My kids LOVE to play Tic Tac Toe.  I even have an app for it on my phone for when we go to restaurants.  I had seen this on a few other blogs about using a metal case, magnets, and glass beads to make a personalized travel size Tic Tac Toe game.  I decided to make it for my son’s dance buddy.  (They get to exchange gifts at each competition.)

 

I used Boho Blossom punch for the flowers, DSP, Rhinestone jewels and a lot of Decoupage glue to seal everything. The title and name were just printed off the computer as well as the inside.

 

 

 

 

This card is my “CASEd” version of one from Sandi Maciver.  This is blank but I had the request for a “thinking of you”, “Mother’s Day” or “Get Well Card.”  This one is flexible enough that any sentiment can be added down in the bottom right corner to fit any of those requests.  I also love that it is quick and simple.  I usually try to have a balance of more technique based and simple cards when I have a Stamp a stack.  It also helps fill the want to showcase items from the Occassion Mini (punch and Mixed Bunches set) as well as from the SAB (bright buttons) 

 

 

I am still in awe of all the wonderful creations that were at Regionals yesterday here in Columbus.  It was so great to finally be able to attend a Stampin’ Up! event, and even better to meet all the wonderful people.  I had so many pictures that I do not know where to start, so it will be a day or so before I start sharing some of the ideas I saw there. 

Now I am going to share the goodies that my friend Stephanie Gibson made for our table.  Since no one in my group was going to be there, she let me join her and her group at there table.  Since she was also helping out we had a Prime table right in front of the stage and screens!!!  I didn’t even need my glasses!

First there was a white bag with the tag on it!  (So need to get this die set! )

  

 Then inside the bag was a personalized CD case.

 

 

 

Inside that a Pen & notebook.  Which I have to say was great considering when I ran out of the house in the morning I completely forgot to throw mine in the bag I brought!

 

Hello,

I am so excited that Stampin’ Up! is having Regionals in Columbus.  It is this weekend for those that may not know. With that being said I have not been keeping up my creative juices by doing challenges and postings throughout the week.  I have been busy working on my cards for the swap.  I finally see the end of the tunnel for finishing the 50 full size card that I made…yes I realize the majority do card front only…but I can’t be normal now can I!?!

So, with that being said I will be making new cards later this week and getting those posted.  I also will post my card for Regionals, and try to share some of the wonders that inspire me there!

Manda!

Hello,

I am experiencing some issues with my blog.  I no longer have the help from the person who helped set this up.  With that being said, I need to admit that I am completely computer challenged.  I will be trying to work on fixing my side bar information.  In the mean time, if anyone knows someone who can offer some free/ inexpensive tips or solutions it would be most helpful!!!
