This weeks challenge at Wednesday Stamper was to create something with a polka dot theme. I made a few gothic arches using all justjohanna
rubber stamps, vintage photos, various pattern papers, prima flowers and letter stickers. The butterfly wings and little boy image are from Nancy Dooren’s freebie photos on her blog. The “school boy” is my Dad at age 12…love the colorized photos they did back in the day.

    Nancy these are beautiful! I love the little girl image in the first post. I found her online very early into my dabbling and I have used her twice in collages. She has such a sweet face and a wonerful pose. The arches really add a presence to these pieces. Love them! If you want to see the little girl she is on Sunday, April 8th and Thursday March 8 on my blog. Thought you would get a kick out of us using the same sweet gal! Love, Jamie
