"I have really been loving these Tic Tac Toe challenges each month. This month I decided to use the right column. I started with 

Chevron Paper, Ephemera (I got the MOD sticker and the "Oregon's Gone Mod" postcard when we got dinner) and Thickers (second part of my title). 

I then added some embellishment to go with my fun papers and it all just "pops" off the wood grain background. 

can't wait to see which Tic Tac Toe you use!"

"Good morning and Surprise! 

I have a two-pager to share with you today! I could have just posted the right side to meet the challenge requirements, but who wants to see half a layout, right? This layout brought together several random photos that I didn't want to leave out of my Disney album. Doesn't every trip have those? Anyway, the tic-tac-toe row I went with includes Border Punch, Stitching, and the color Yellow. There actually was already hand-drawn zig-zag stitching on the journal card. I went over it with hand-stitching and extended it a bit!"

Joefil Cate

"My name is Joefil Cate. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada. I am married to a wonderful husband that encourages my scrapbooking. I have a 8 yrs. old daughter named Chelsey who is my inspiration! She is my favorite topic to scrapbook and I use her photos all the time. I started scrapbooking six years ago and fell in love with it right away. I am now officially addicted! I scrapbook whenever I feel like it which is a lot. I don’t really have a particular style ,I just love playing with different papers and trying new techniques, my projects always include layering, watercoloring, flower clustering and stitching. I get many good ideas from sketches and challenges online. I love the online challenges. 

I would love for you to visit and follow me at my blog at

GDT Joefil has created this stunning layout inspired by the challenge to get you motivated...

Joefil:

"I used the middle row (stitching, flowers, ephemera)

I started my page with white card stock, and a cut file from the cut shoppe. I used just be you collection, backing the cut file of patterned papers is so fun for me. I hand stitched the heart shape in the middle of the cut file.

I also used ephemera pack form the collection like the one I used for my title and some labels that I layers in the side of my photo. the flowers I used is also in the same collection I fussy cut some of the flowers and some is from the sticker sheets. Lastly I added some flower stamp and sequins."

Thank you Joefil for providing this beautiful inspiration and agreeing to be our April Guest Designer!
