For those of you who receive my daily blog post, you know I love a good challenge. (If you don’t receive it, and would like to, please sign up). There happened to be several challenges within the same time frame, and I decided to combine the requirements of not one, not two, but three challenges!
Tic Tac Toe, using a diagonal row, would give me “oval-FREE-die cut.”
CAS(E) this sketch! would provide the lay-out.
Fab Friday would give me my three colors.
Wouldn’t this be fun? The Painted Autumn Designer Series Paper is my “go to” for these fall colors, and I selected a piece of Pumpkin Pie and Tangerine Tango for the background. I chose a card base of Thick Very Vanilla to match the dots in the DSP.
The circles in CAS(E) this sketch became ovals, which I die cut with the Layering Ovals, to satisfy the Tic Tac Toe challenge. I also used die cutting (Layering Seasons die set) for the leaves.
The sentiment (retired from Lighthearted Leaves) was stamped in Fresh Fig ink, for the Fab Fri color challenge. This color was also used for one of the die cut leaves.
For the Tic Tac Toe “free” square, I added lace at the bottom in honor of Peggy Noe, (she loves lace) who is this week’s designer.
I like to send a few Thanksgiving cards, so this one will come in handy. Thanks to the three great challenges for providing inspiration!

Great way to combine challenges! Cute card.
Thank you, Chrissy! I appreciate you visiting my blog!
You’re a rock star for getting 3 challenges on one card and doing it so the end product is beautiful! I love those leaves, especially the layered ones and the lace detail goes well with the openess of the leaves and the large oval. Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
Thanks, Amanda! It was a fun challenge! Happy to share with Fab Friday!

So pretty! You’ve hit on my favorite sheets from this DSP pack, lol… The leaves and floating ovals are just perfect! I really like that touch of lace, too! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
Thank you, Heather! I agree, this is a favorite sheet of DSP, and one that was hard to cut into. I know you understand!
Gorgeous! I love the leaves layered over the frames! Fabulous take on the sketch!
Thank you, Leigh! I love your description of it, “leaves layered over the frames.” I wish I’d thought of that!
You are funny, Stella! Thank you for the compliment!
Another fabulous fall card. Three challenges and some can’t walk and chew gum at the same time! You are very creative.
Very pretty leaves! I love the die cut circle frame too. Great use of those colors! Thanks for joining us at Fab Friday, hope to see you again soon!
