March Inspiration Challenge at Dude Time Doodles

It's time for an inspiration challenge! We want to see you use springtime hues ... shades of green that is!

The winner will receive three images of their choice from Dude Time Doodles.


For my submission, I used the "Fish Set" - I thought it would give me a chance to use a variety of greens. I used some gold glittery mesh over top some paper by Creative Memories. I added some dew drops, stickles and of course glossy accents.
Now take a good look at the inspiration picture below and get going on your creations!

PRIZE:

Now on to my creation for this challenge ... I used Corset II by Dude Time Doodles and the sentiment is by TLC.

I stayed with black and red for this card and thought the corset lace would be the perfect touch. I used my scallop border punch then threaded the ribbon through each hole. It's a bit difficult to see but I used some black lace under the corset as well as under the sentiment. I have to say, I really like the feathers too! I had an empty spot that needed to be filled but didn't think buttons would work on this card. I scanned my craft stash and the key caught my eye. I think it filled the empty spot quite nicely.

To get you "fired" up for this challenge, I chose to work with Howie HotHotHot by Dude Time Doodles!

I decided to create a gate fold card (my all time fave fold). I found this charm by The Charm Barn in my stash and thought it would work because of the flames!

The Sentiment "Go Ahead" is by High Hopes.

Axel Lumberjack is here and if you axe him, you're older than wood! I struggled and struggled with sentiments for Axel and it was making it difficult for me to decide on the card layout.

Marlene ... just an idea!) down the slopes lookin' mighty fine with her scarf blowing in the breeze (good thing she is dressed, I think more things would be blowing in the breeze!).

It was at a customer appreciation night at our local craft store (Creative Accents) and I couldn't resist picking up the papers and felt snowflakes. I also used their sketch as my layout for this card.

It's time for another Wednesday challenge at Dude Time Doodles. This time, we are asking you to create a project based on one of these special November Days:

• World Hello Day - November 21st
• Thanksgiving - November 24th
• Stay @ Home Because You're Well Day

My pick was Thanksgiving, how could I not when Fanny Thanks is up for grabs! Since I colored her with a fairly bright orange, I chose some subtle papers to tone it down....but with a comment like "Turkey Farts", how can one tone it down?!

Now it's your turn to have some fun! Pick a "Day" and get on with it BUT not before you check out the other FAB creations from the Design Team!

This here little lady is "Lady Stinker" by our Crazy Marlooney. I was sitting, not unlike Lady Stinker here, trying to figure out what kinda sentiment I was gonna use. Then I remembered my collection of sentiments by Marlooney that she kindly offered as a freebie on her blog (although I did add the star).

PERFECTO!

I used an old sketch from Sketch Saturday but it was missing something. So, I sat down again (great thinking spot it is) and reached for some TP, AHHA, perfect embellishment right at my fingertips!

Now head on over to Lynn's FAB creation! Happy Crafting!

Color Inspiration Challenge

It's inspiration challenge time over at Dude Time Doodles and this month, our inspiration is "Pink, Black & White".

All you have to do is use the photo inspiration above to create a masculine themed card - you are not required to use BDD images although it would make us really happy if you did! Be sure to link your creation using Mr. Linky over at Dude Time Doodles.

It's time to give Breast Cancer a karate chop and I thought Benny Hanna was just the one to spread the word! This photo doesn't do justice to the paper I used but believe me, it's beautiful in all it's different shades of pink. I used an embossing folder on the grey paper to add some texture, along with baker's twine and added a fishy charm cause the card needed something.

As you can see, I stuck with the same design on the inside as well and Best Fishes was the best I could come up with. I'm sure some of you have some very witty sentiments that would work better!

The rest of the Dudettes have some great creations to show off, so make sure you check them out and leave them some love.

Whatcha waiting for, get crafting!!

DTD goes Pink

Dude Time Doodles has decided to mix it up! For this challenge, we are asking you to "Think Pink" in support of National Breast Cancer Month. I decided to keep it simple with this gate fold card (one of my fave folds cause it's easy!!). I colored Jimmy Gymnastic with my Copics and went through my paper stash and found this kinda gender neutral pink paper (is there such a thing as gender neutral pink?) and matched it with some chocolate brown cardstock. I stayed with the polka-dot theme and punched out some brown cardstock dots and attached them to the side panel of the card.
To stay consitent with the embellies, I added a button on the inside as well.
To get your crafty mojo moving, make sure you check out the fab creations from our talented Design Team the get creating and add your creation via Mr. Linky over at Dude Time Doodles!
I am entering this card in the following challenges:
One Stop Craft Challenge "Just for Men"

For this blog hop, I chose Knock Out Nancy ... poor thing looks a bit rough but she’s a rough n’ tumble kinda gal and she can handle herself (you should see the other guy!). The sentiment is also from Dude Time Doodles. With all her bumps and bruises, I still wanted to make her girly so I used girly colors.
