Spots & Dots...

The challenge over at 'Cupcakes' this week is to use 'Spots & Dots' somewhere on your creation.

''This week it was Lauren's turn to set the challenge. She chose spots and dots. You may make anything with as many or as little spots or dots as you want.''

I have made a couple of notebooks...

Doodles...

No ... not my youngest daughter's little toy one...but MTTC challenge 'doodles'!! ^.^
They said...
This week's theme is 'Doodling'. Try adding some freehand drawing to your projects. Maybe something really simple or if you're feeling really brave perhaps try drawing your own image instead of using a rubber stamp! Get your felt tips at the ready and have loads of fun doodling!
As you can see...I wasn't feeling really brave!!

Numbers...

The challenge on Arty Girlz this week is 'Numbers'. I have quite a few children's cards to make at the moment...so this is the card I made for the son of a friend of mine.
Boys cards are always a challenge for me...I find I just want to add a bow or a gem or a flower! lol ...but he liked it just as it was... Happy Birthday James x
