Congratulations! and DT Call

It's time for another Cards for Men Challenge!  We have some fab entries for our Kicking Back Challenge and we can hardly wait to see what you have for us this time!

"Congratulations" is our theme and we want to see the word "Congratulations" somewhere in or on your creation.

The winner of this challenge will receive a fab prize from our sponsor Meljen's Designs!

For my project I created a graduation card using Grad Cap and Grad Diploma both by Meljen's.  I colored the images with my Copics and also colored the chipboard key then added some glitter to sparkle it up.  For the "congratulations" portion of our challenge, I used background paper that already had the word printed. The sentiment is in the Graduation Sentiments set by Raindrop Echo Designs.


For some fab inspiration, check out the amazing projects by my fellow members of the Cards for Men Design Team!  If you would like to join this fab team, make sure you add "DT" at the end of your name when you link your project.  

Challenges:

Bloggers Challenge - For the Graduate
Card Crafter's Circle - Sparkle, Sparkle
4 Crafty Chicks - Graduation
Cute Card Thursday - Touch of Sparkle
Paper Pretties - Graduation

My Dad is a Hero

Hopefully y'all will have some energy left after our last anything goes challenge!  There were so many amazingly creative projects, well done ladies!

Our next challenge at Aud Sentiments is "Fathers".   You must use a form of the word Dad in your sentiment, such as Dad, Daddy, Father, Papa, etc.

Our sponsor for this challenge is Ellaphantastic

Ellephantastic is very honoured to sponsor this challenge.  Hi I am Helen.  I suffer with CFS/ME & found a few years ago I could no longer work due to my illness.  To give myself something to do (when feeling well) I decided to go back to my roots ... crafting!  I grew up drawing, knitting & 'Cutting & Sticking'  Now I like to do all kinds of paper crafting, card making, altered art, knitting & sewing.  I also design & draw my own digital art.  My fun hobby has unintentionally grown into a li'l crafty business for me which I am loving.  There is nothing I like better than to put a smile on someone's face because of my crafting :0) You can order & buy a lot of my work from my shop.  You can also buy some crafting proucts.

The winner will receive 4 images of their choice!

The image I used is "Super Rog'".  When I saw this image I knew right away I was going to the Super Hero paper from Close to My Heart.  Unfortunately I really didn't use the paper to its full potential!

I used my Copic Markers on the image and Nestabilities to cut out the circles.  I added some ribbon and cord as well as white iRock gems.

Since my bro's name is Roger I think I'll use the same image and try my hand at using the Super Hero paper again on his birthday card!

On a personal note, this is my last submission as a member of the Aud Sentiments Design Team.  I've had a great run but need to focus my time an energy on my family.  Motocross season has started so our weekends are spent travelling to races around the central interior of BC and as much as I'd love to, I just can't craft at the track!!

Challenges:

Card Patterns - Sketch 164
Divas by Design - One for the Boys
Crafty Cardmakers - For the Boys

The Joke's on You! DTD Challenge

In honor of April Fool's Day, we are having a "Joke's on You" Challenge at Dude Time Doodles!

The winner of this challenge will win 3 Dude Time digis of their choice!

This cheeky little dog is Muttley DooDoo. I colored him up with Copics and the papers I used are from the Weekend Market pack by Bo Bunny.

See, told you he was one cheeky Mutt! Hope this brought a smile to your face!

Now make sure you check out the creations from the FAB Dude/Dudette Design Team, they will have you rollin' in laughter (not doodoo like Muttley!).

It is with a heavy heart that I will be leaving the Dude Time Doodles family. This was my first Design Team opportunity and I hold them all dear to my heart. I have had an amazing ride and I hope that I will be able to return again one day.

I am finding that I am not able to get into my craft "dungeon" as often as I like and with the good weather just around the corner, Motocross season is just beginning. My youngest son races so there will be many weekends on the road!

I'm sure I will see you all in Blogland, Happy Crafting!
