DYSU #83 - Polka Dots


Hi all, I'm back today with a card for the new Challenge at DYSU. This week we would like to see your creations featuring Polka Dots!
 





I made some treat bags for my children's teachers at the end of term a few weeks ago, using Polka dot and stitching stamps from Waltzingmouse Stamps. Sets used are Offbeat Backgrounds, Very Vintage Labels Five and Afternoon Tea Sentiments,


The treat bags are from Waltzingmouse Stamps too, and the yellow Bakers Twine and little cherry blossom is from The Ribbon Reel.


The labels were cut using Spellbinders, and stamped with Waltzingmouse Stamps Very Vintage Labels 5.



Here are our generous sponsors for this week:  

Broken Box Stock
* A "Toodle Club Membership" and a free Toodle Birthday Calendar.  Total prize package is a $29 value.

Stamp & Create
* $25 Gift Certificate




I would like to enter these into this week's Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge - I was delighted to find that they fit this week's fabulous sketch created by Belinda Chang Langner.


Thanks for stopping by this week!

Pauline
