This is the first month I've been able to complete every single one of the Design Dollies challenges, I just love those girls!!
First, a layout. I was really happy with how the colours came together for this one. Basically I just used up a bunch of leftover bits and pieces that were cluttering up my desk, and when it was done I noticed all the spots and dots, love that!!!

# Design Dollies ~ Sketch challenge
Edited to add: I had a few questions about the layout - so here's the ingredients list ~
* Kaisercraft papers (the brown spotty one is the reverse side of Home for Christmas - Kris Kringle; the red with white spots is the reverse side of Vagabond - Gypsy) and a smidgen of Basic Grey from my offcuts folder.
* American Crafts 'Alpha Pals - Champion Block - Black' alpha stickers - I'm pretty sure they are discontinued; my stash is pretty old!! I added white Signo gel pen around the edges because it told me to, and I always listen to my Signo.
* Making Memories Tiny Alphas with some more white gel pen to doctor up some of the letters.
* Journalling stamp: Li'l Davis stamped with ColorBox fluid chalk.
* Buttons (because I love circles and I love buttons) stitched on with DMC embroidery floss.
* And a bit of that green negative embie (from Kate) tucked in behind the title
* Paper napkin flower, leftover from making J-girl's Easter carton
Next, some cards:
# Design Dollies ~ Colour challenge ~ Red, turquoise, white
I made a second card while all the red, white and turquoise bits were all over my scrap desk...
# Design Dollies ~ Colour challenge ~ Red, turquoise, white
# Basic Grey ~ Challenge 16 ~ Tutti Frutti
I used Basic Grey stamps on this card (oops, I smudged the sentiment, don't tell anyone...)
