Happy Tuesday to you!!

I'm here today as guest designer for City Crafter challenge blog for this week using stripes and polka-dots. ~FUN~ :)

I accented the polka dots with some pearls....

Delish webster's pages used on this card.

and one more card in these same colors.........

Cute little vintage image from Crafty Secrets. Posies I picked up at the craft store...... a huge bundle for just a dollar. whoop!!! :)

i ~love~ card sets!

now hop back to the City Crafter blog to check out the other pretty samples there, and also to see the *original* card I made for the challenge (and was far from satisfied with :) ......) Thank you Kirsty and all the other city crafters for inviting me to join you this week!!!

Hope you'll have time to make something pretty with stripes-and-polka-dots, and share it with us too. Link up on the City Crafter blog....... we'd love to have you join us.
