Greetings All!

Good Morning & Happy Wednesday all!

It's Inspiration Time At Dude Time Doodles!

For this weeks challenge, we'd like to see you

 "Add A Sentiment"

Here's my project!

I decided to use Breast Cancer Awareness Girl for another cause!

Whilst I was chatting to a neighbour about my fundraising for

Breakthrough Breast Cancer

and the reasons behind it, he told me that he was in 

the midst of treatment for Prostate Cancer.

He was really positive about it & I was inspired to make a card for him!

I looked up the ribbon colour for Prostate Cancer & it seems to be 

light blue hence the colours on my card!

my image was coloured with a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers.

The base card was cut with a Grand Nestability then I added a 

smaller shaped piece of the spotty DP which has been in my stash for ever &

was from Do Crafts about a million years ago! lol

The sentiment was part of the set, I inked the edges of the image & the 

sentiment then added a blue ribbon (recycled off of a dressing gown) 

& some little blue self adhesive pearls.

As the card is for a man, I wanted it to be fairly Clean & Simple 

so I stopped there!

Here is the back of the card, just to let you see that I have cut a slice off

of the bottom to help it stand up & stop it rolling about!
Inside the card is lined with a plain insert cut with the Grand nestie.

I do hope he likes it & gets a chuckle!

Thanks for stopping by, now head on over to Dude Time Doodles

 to see what the rest of the team have made for your inspiration!
We also have a sponsor this week!

Create With TLC

is offering one lucky winner a $10 Gift Certificate for her store!

The Snowman!

Happy Wednesday all!

We're almost there!! Yay!!!

It's time for a new challenge at 

Dude Time Doodles!

This week, we want to see a project inspired by 

Your Favourite Christmas Movie!

Now, I was torn as I have so many favourites but.....

Yep, I love The Snowman!!!

I also love all the old Black & White movies!

 I opted to go monochrome to reflect this!!!

The image I have used is called

Duck The Snowman Warrior

he is of course from Dude Time Doodles

I've used him before on this card

I used a 5"x5" card blank 

The layout was the sketch from

Scrap & Stamp Sketch Challenge

The DP I have used was courtesy of Jak Heath.

She added these freebies to her blog just as I was looking for a B&W paper!

Thanks Jak!!!

I coloured the snowman with Promarkers.

 I liquid embossed the snowballs using Anita's 3D Gloss & some glittery bits

 to the snow & the snowman with my Sakura Clear Star pen!

I cut him out with a nestie & also cut out a matt of 

plain black to go behind him.

The only additional embellishments I added were 3 black self adhesive gems.

I decorated the inside of the card a little to tie in with the front.

I enjoy doing this as it's a change from adding inserts, 

it helps to balance out the weight of the card too!

Thanks for looking & I hope you can find time to play in our latest challenge at

Dude Time Doodles!!!

Climbers Rock & Hop!!!

Hi all, it's time for the New Release blog hop at Dude Time Doodles!

Are you ready, steady, go!!!

If you got here from Lynn's blog you're on the right track!

If you happened here first, not to worry, it is as usual a circle hop 

& there is no true beginning & of course no end!

So without further ado, let me introduce you to 

Cleeve Climber!

He's an all out hard core rock climbing dude who thinks nothing of rocking up 

& climbing to the highest peak! 

With his back pack & bedroll on his back, he's prepared for anything.

Perhaps even Everest or K2,!

If you're anxious to continue on the hop, your next port of call is Ruth.

If you want to read more about my card read on!

I'll add the order of the hop later, just in case anyone gets a bit lost!

Of course, I just had to make a rocker card. 

I decided to keep it quite simple.

I cut a circle from some card stock, distressed the edge with some 

scissors & folded in half.

I coloured the image with Promarkers & cut out with an oval nestie!

I then matted that onto a scalloped oval of the same card stock as the base card.

I added a smaller circle of design paper from my stash! 

On reflection I would have done this differently & 

cut the paper in half but hey ho, it's too late now baby!

I added a little coiled up rope made with twine & a little shovel charm

I created the circle sentiment in my graphics programme, 

cut out with a nestie & coloured with Promarkers

That's really is all there was to it!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy the rest of the hop!

The order is as follows

As I will be fast asleep when this post goes live, 

(I need all the beauty sleep I can get at my age! lol!)

I have linked to the participating blogs. 

When I arise from my slumbers, I will link directly to the Scavenger Crawl Posts.

Now, read on to find out more about my card & my candy!

I used the fabulous Merle Molar image from 

Bonibleaux Designs to adorn my Tee Pee Card!

I coloured him with Promarkers, cut him out with a nestie 

& added some Glossy Accents to his glasses!

The Funny Circle Sentiment is from TLC Creations & was printed onto 

Safmat from Letraset before being stuck onto plain cardstock & cut out with a 

Scalloped Circle Nestie. I also printed a Good Luck In Your New Job Sentiment Ticket 

(Created especially for me by Debbie at The Crafty Pad Designs)

onto the Safmat & stuck it onto the image!

For those of you who are not aware,

 I work as a Dental Nurse & my very own  Merle Molar AKA, 

the Dentist I was working with, has decided to leave town 

& move on to a training post on the other side of Scotland!

That's the reason for the road map DP 

(it's actually a page from an AA road map!

Don't tell my OH he may not understand! lol)

The Unique sentiment tickets are from Sentiments 4 You

& were also printed onto Safmat before being stuck onto the card!

There is also another Good Luck In Your New Job sentiment ticket.

 In my minds eye, these represented the 

old luggage labels you used to see on peoples suitcases!

I made a rosette also from the road map pages &

added another Good Luck In Your New Job ticket.

The card is held together with Bakers Twine!

Phew!

Now for my Candy!

I will be offering one lucky commenter a set of these!

Just what you need for your dude cards,

& a girl can never have too many Promarkers!

If I get lot's of comments, I might even add another little something!

Before I list the challenges I'd like to enter my card in,

I have some more fantastic news for you from Dudeville Holla!
