Default WT152 - Going Dotty

It's Thursday again and this week...we're going to go a little dotty! You're going to have fun pulling out those polka dotted products or even make your own because this week the Ways to Use it Challenge is to use Polka Dots! A fun classic.. dots are showing up everywhere on patterned paper, backgrounder stamps, brads...everywhere. I know everyone should be able to play along with this challenge...if you don't have any dotted product why not make your own dots by stamping with the eraser on the end of a pencil or punch out your own? The gallery is going to be dancing with dots today, stampers!

As always...please remember to put WT152 in your keywords section and post a link back here. This is not a contest and there are no time limits. Make as many NEW creations as you wish and link them here.

My Sample: Oh Happy Day

Shel9999's samples: Monkey Love 1, Monkey Love 2

Gallery Submissions

Wishing you a fabulous day!

I think I am cheating because I am using a card that I already had made, but it fit so well in todays challenge, that I could not resist! I may work on a new submission later tonight, but here is my card for now:

Thanks for looking!

Perfect timing...I just received my new Swiss Dots Cuttlebug embossing folder yesterday. I also have lots of dotted papers, Polka Dot and Dotted BG stamps, plus tons of ribbon with dots. Now, what to choose, what to choose...can't wait til this [work]day ends so I can get some real work done!
