Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge #1

Happy New Year!  I hope today finds you looking forward to all the new year has to hold, and what's better than starting that new year with a brand new crafty challenge?! :)  The first challenge at Stamping Smiles Designs Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge is officially up!  I'm so happy that I can finally share my first card with you, and I'm especially looking forward to seeing what you create.  Playing along is easy and fun!  

For my card I chose the top row: gold, sparkles, and acetate.  The gold glitter cardstock is so fun as is, but it's twice as fun with gold confetti shaking on top of it.  :)

And guess what?  There's a little more to this card that at first meets the eye.  If you look closely you'll see that it actually includes middle column elements as well with sparkles, embossing, and new.  As I was creating my card and reminiscing about playing tic-tac-toe with my sisters as a child, I remembered how the only thing better than winning tic-tac-toe is to get the winning spot that allows you to win two ways, do I decided to do it just for fun. :) Sparkles was my "winning spot".

And since this card embodies just what I would expect to see at a New Year's Party, I'm also linking this up to the Simon Says "Party" Challenge.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!  Now quick..head over to the Tic-Tac-Toe Challenge blog!  You'll find the Challenge Revealed Post, which shows the rest of the Design Team's cards and more importantly shows how to play along.  I cannot wait to see what you create!
