Happy Leap Day!

Happy Leap Day Everyone!!

Will I'm here today to Leap off onto a new adventure... I know how much more excitement do I need than to visit all of you each week on WOYWW... (which takes me all week too!). But here it is ... I've see so many of the gals that I Love to visit have a shop on Etsy and often though, I should try that... but it's taken me over 2-years to do it...

Yep!! I'm going to be selling my cards and creations on Etsy and here's my link to Dotty A Designs. Or you can get there by clicking on the Etsy button to the right, it will take you there too....

Please give me your feed back on my adventure as I need all the help I can get... I look forward to your ideas and comments. Can't wait to hear what you have to say!

Tell all your friends and family, send them my shop link, and maybe I'll be able to make a go of it.
Will off I go to start visiting all of you...!
Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!

What's in the Basket....?

Hi Everyone!!
Here's the last card for the Gift set I've been working on....
This is from the MFT-Summer set....
On this one I did paper piceing for the blanket and popped the basked up on that....
(maybe to much green, next time I may use a different paper for the blanket)
I used the same backgound papers and embossing folder to tie all the cards together.


here's the front....


and the inside......

Here's what I used;
  • Card Size finished / 3.5 x 6.25
  • Papers/ Creative Memories, SU, Canson-Watercolor 140-lb
  • Inks & Pens & Coloring/ Close to my Heart- Desert Sand- sponging, Memento- Rich Cocoa-sentiments, SU-Watercolor Crayons for coloring.
  • Images & Stamps/ My Favorite Things-Summer & Sentiments 
  • Misc./ Ribbon-stash, Cuttlebug Embossing Folder-Swiss Dot

Summer Afternoon......

When I got the stamp set from MFT I know I would use this Tree first.... and I did...
Really this could be used for just about any occasion or just a friendly Hi too.

this is the front......


and here's the inside.... I love this saying!

I though I would show you how I came to use the olive color on the tree...
I usually do a sample using a few different colors so it would give me an idea of the outcome... sometimes this works and sometimes it just looks compleatly different when its all done.
Anyway, this is my sample with the SU-Crayons colors I used.
Thanks for stopping by again!
Hope you Enjoyed!!
