I am the challenge hostess this week at the StampinB and asked that we do polka dots. Can be background dots, embossing folder dots, gel dots, dotted dp, etc. Just get the dots on there! I used my Swiss Dot emb. folder and dotted bg paper. I did a really simple card by stamping directly onto the cardstock and tied a ribbon on and it is finished!
Hope you'll join us at the StampinB this week.

So you've "gone dotty" on us have you dear Benzi! New babies in the family can do that to a person! Love your card - that colourful strip of ribbon is just great. Maybe this week I'll get a StampinB card made...

What a perfectly dotty card, Benzi!! I love *all* of your dots, as well as the high contrast. And isn't that striped ribbon FABULOUS?? It looks so terrific knotted around your dotty card--and preppy, too

How adorable! So THAT'S why Bugzi had dots on her card, the one right before this one in our pnz gallery. I did not read all the challenges she combined, but I bet this is one of them.
I like the navy and white together: very crisp and clean and summery. And I like that you kept it simple, simple, simple.

Benz, this is a wonderful CAS card. I have to give you credit for that and it was your challenge idea too!! You're moving up in the world my Peepzi Prez!! Hey, are you now known as Grandma Peepzi??? Just curious. Should I let your children know that you want the grandchildren to call you that? Send me their e-mail addresses and I'll be sure to let them know!! LOL!! I know, keep personal life and stamping life separate!! I LOVE your use of the polka dots and that fabulous ribbon just tops it off. You did GOOD on this Benz!! TFS!

I'm a huge fan of polka dots.
I think they are so fun... and so is your card.
I like that fun sentiment on the top.
That beautiful ribbon really adds a splash of color.
