Dude Time Doodles Final Blog Hop!

Well, here it is! 

The last ever Dude Time Doodles New Release Blog Hop!

Or is it........

The Dude & Dudette's would like to thank you for playing along 

with us over the last few months! It's been a blast!

Today we have 4 new images to showcase for you!

Make sure you get in quick if you want them as the 

Dude Time Doodles store 

closes it's doors forever on December 15th! Boo Hoo :'(

If you're already hopping you'll have landed

here from the lovely Ruth's Blog. If you've just happened 

on the hop you can carry on from here! It's a circle hop with 

no true beginning & no end!

Here's my card!

I've made a square card with embossed panels which I

chalked & then matted onto some mirror card.
The embossing folder is Papermania I think,
I've had it since last year so I'm not sure!

The image is Twas The Night Before.

I coloured it up with promarkers & flexmarkers

I matted that onto mirror card too!

If you're anxious to hop on, don't forget to leave a comment as 

there is a mystery host & one lucky comment will win a

Dude Time Doodles image!

From here you want to visit our Dude Kevin

Here's a last look at my card before you go!

I added some little star buttons from my stash, added a peel off

sentiment & tied some bakers twine around the top, finishing with a little bow!

I think a twine bow is almost acceptable on a man/boy's card! lol

Thanks for hopping by & have fun on the rest of the hop!

It's time for the latest challenge at Dude Time Doodles.

This week is an Inspiration Challenge

Here's my card!

We'd like to see you make a Holiday Creations for a man,

your project can be either Christmas/Hannukah!

I made a twisted easel card using kraft card for my base.

The papers are from the Black & Silver Christmas Background Paper 

pad by Southfield Stationers. I think these colours are just right

for making cards for men!

The image I've used is Bloodhound Christmas, it's available in the 

Dude Time Doodles store

Every time I look at that image, it reminds me of the mayhem & fun

which results in our family get together's at Christmas!

Always a real hoot I have to say! lol

I coloured my image with Promarkers & Flexmarkers

then distressed the edges with a Colourbox chalk inkpad.

Here's another view.

I kept my card simple, matting the design papers with

plain black paper. I then made some little corners with a snowflake paper

& I used the sentiment as the stop for my easel section. 

The ribbon trim was a gift, I'm not sure how well

you can see it in the photo but it's black & silver too!

I'd like to enter the following challenges with this card:

DTD Fall Colours

Good morning crafty bloggers!

It's the first Wednesday of the month which means it's time

for a new challenge at Dude Time Doodles!

This week we'd like to see you use Fall Colours on your creations!

Here's mine!

I made a square card using Fall/Autumn papers from Lidl

The edges of the papers were distressed with

a pair of serrated edge scissors!

The image is Ride Like The Wind Rocky!

I coloured Rocky with Promarkers & Flexmarkers, trying

to keep to fall colours. I streaked in a background with my Flexmarkers

& smudged it with some fluid chalk ink-pads

I wrapped some twine around my paper & secured with a knot, 

topping it off with a button which was in a bag I got from

 Woodware they're all different & some of them are just amazing!

Not sure if the numbers are a speed limit or something else???

I cut them out with my Cricut then put them through my paper ribbler.

I have decorated the inside of the card too but didn't get a photo!

Thanks for stopping by! 

Don't forget to check out the other DT samples

over at Dude Time Doodles then create your own

DTD 2nd Anniversary Party Sale Blog Hop

Good morning beautiful bloggers

It's Wednesday & that means it's time for the  

Dude Time Doodles Blog Hop!

If you're following the hop, you'll have dropped in from
the awesomely talented Tammy!
I'm sure she had something wonderful to show you!

If my blog is the first stop, then just keep on hopping until you've been 

round all the stops! Don't forget to leave some love 

along the way, as there may be a little surprise for one lucky commenter!!

This month we don't have any new releases for you but instead we have
a fantabulous 50% off Anniversary Party Sale!

Dude Time Doodles is 2 years old whoop whoop!

To celebrate, all of the images you see along the hop as well as a 

few others are on Special Offer from today until 13th November.
There are in fact an amazing 37 images on sale! Whoopppeee!

Here's my card!

I've actually used three images on my card.

I've merged them in my graphics programme!

Pop on over to the store to see them in their original format!

Kris Jingle

O' Christmas Tree

Presents

If you're in a rush, you can hop on over to the next stop,

our wonderful October Guest Dudette Esther, 

who will no doubt astound you with her creation!

If not read on for a little more info about my card!
I used the sketch

from Stars & Stamps for my card design.
I altered the shapes slightly.

Kris looks like he's already been celebrating & getting right 

in to the spirit of things! lol

The images were coloured using a mix of Promarkers, 

Flexmarkers & Sakura pens.

My DP is from Papermania, I've had it in my stash for ages!

I cut out the image with a nestie&  used a little gold inkpad 

to distress all of the edges !

I wrapped the panel with Bakers Twine & added a little 

Christmas tree charm.

The circle sentiment is from my stash & has been printed out from last year.

Not sure where it came from, I have a feeling it may be Sentiments 4 You,

which is temporarily closed, but I can't be sure!

