Its very difficult to make cards for boys,especially 16 year olds, when they are just at the grunting stage, I thought this card suits a 16 year old quite well. I used the image from Rock til you drop bundle of downloads & the number 16 I embossed with the number cuttlebug folder ,then added eyelet with a cropdile,available at Charmed Cards and Crafts

A bit further on with the challenge, and here's my latest card using Vegas George from the Rock Til You Drop collection. I coloured the image a few days ago and yesterday received a fabulous parcel from Karen at http://charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk/ containing these 'Hello Sunshine'Cosmo Cricket papers which were just perfect! I took the card into work today and they were almost fighting over it, so I have a few more to make now!!!
Hope you're enjoying using these new images - I certainly am!

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!
I hope you all have as much fun as we did with this challenge and we are positively itching to see your creations.Well, thank-you-very-much!!!!Uh hu hu!
I'm so touched by the amout of positive feedback I've had about the new collection, you've al made me so happy.
Today I've brought Vegas George to show off to you, I think he's my favourite George so far.
This card took ages to make because it kept going wrong, it nearly went in the bin at one stage but I'm glad I didn't give up because I think it turned out ok.
I used glossy accents on the guitar and his glasses but you can't see it very well in the photo. The papers are Basic Grey and the image is Vegas George from the Rock Til You Drop Download collection. Just click the 'Download Dottie' blinkie in the side bar for a closer look at the collection, which, by the way can now be bought from anywhere in the whole wide World!!!!!!
Well I don't know about you, but I feel like dancing!!! Sorry to shout, but .......................................
THIS FABULOUS NEW COLLECTION IS AVAILABLE NOW!
check out http://charmedcardsandcrafts.co.uk or click the Dottie Downloads blinkie on the right to see all the designs. Oh, I almost forgot, Lou has included coloured images too - perfect for that quickie card.
Couldn't resist this 60's Rock 'n' Roll Dottie and George - just the excuse I needed to get those bright colours working......and they have their very own glitter ball, how cool do they look.
Back to my 70's heyday with this Punk George - I knew those safety pins would come in handy.
I just love this image, not that I was ever a punk you understand, lol.
I can also count these in my challenge to use all the images I haven't yet..........trouble is, there's loads more to do now! Hmmmmm.
We're going to have fun with this collection girlies - hope you enjoy them as much as I am.
Happy crafting,
Love Juliet xxx
Hello again, Louise here.
I'm breaking the one post a day rule to bring you some exciting news. Coming to a computer screen near you verrrrry soon is the brand new collection and I think you are going to love this one.
It's called Rock 'Til you Drop and it features both Dottie and George Dressed in costumes from a range of rock eras. So you'll be seeing Biker George, Vegas George, Punk George, Rocker/Gothic Dottie and much much more. The coloured images were so popular with the Christmas collection that I've popped those in there for you too.
Here's a little taster of what's to come. Hippy Dottie.
I'm really happy with this image, I think she's really dreamy looking.
Edited to say......The collection has gone live! Pop on over for a looksee.
