Sunday Challenge #9 - Pick a Letter.

Hi Dottie & George groupies, Juliet here, and welcome to Sunday Challenge #9 - 'Pick a Letter'. The challenge this week is a little bit different.....Choose any letter in the alphabet, and use as many things on your card beginning with that letter as possible, for example, if you choose the letter ‘S’ you could use stitching, stamping, spots, staples, stickers, slugs, snails, stars, anything beginning with the letter ‘S’. You can use other things too, of course. Either Dottie, George or a Kitty from the downloads must also feature on your card of course, but get really creative with the other elements. Can’t wait to see what you come up with.


For my first card I chose the letter 'B' and used Baking Dottie (Dottie at Work Collection) with her Blackboard, a Butterfly, Bee, Brads, Blooms, Button, Blue, Birthday cake and a bit of Bling.

I used the letter 'G' for this Gothic Dottie (Rock 'til You Drop Collection) card, with Green, Gems, Glitter Glue, Giant flower and a Greeting.

Karen chose 'P' for Punk - Punk Rocker George of course,
P for Paper - Basic Grey Euphoria and Bazzill
P for Paint - (I used acrylic paint around the two main frames)
P for Pen - I doodled around the edge with a pen
P for Purple - purple buttons, purple brads, purple ribbon, purple bazzill. Plus you have purple in the BG Euphoria paper background.
P for Poem - OK it wont sell volumes but it rhymes LOL
P for Petals - Prima blooms

I just love the colours in this card and the verse is very clever - I didn't know Karen was a poet!

Nicola used Biker George from the new 'Rock 'til You Drop' collection for her stunning card, and the letter 'B' for Bike, Biker George, Brads, Blue, Black, Beige and Beard. I think George looks very handsome with his goatee. Nicola used the tutorial on http://charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/ for her circular greeting.

Louise also took her images from the new Rock 'til You Drop Collection, firstly with 60's George and the letter 'R', using Red card, Records and paper Ribbon. Those old vinyl records are superb - and I think we need a tutorial on making those Lou!


Louise's second card is 'Punk Rocker George' and this card is amazing. I think Lou must have been a punk to be able to add such fantastic detail. Her letter for this one is ‘G’, and we have George (of course!), Guitar, Glossy Accents on the guitar, belt and hair, Glitter on the guitar, Gromlets on a Green background (set with my big bite) and hand doodled Graffiti.


I hope you all have as much fun as we did with this challenge and we are positively itching to see your creations.
Have a lovely Sunday,
LOL, Juliet xx

Friday's Offering

I love Fridays, it is after all the day before the weekend :o) To reflect my good mood this morning I am showing you a bright and cheerful, pink and frivolous birthday card. Watch out for Sunday's challenge where I will be using this Dottie graphic again - but in that one she will be joined by someone else!!

Sakura pens used for adding a little glaze, as well as my ever faithful Glossy Accents. White Sakura pen used to add emphasis to the purple scalloped frame. The cakes are layered to add dimension.

Digi Hybrid #2 - Double Dottie!

Good morning campers!! What a glorious start to the week with the sun already shining brightly down upon us!

Keep submitting your challenge entries, so far the projects have been outstanding and we want to see MORE!


OK, here is my second example of a digi hybrid card. Once again it illustrates the benefits of our downloads as it allows you to resize the graphic to any required size. In this one I have used two Dottie's, one as an adult lollipop lady and the others as a little wet girl shielded and protected by the adult. I have used both a clear glaze pen to give a sheen and Glossy Accents to really bring the rain to life.

'Good Luck!'

Hello everybody and welcome to you at the start of a Brand New Chapter in Dottie and Georges life!!

As it is a beginning I thought I would use the Goodluck in your new Job Dottie from the 'Dottie at Work' collection.

I used the Transclucent download, On Word I added the backing sentiment'Goodluck' and then inserted Dottie over the Top. I then printed a duplicate picture of Dottie on a plain piece of paper,then paper pieced her onto the image with the sentiment behind.

I used watercolour pens to add colour to her, then layered the topper onto Basic Grey paper,Sugared, available at Charmed Cards and Crafts. On a 6 ins square card I added the dottie ribbon,paper flowers,adding a piece of ribbon with gems attached to the end under them,then to finish I secured some buttons in a complimentary tone of colour.
