I was really excited to do this challenge but found I was struggling so I grabbed ABS 'Lil' Monster's Balloon' Stamp Set and matching Die and things seemed to fall into place lol and once again I'm not the best colourer out there but I am learning a lot from my fellow 'Belles' and their wonderful tutorials that they have posted over at AnnaBelle's Community~Stamp Embellish Create!

I wanted to use bright colours for a little boy and decided on Red, Blue and Orange and this time I coloured Lil' Monster brown and cased Sue K's idea to place Sprinkles on Lil' Monster's top for buttons(thanks for the inspiration Sue)and I just had to use AnnaBelle's new border die, LOVE it lol and I have also placed glitter on the number '5' for a little sparkle but it doesn't show in the photo  ;-(   lol!

It's also Annabelle Stamps Blog fun theme challenge so we are combining the new set with the challenge and this week's fun theme challenge you need to 'Say It With...

Welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Challenge and this week it's another fun 'Say It With...' challenge and this week you need to Say It With...'Polka Dots', what fun lol!

So here's my card:

I have kept my card fairly simple as I wanted my 'Polka Dots' to do the talking lol!

I have used two AnnaBelle Stamps stamp sets this week, I have used the Polka Dot Border Stamp from 'Background By Designs 1' and I have used the gorgeous Medallion and Sentiment from 'Sentimental Bluebells' stamp set.

I stamped my 'Polka Dot' Border is some Cherry Cobbler Ink onto my Kraft card base.
I stamped my medallion and sentiment also in Cherry Cobbler Ink, cut out using nestabilities Circles and Lacey Circles Dies.

I mounted my medallion onto my card base using some 3D foam mounting tape, tied some gorgeous White Satin Ribbon into a knot at the top of my card and finished off my card by placing some yummy 3mm and 4mm Licorice Sprinkles under my sentiment.

What a fun challenge! Would you like to play along with us? All you need to do is make a creation using 'Polka Dots' and link your project from your Blog or On-line gallery at AnnaBelle Stamps Blog!

Welcome to AnnaBelle Stamps Blog Challenge and this weeks challenge is an AWESOME one and I think, no I know your going to love it!

I used the newly released 'Stemmed Flowers' by AnnaBelle Stamps and used the single stemmed imaged and stamped it in some Old Olive ink onto my White circle which has been layered onto my Brown lacey circle.

I have placed my circles over my stamped border using some 3D foam mounting tape and I have used 'Backgrounds By Designs 1' by AnnaBelle Stamps and I used the polka dot border image and stamped it in some Brown ink, layered some Brown with White polka dots sheer ribbon over the top.

I used two Pink Petals from AnnaBelle Stamps Pink Petals Kit and layered the two together and placed a tiny Brown button in the centre.

My sentiment reads 'Happy Birthday' which is from the 'Sentimental Bluebells' stamp Set also from AnnaBelle Stamps and I have stamped the sentiment in some old Olive ink onto some White card stock and I have used a punch to punch it out!

To finish off my card I have place three Olive Sprinkles in my corner on my polka dot embossed Pink card stock which has been layered onto my Brown card base!
I think i was in a polka Dot mood when I made my card lol!

I've kept my card fairly simple as I wanted my Sentiment to 'Pop' and my sentiment, 'Joy To The World' is from 'Holly Branch' stamp set from AnnaBelle Stamps.
This set was released last Christmas but I had to used as I LOVE it lol!

I cut out my White oval using a oval nestie die and stamped my sentiment in some Cherry Cobbler ink and used a little 3D foam mounting tape to adhere to my embossed panel.

I'm a few days late with my card, O.K. quite a few days late lol but I LOVE ribbon so I made time to make a card, so here's my card:

I made my bow with some gorgeous White Satin ribbon and I also used the Bow Easy to make my bow lol as my freehand bows are not the best lol!
