Just a quick shout out for my friend Becky who has recently started blogging!

All she's asking is that you are a genuine follower, you post the candy  

with a link back on your side bar & you leave a comment.

You'll need to check back after the 26th November to see if you're a winner!

Doh! Just realised I've reduced my chances by sharing!!! lol!

Good Luck!!

Hello World!

Happy Hump Day all!

It's Wednesday & time for a Dude Time Doodles Challenge!

In the past, the first week of the month has been a sketch challenge but
we've mixed it up & this week we'd like you to make a card/project for 

one of November's Special Day's

I chose World Hello Day which is November 21st

You can read a little about it here if you're interested!

Here's my card!

I've just got back from holidays & while I was there, 

I was inspired by the chef's who did the 

"Show Cooking" in our hotel!

They could not only say hello to all of the guests in their own language 

but also understand what they wanted cooked for them!

I made a 5" x5" square card blank for the base card. 

The papers I have used are from Papermania.

I directly printed hello in 10 different languages around the edge 

of the first paper, then matted it onto some red linen card stock. 

Next I added some bakers twine on either side,

tying a little metal charm on one side.

I added the second paper in three sections.

The image I have used is of course from 

Bonibleaux Designs at Dude Time Doodles 

& he's called Chef Burly Becky!

He's immaculate in his chef's whites & a whizz at spinning his whisk 

as well as being a wonderful chef!

I coloured him up with promarkers then cut him to shape & inked the edges.

I also added a little Card Candi detail

Here you can see the little charm a bit closer up!

I added a matt of the red card & one of white card which I had inked,

 to the inside of the card.

I hope you like my card & I hope you can play along with the 

Dude & Dudettes at Dude Time Doodles this week!

Here's a quick reminder of the rules:

1. Make a creation for one of November's Special Days as listed above & use the 

   Dudettes creations for inspiration!

2. You're NOT required to use BDD images although it would really make us happy & giggle a lot 

    (yep even Kevin!!!) if you did!

3. Your creation must be masculine themed, you can use humour, innuendo, be a little 

    sarcastic even but it has got to be for a DUDE!

4. Use the InLinkz at Dude Time Doodles to submit your creation!

I'd like to submit my card in a few challenges as listed below!

Happy Sunday all!

It feels like an age since I've been here! 

Last weeks posts were scheduled as I was off on my jolly hols 

in beautiful sunny Lanzarote!

We had a great time with lots of R&R!

My thanks go to the other DT ladies for filling in for me!

Now onto this weeks DT card for The Crafty Pad!

Where the theme for Challenge #145 is

Friendship!

Here's my card!

I used a 5" X 5" white square card blank for the base.

The DT were given the Oh So Cute!

Roshell Friends With Basket to use!

This image is available as a digi for you to colour as well as a coloured version!

As I was short of time I opted to use the coloured version!

I think you'll agree it's really lovely!

The pics don't quite do it justice I'm sorry!

The Papers & buttons I used were from a Papermania Capsule Collection & I 

think they go perfectly with the colours in the image!

I used a nestie to cut out Roshelle & her friend then inked the edges.

I created the circle sentiment in my graphics programme & cut it out 

with a smaller nestie & again inked the edges.

I added the 'hope ribbon' symbol as this card is going to a friend who will appreciate that.

I then remembered I had a little metal 'hope' charm which fit almost perfectly 

I also added some bakers twine detail

The inside was decorated to match & I shouldn't tell you but in my haste 

I managed to stick the panel on the wrong side!!!! LOL!

I'm sure we've all managed that at some point right?!

I so needed that holiday!!!!

Now that I'm back I'll just do the other side to match!

Our sponsor this week is the fantastic Michelle's Scrap

who is offering this fabulous rubber stamp as the prize!

I hope you can join us for the Challenge!

Don't forget to check out the other awesome creations by the

other DT members!

As ever, I'd like to add this card to some challenges which are tracked by the lovely ladies at Feline Playful! Thanks Ladies you do an awesome job!
