Welcome to the third installment of our Summer Scrap-A-Thon Shoutouts!  I hope you&#8217;re enjoying the summer challenges!  My goal is to scrap each challenge this year and so far, I&#8217;ve really had a blast doing so, and hope you have too!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today we&#8217;re starting out with SugarBabe Judie&#8217;s <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/forum\/showthread.php?t=99033\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/forum\/showthread.php?t=99033\" target=\"_blank\">Tic-Tac-Toe<\/a> challenge.  For the challenge, your goal is to  use the classic tic-tac-toe board as the backdrop of your composition and include noticeable X&#8217;s and O&#8217;s somewhere on your page. In her post, Judie explains that the Rule of Thirds imagines a tic-tac-toe board in the background and proposes that important compositional elements should be placed along the lines or at the intersection of the lines to have the greatest impact on the viewer.  As an added bonus, Lorie (LJS Designs) provided a stitched and paint grid element template to use with the challenge (if you desire).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here&#8217;s a terrific layout from <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showgallery.php?cat=500&amp;ppuser=60384\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showgallery.php?cat=500&amp;ppuser=60384\" target=\"_blank\">amyjcaz<\/a> using Lorie&#8217;s template. Not only did she nail the X&#8217;s and O&#8217;s portion of the challenge, but she also topped off her layout by using the rule of thirds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-149.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"700\" height=\"700\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-149.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-84321\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-149.png 700w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-149-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-149-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-149-600x600.png 600w, https:\/\/www.sweetshoppedesigns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/image-149-400x400.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The layout that <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showgallery.php?cat=500&amp;ppuser=54001\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.sweetshoppecommunity.com\/gallery\/showgallery.php?cat=500&amp;ppuser=54001\" target=\"_blank\">shunnstergirl<\/a> created is another skillful example of using a tic-tac-toe pattern for the challenge.
