you enjoy it. I love what the team and our guests came up with!

A Few Notes: slim line can be mini slim line or regular,

the card needs to be a birthday card (if you choose no birthday sentiment),

and one layer should be without any additional layers.

Our "Topping" option this time is...

If you're not a toppings kinda person, well...you can just
stick with our usual "Anything Goes" Birthday!

The choice is yours!

Just remember to keep it a Birthday Theme!
