DudeTime Doodles Sketch #3 Challenge

This month at DTD, with love in the forecast, and in time for Valentine's day, to entice you into joining the Sketch Challenge, the design team is showcasing new images from Bonibleaux Designs "Will" You Marry Me? He's on one knee and he brought the bling; Ride Like the Wind "Rocky" is decked out in his leathers, showing his love for his Momma and looking to take you on the ride of your life; Zeke Zorro the passionate Spanish lover and Putt-Putt Hearts, which are a great accessory to any or all of these images. THE RULES You will have one week to flip the Sketch, twist the Sketch, work the Sketch and submit the Sketch. You are not required to use Bonibleaux Designs Digis although it would make us really really happy and giggle a lot if you did! MUST be a masculine themed card, you can use humor, innuendo, be a little naughty, sarcastic, but it has got to be for a DUDE! I am so happy to tell you that the awesome Ann V, creator of a beautiful collection of sentiments [digital word art] and custom watermarks that can be found at Raindrop Echo Designs and Hostess with the Mostest of Sentimental Sundays has generously provided three great prizes for this challenge and don't forget, the winners will receive a badge from Dude Time Doodles.

Tiddly Inks-- Movie Magic Challenge

WooHoo...you are in for another great challenge this week-- Movie Magic... The challenge over at Tiddly Inks was to create a card inspired by your favorite summer movie! I'm not much into t.v...... And for the life of me, I really couldn't think of a single movie to make something with for this challenge. So instead of a movie, I went with a collection of books that I listen to on cd's. I wish they would make a movie out of this girl ...I think it would make for some great comical viewing....It's called The Goldy Schulz Series . She's a caterer and it seems like no matter what catering job she has, there is always something that goes wrong/murder happening....she's so comical yet very high strung....I loved this collection and I look forward to the next when it comes out....so I took one of Chrisy's newest images, Cup of Love-the Lilly Bean series that I thought portrays Goldy........isn't she just the cutest? I used a Let's Celebrate greeting as I thought of Goldy saying that in her series.....most often Caterers cater parties to celebrate something.....

...........................................................................

Well that's what I have for the challenge this week....make sure you stop on over and visit the rest of the DT's creations......then hop over to the store and purchase these little darlings for yourself. Christy is offering 20% off with a minimum purchase of $15.00.....

Tiddly Inks Window Challenge

WOOT WOOT!!!! This is my first post with Tiddly Inks as a Guest Designer (WOOT WOOT!!! Thanks Christy for inviting me), how cool is that....I really enjoy using your images....it's like they speak to me....lol....just imagine that while you're sleeping, you have this dream of those funky trees swooshing in the wind from side to side while you, the masked avenger, is trying to find your way back to the par-ta at The Light. And the whole way back you have to fight off all that Gothic Cuteness that is trying to stop you from getting back to your date with Mr. Snowman Sid (come on now--you just had to know I needed a snowman in there somewhere...lol).....When you came across Lilly, and she reminded you of WHo Loves You, that got you more determined to get away from The Inky Boys, and get back alive, to be with your Friends and eat some of those scrumptious cupcake's.....

................................................

Ha Ha!!!! Had 'ya going, didn't I...lol.....I really don't dream about images.....well not to date anyways.....I do however try to use them in ways other than what they are intended for.....so if you click on the names above in the little dream, it will take you to the links in the store so you can see for yourself how darling these images are to play with.....you truly won't be disappointed.....or you can click here and be taken right to the store.....Christy is offering a 20% off a $15.00 order.....so what the heck are you waiting for.....GO--NOW!!!!! LOL!!!!! On a lighter note---Here's my card for this weeks challenge which was to make a window project.....ENJOY!!!!!!!!!

.................................................

Here I used the Sunny Hugg A Bug image....and, yep, I used Copics again...and a little distress inks....cut a window from the front of the card and added the image to the opening....

here's the inside....just a super simple little card....I really like how it turned out....

............................................
