Welcome to Just INKlined's very first DT blog hop. This month's blog hop is hosted by the amazing Jak Heath, and she's asking us to get dotty - LOL. Yup the theme is DOTS, large or small - this could be dotty ribbon, design paper, diecuts, embossing, pearls or gems, brads or any other dotted variations.
You should have arrived here from the lovely Lydia's blog. The complete hop list is below should you get lost!
Obviously I've gone for dotty DP - it's a retired pattern from Stampin' Up. My image is Aubery Bumblethorpe and can be found in store HERE. When I first saw Aubery I thought of Jolly Saint Nick - with his big belly for laughing and his beautiful snowy white beard he just needs his red suit on and he'd be set for Christmas - LOL. But here he is with his Black Sabbath t-shirt and workpants on so he must be giving the sleigh it's annual service so it runs smoothly on Christmas Eve - right?!?!?!?! Oh OK - it may be a stretch but it IS a fun idea isn't it and would be a great card for a bloke who doesn't like Christmas frills. I've given his glasses thick lenses with my crystal effects and the wrench has some Christmas sparkle on courtesy of my silver spica pen. the sentiment is computer generated.
Now what's an inaugural hop without a prize?!?! Each DT member on the hop will randomly select one person who comments on their blog to receive the digi image that they've used for the blog hop, no alternatives to the image will be offered - so I'll be arranging for Aubery to go to some lucky person!
Since I'm the last stop on the hop you need to make sure you haven't missed anyone so head back to Jak's blog.
Hop Order - Jak, Toni, Mina, Karen, Lydia and ME - last but not least - LOL
Hope you've enjoyed the hop and I'll be announcing the winner of the Aubery image soon!
