    1. Thank you Lisa!!! You would not believe it, but I added four pop dots to a clear stamp holder and adhere it to the top of and old burner cover that my brother had, used a sponge applicator and added acrylic paint around the edge and "stamped" the circle onto my page....LOL! I got the idea from Rochelle Spears who told me to find an old plate and paint the edges, but did not have any but found a set of old burner covers which are part of my paint and misting stash now.

    2. HOW CREATIVE!!!! I thought it looked like you dipped the edges of a plate in paint! I love it, I hope you don't mind if I "borrow" that awesome idea someday! How fun, it is a very unique look!
