I love the freedom of just playing and seeing where inspiration takes me. I knew I wanted to use the face from Tim Holtz Classics 5 Stamp set combined with dots in some way. My first thought wasWendy Vecchi’s Stencils For Art Dots and Stripes Borders stencil and so my ideas began to develop. Tim’s Words Remnant Rubs helped to add motivational words to my piece; I love the freedom of creating this piece and was pleased with the mix of elements.

Playtime with my new GelliArts Plate,6×6 Mini Layered Beads and Wendy Vecchi’s Polka Dotty Stencils let me create some really fun polka dot backgrounds that I collaged onto the front of my custom sized envelope created with my new Envelope Punch Board. What would a polka dot piece be without Dyan Reaveley’s Dependable Dotty? Well, mostly Dependable Dotty. Her head is Pondering Petunia’s topped off with polka dot hair. Tim Holtz’ Vintage Fan mixes vintage with funky as the blades spin and fling paint into the dot patterns.
Made by Dan
Dan had this to say:
Somewhere in my house there is an invisible mountain of pens that I have lost over the years and consequently, whenever I need a pen while on the phone I can never find one! I’m rectifying this situation for once and for all with this pen pot which will live next to my phone and will be kept fully stocked. Among the stamps that I used here were the School Desk and Mixed Media sets from Tim Holtz, Simon Says Stamp’s exclusive Apothecary Labels set and the Index Card and Blank Ticketstamps from Memory Box.

LOVE LOVE LOVE dots!! This is my very first visit to the SSS Blog and I’ll be playing along with this challenge for sure!!
Love all the crafty goodness…love this blog!
Dots are my go-to tool. All you need is a finger, a pencil eraser, a stylus…lots of easy options, but dots can really ‘finish” a project. Can’t wait to see how others use them.
Fabulous dotty inspiration – thank you! I really like Dan’s pen box – what a great idea! Thanks for another fun challenge!
Super cute projects!
Wow! Love the challenge and the inspiration too! That pen pot is something I need yesterday!
The projects shared today are so artistic! Amazing work!
Dots always make projects fun!
Love all three of these beautiful projects.
Love the projects!!!
Dots are just a basic. But Dan, Distress markers should never be stored upright, they should be stored on their sides so lay your box down!! Love the cards . . .
So many dots…how fun!!
The projects were fantastic. The face looks at you and sees all. the saying on the second project is very true. The boxes are so necessary and work much better when they are so pretty.
Lots of dots inspiration! I like all these examples so much.
I”m with Dan on never finding a pen! What a fab holder to have near the phone!
Completely unique projects, love that. What a fun challenge, I hop I get time to play. Thanks for all of this intriging inspiration.
These are gorgeous prohects! Thanks for the inspiration.
