I came across Dottie's World blog and then their website over Christmas. Due to my health I'm not always up to making cards but have to rest so instead of just watching TV I thought I'd spend an odd half hour here and there looking at blogs and came across Dottie's World via a link from a friends website and then Charmed Card and Crafts.
I love Dottie, she is so cute but also liked the Girls about Town so decided this week to have both. naughty but very nice. I then saw Dottie's Wold Challenge for this week which was to make a "Start the New Year with a Laugh" kind of card. If you take part in this challenge Louise is kindly offering Scruff in the Tub FOR FREE. He's sooooooo cute. All you have to do is use a Charmed download to make the card and off you go.
For me Dottie sitting in the hammock spoke to me (personally I've always wanted a hammock but I know my bad balance I'd fall out and hurt myself!!!). I then did the words "If it's a choice between sunbathing and housework - which would you choose?" on the computer. I have layered Dottie on some holographic card, some stripey paper, some checked paper, made a border use an X-cut embossing die and added a pink flower and brad. I have seen people use different brightly coloured papers together in totally different styles ie checks and stripes, dots and stripes but I'm not sure it works but I've given it a go. She's been sitting finished on the dining room table for a few days now until I could take a photo - so much so I nearly missed the deadline!!!
Well sunbathing of course! Fabulous card Kym!! Glad you like the downloads - enjoy Scruff in the tub and thank you for joining in with the challenge.

Hi kym, Firstly, thank you so much for all your kind words about Dottie's World and Charmed Cards and Crafts, it was so lovely to read.
ReplyDeleteSecondly WELCOME TO DOTTIE'S WORLD!!! It's always nice to have some new faces around, I hope we get to see you a lot more.
Last but not least, your card....it's fantastic!!Dottie looks like she's having he time of her life in this cheerful card. I think this Britsh winter is enough to make us all a little envious of Dottie in her hammock but it certainly does help to cheer me up seeing such a colourful card.
P.S I enjoyed listening to your fab selection of music whilst writing this comment.
