Going Dotty!

Good Morning....its a lovely bright and rather chilly Frosty Friday here in the UK, but hopefully this week's dare will put a little warmth into your day!

But firstly, we'd all like to say thank you to everyone who joined in with Lynda's dare last week, it was absolutely lovely seeing all those Sepia variations. And thank you to Lynda, your first dare was a cracker!!


Onto to this week's dare, set by me (Vanessa) and I thought we'd have a little break from all things Christmassy. So, for one week only over this festive period, we're having a no-Christmas and no-Winter zone! Its polka-dot week! Lets bring some warmth to our cards with polka dots, but I don't mean spots or dots in a variety of sizes, it has to be specifically polka-dots (i.e. a pattern of dots of equal size, equally spaced). However, you can have whatever colour(s) you choose as long as your card doesn't look cold and wintry!!

To set you on your way, scroll down below to see what lovely creations the DT have come up with. Please join in and pop a link to your card in the comments section :-

Say it in "Sepia"

Hi, it's Lynda here this week, I'd like to welcome you all to our first dare for December, and also to my very first dare-setting experience! I do hope you'll enjoy what I've got in store for you.

First, though we'd like to say a big "thank you" to everyone who joined in with us last week and made cards for Jozza's "White Christmas" challenge. Such a fabulous array of beautiful cards we had to admire.


So, on to my dare:


Say it in "Sepia"
I've been sorting through some "Old" family photographs with the intention of Scrapbooking them and I just love the Sepia ones. So I thought it would be nice to see a "Thank You" card made using "sepia" tones. So that's just brown/white or brown/cream depending on your card base colour. . We will all be needing "Thank You" cards after Christmas so that's why I chose that sentiment just to help us all get started.

Here's what the Design Team have come up with to help get you thinking - don't forget to come back and leave us a link so that we can see your cards.
