Let's Polka... shall we???

Well today's challenge at Sharon's is to polka...now don't get your panties in a ruffle, she means use polka dots on your card. Well I wanted to dance the polka too, so you're not alone;however, at my age I don't think I could do it justice the way I did in my 20's. I dated a Polish fellow and we danced the polka down at a little neighborhood bar to the music of Stan Bejniak's Polish band( of course I didn't spell that name correct! I'm not Polish). What fun and if you think aerobics gives you a work out...try doing the fast polka for a few hours. Fun but also pretty hard on the heart and airways. But back to the business at hand. This little polka dotted number used K & Company DP on the top,( it's a mod type of polka dots, don't you think?) some red & white polka dotted ribbon from Mike's and a little pd( short for polka dots) black and white chipboard flower along with my circle Nesties. The stamped butterfly is part of a set from Impression Obsession and the phrase is from Hero Arts. Of course I added some bling in silver and red.
Check out the super design team's work ...these ladies are GOOD!

Happy weekend friends and if you get out to do the polka ...be sure to stop in between dances and have a sip of beer or two. Holy kielbasa,I wish I could come along with you! Wonder if Stan is still playing the accordian and tapping his feet ??

Timeless Tuesday Challenge

Well today's challenge at Timeless Tuesday ( click my button ) is to create a card using one of Kimberly Poloson's posters as your inspiration. I chose one she calls Garden Shadow 1. I liked the fact it is done just in black and ivory and the image and DP more or less dominate. I used Flourishes Poppy and some wonderful paper from a pad put out by K & Company, added a bit of scallops by a punch from Martha ( Stewart that is ) and some bling black beads. Easy card with decent results. Cloudy here today after starting out as a beautiful sunny day the clouds moved in and now it's sort of hazy... me too. Hope your hump day is going well. See you on Friday for
another challenge.

Timeless Tuesday....day late

Well Timeless Tuesday ( click on my logo and get there) was yesterday but I'm a day late and a dollar short so.... here I am finally making a card. The challenge was to
frame it. Well we've all been framed at one time or another so I figured how hard it that. I used my Nestie's labels 4 to create a spot for my phrase and one a bit larger to create the frame. My phrase is from Stampin Up and I added a Prima flower
that I disected, ( sounds like Biology class doesn't it) added a little bling bead, a bit of ribbon and my dotted paper is from K & Company which in this pad there are some cool patterns. Easy enough to do and since time is limited today with my garden going to weeds, I took the easy way out. Happy middle of the week to you all. See you soon.