As I usually do, I've added a little decoration inside my card!

So now the time has come for you to head off to Esther

As I said earlier, leave a little love along the way as 

there may be a little surprise for one lucky commenter!

Happy hopping & don't forget the shopping!

Happy Hump Day bloggers!

Thanks for stopping by my blog today!

We the Dude & Dudette's have been given a week off from 

Dude Time Doodles this week as there is no challenge but....

Here is the card I have to share with you today!

The image is Bedazzled Beth!

She's a total knockout don't you think? 

I love her little 'familiar' in the form of a cat too!

Beth is from Dude Time Doodles!!! lol

If you entered the BCA challenge at Link Up For Pink

You might have been lucky enough to get her for free!

She's perfect for Halloween & especially for a Halloween Birthday!

Such attention to detail, just look at those killer heels! 

I coloured Beth up with a selection of promarkers & flexmarkers

then distresses the edges & inked them.

I added some Diamond Sparkles for a few highlights!

Must say they look a bit green in the photo but it was the only way 

I could capture the sparkle!

The sentiment is from a free sheet by Caz & was lying 

just beside me at the right time!

The ribbons & buttons were from my stash

The gauze was salvaged from work  as it hadn't been used

& was about to go in the bin as it was past it's use by date.

It started out white but I attacked it with a black promarker

et voila! Inky fingers!! Lol, you can still see the odd wisp of white!

The base card is orange & I matted the DP, another freebie from
the set by Michelle Stone,& the image onto black paper.

I lightly decorated the inside too! 

I love doing this as I feel it gives the card balance & looks 

a bit more exciting than a plain old insert!
Thanks again for stopping by!

 Can you guess the theme?

It's  'Happy Halloween' & remember your card must be for a Dude

The image I have used this time is

 Fanny Witch

Isn't she just fab?

She's all set to pick up her young man for

a spooky night out on her broomstick!

I made the sentiment using a

free font  called 'Witches Magic'
 you can find it  here

The DP I have used is by

  Michelle Stone  at Free Digital Scrapbooking

I've distressed the edges of the image & the sentiment

then inked them up. I added some recycled black ribbon

which was originally around a gift & some Card Candi.

Think Pink! October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Good Morning Bloggers!

Last month I did some  fundraising for
 Breakthrough Breast Cancer

I had my head shaved & ran a couple of card making challenges!
As a result of this, I heard stories from many people about how they
or a  loved one had been touched by Breast Cancer!

I was so touched by some of the stories, I felt I wanted to send a card.
This is one of the cards I made!

The image & the sentiment are part of a set from

 Dude Time Doodles

Here's a closer look at

Breast Cancer Awareness Girl Set

I coloured the image with a combination of my 

Promarkers & Flexmarkers

The sentiment is one of several included.

I distressed it a bit, cut it out with a Spellbinders Die 

& threaded some lace through it.

DP By Mujka Chic at  My Grafico.

I punched some flowers using my Tonic Punches

 & layered them up adding a gem to the centre of each.

Here's a photo of the inside!

Thanks to everyone's generosity, the

 total for my fundraising so far is an awesome 

£2946.90

If you haven't donated yet & you'd like to help me round up

my figures to a nice tidy sum, you can find out how to 

do just that on my Just Giving Page.

This month is Breast Cancer Awareness Month!

I urge you to check for any changes at least once a month.

Early detection is the key!

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Hump Day all!

It's Wednesday & that means super new challenge at 

Dude Time Doodles!

The theme this week is

Home Improvements (with the tool man!)

Here's my card!

I made a 6x6 inch card base from my brand new Kraft cardstock.

It's pretty CAS as my stash is still packed up in boxes!

One day we'll be finished with all the DIY & redecorating here!

The image I have used is Pierre Painter, he's a real perfectionist & when

 he's decorating it takes him forever to do the cutting in! lol

I coloured him up with my Promarkers

I made the sentiment in my graphics programme.

I added some ink distressing to the edges.

I decorated the inside of my card a little.

The DP I've used is a freebie from Mujka Chic @ My Grafico.

The Ric Rac has been in my stash forever, I had loads of it!
I think it's from Anita's I'm so glad to finally be using it up!
Make sure you check out the Dude & Dudette's creations at

Blue For You!

Good morning all!

It's Wednesday already can you believe it!

Time for the new challenge at

Dude Time Doodles

 This time it's a colour challenge

Use two or more shades of Blue

The image I have used is Benny Hanna, don'tcha just love him!

I brought him to life with my Promarkers, then inked the 

edges with a little chalk ink pad!

I tried to come up with a real punny sentiment but I'm afraid

all I could think of was "don't lose your head"

I did find a fab new free font called MA Fishy though!

As you can see, I made a Gatefold Card.

I love this style of card!

The paper I used was from the Oragami papers I have in my stash.

I decorated the inside of the card to complement the outside!

As you can see I used a length of royal blue ribbon from 

my stash to tie around it!

I'm still working with a limited amount of craft stuff as the house

is still upside down! I can't wait until it all gets sorted out so I can 

find some suitable furniture to house my stash in the spare bedroom!
