BBTB Blog Hop Winner and Going Dotty!

Finally what you've all been waiting for. I am pleased to announce that the BBTB Blog Hop winner is #77 (chosen by my DH using the old "pick a number between 1 and 129" method because I just can't figure out the random org thing.) CONGRATULATIONS MARGIE! and thank you to all who participated in the hop.

This card was created for the Cricut Message Board MCPT (magic colored pencil technique using Pisma pencils and Gamsol or odorless mineral spirits to blend) challenge for the month of April. Yeah, I know it's June but better late than never don't you think? Dear Aprile (ChirpinIsFun) on the mb was so sweet to send me the images so I could participate in the challenges even though I've been so busy I hadn't sent her an envie to send them in for months! I got the biggest kick out of these Changito monkeys that I HAD to do this one first. Then I went on the nut! I'm so thrilled to finally have found a local supplier of raindots that I used nearly an entire package on this card.

I forced myself to finish the inside because I find when I don't the card just lays around until I've used up or misplaced coordinating paper so it never gets sent. Besides, it gave me the opportunity to use MORE raindots! Between the polka dot paper, the Nestie and punched circles and the raindots I've officially gone DOTTY. This card weighs a ton but it was loads of fun to do.
