Boogers

I was stuck on what kinda card to make for my girlfriend Crystal. It wasn't until we were sittin' around the campfire and the topic of boogers came up.
After some hysterical laughter I knew exactly what digi I was going to use. I remembered Crazy Marlooney had used Abby from Digi's with Attitude and had created a perfect birthday sentiment to go along with it.

Happy Birthday Crystal, you booger!

Merry & Bright

Woo hoo, my third Christmas card! If it wasn't for the Christmas challenge blogs I wouldn't be up to number 3!
This adorable robin digi is from Just Some Lines. I didn't want to use the typical robin colors so I opted for "merry & bright", jeez I crack myself up (pathetic, I know). I used glossy accents to her beak and used some stickles to outline the hat. The sentiment is by Stamping Bella.
I will be entering this card in the following challenges:
Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenge "Robins"
Digi Doodle "Anything Goes"
Craftyhazelnut's Christmas Challenge "At least 3 layers"

Dudeville Holla Scavenger Crawl + Candy

YeHaw!! The First Annual Dudeville Holla Scavenger Crawl celebrating the Dude Time Doodles 1st birthday is finally here!

We have planned a special circle crawl for this fine event so all you gotta do is visit each Dudette, along with our special guests and check out their fine work. As an added bonus, several Dudettes and guests are giving away candy!! If you've arrived here from Anne's blog, you're on the right track.

To win, a $20 gift certificate to DTD, all you have to do is find all the items on the scavenger list throughout the crawl. To get the scavenger list, head on over to Dude Time Doodles - each item is with a specific Dudette or special guest and it's something our dude's can't live without (or maybe they can but we won't let them!), then email your answers to cmm5569@yahoo.com.

The winner will be announced on the evening of September 6th - that gives everyone two weeks to participate.

As an added bonus, I will be giving away a $10 gift certificate to Dude Time Doodles to one lucky follower. Details on how to enter is at the end of this post.
Since ya'll are hunting for things our Dude's can't live without, I decided to create something for my dude to show him how much I appreciate all he does: yard work like Leif Blower, Mr. Fix it stuff like Ernie Carpenter and of course, unplugging those toilets as well as Pete Plumber!




Now git goin' and finish your crawl ...your next stop is Lynn's creation. If you get sidetracked along the way just follow the list:
