Okay... going to admit this cue word was really a tough one for me. I spent alot of time figuring out what I was going to do. I even made a trip to my favorite stamp store for some inspiration. Thankfully that trip did the trick and I came home with several different ideas. I ended up using my MFT alpha dies to create my tic tac toe board. I created the grid using some strips of hot pink card stock and then die cut the "Xs" and "O". I backed the negative space with dark red card stock. A fishtail flag was cut and then stamped with the sentiment. A bit of bling finished things off. Despite the grid being relatively large in size I still managed to keep things CAS by limiting my die cutting and embellishments.
Thanks for stopping by.... make sure you check out the cards from the rest of the design team: Melissa, Tracey, Jen, Ardyth, Judy, Maureen, Meghan and this week's guest designer, Christine. Can't wait to see what you come up with using this week's cue word!
Supplies: Cardstock: PTI white; SU! dark pink and dark red; Dies: My Favorite Things alphabet and fishtail flag stax dies; Ink: Memento Tuxedo Black; Rhinestone: Want2Scrap

I'm so pathetic that my first thought was xox doesn't win, but of course it does on valentines day! lol! Great card!
Such a fun idea for the cue word! I had a hard time with this one too but figured out something that I will share soon. :)
I love your design Rosemary!! Way to think outta the box!
I love that you die cut the letters out of your card front. Negative space is definitely your friend!

I would never have thought of this--totally wonderful & ingenious, Rosemary!
Goodness, what a fun card, Rosemary! Love the clever design you created for this week's challenge :)
Brilliant! Love the way you used the negative die cuts and how you placed the sentiment (I always find that one of the trickiest parts of card making...)
Fabulous card, Rosemary! I just love this idea!
