Born To Run!.....Or Is It Leap?

Good Morning all!
Happy Wednesday all! 
Are you ready for a  Blog Leap?
As it's the 29th of February, we've decided to Leap instead of Hop!
Yep, it's time to show off the newest arrivals in Dudeville Hollow!
AKA Dude Time Doodles 
Meet Jon Jogger! 
He ran all the way from the UK to Dudeville 
& he never looked back!!!
Wonder what he was running from???
Do you think it might have been an unwelcome proposal???
It is the 29th of february after all!!! lol

When I was colouring Jon up, I was singing Bruce Springsteen's
Personally, the only running I have ever done is for a bus! lol


If you've landed here from the wonderfully talented Anne, you're on the 
right track for the Leap! If not, just keep Leaping & you will 
get around all the blogs! It's a circle Leap with no beginning & no end.

So now. if you're anxious to get on with the Leap, pop on over & visit 
our Kevin, the only Dude among the Dudettes!
Before you rush off though, don't forget about the mystery host!!!
Make sure you leave a comment each time you Leap as one of us 
will have an image to give away to one lucky commenter!

Here's a bit more about our man Jon!
Although now resident in Dudeville Hollow
Jon is still flying the flag of his homeland!!
I made an A6 Easel Card. The Design Papers are from Southfield Stationers.


I coloured Jon with my Promarkers & I added some Anita's 3d Glaze to
his eye & the beads of sweat. Shame you can't really see it on the photo!


I threaded some ribbon through the card & made a little rosette out of 
seam binding & buttons from my stash which I stuck to my card using 
pinflair glue to give some dimension. 
The stop is the front section of the base which was raised 
also using pinflair glue


I added some ribbon and a Sentiment Ticket to the stop. 
This was also coloured with Promarkers


Here's an angle view just to let you see the construction!
Thanks for stopping by! 
I hope you have time to Leap round all the stops!
If you get a bit lost, pop on over to the challenge blog & take it from there!
Oh yes, forgot to say, when this post goes live I'll be snuggled up 
getting my beauty sleep! Goodness knows I need all I can get!!!
I'll change the links when I get up in the morning so they take you 
directly to the Blog Leap posts & not just the blogs!

  46. Oh my gosh, how fun! He might be running from an ardent lady suitor or perhaps he's training for the Summer Olympics! Whatever he is doing, he's doing it really well and it looks marvelous on this clever card! Loving the image, the embellishments, and the wonderful use of color on this card, it's so happy! Very upbeat and fun!
