Doodle Dragon Studios- Girl Power

We are going to have a fabulous time this week with our new challenge!!!  Before we get to the challenge I wanted to tell you that Dustin is changing up the Challenge rules a bit.  He is going to hold off on the Pikes Points system for a while and go back to the "Winners get an image".  The good news is you can enter as many times as you want again.  He wants to spend  time drawing more images for you instead of trying to make sure everyone has gotten their points for the store.  You want more images right?  So, lets get back to playing already!!

This weeks challenge is GIRL POWER.  Using one of Dustin's images create something a little bit girly, or a lot girly...that is up to you.

The DoodleDragon Crew has come up with some fantastic creations to give you some inspiration.  Somehow each one has used some form of pink (go figure!)

 II am going to enter this brave young lady in the following challenges:

Little Claire's- Things with Wings

Inspire Me Fridays- Anything Goes

Sew Many- Anything Goes

SFTW- Four Legs

As always thanks for stopping by, hope to see you again soon.

Happy Crafting :0)

I've been featured...

On Inspire Me Fridays blog...yay me :0)


Dudetime Doodles card by Ginny @ My 5Bratz Creations!
what a fun masculine card Ginny!

Flowers for Norway

We are all saddened to hear about the terrible tragedy in Norway. Karen has made an image as a tribute to the victims and is generously offering it as a freebie, here. While we can't stop evil in the world, we can support our friends in Norway and show them that we care.  

Maybe you can make a card, post it on your blog with a message or send it to a charity to honor of the victims. Or print out the image for your child to color. Please post your ideas or links to your cards in the comment section. We would love to see our friends in Norway flooded with your generosity.

Karen's Doodles new challenge

I can do the happy dance in public now and reveal that I am now a member of Karen's Doodles Design Team..yay me :0) I am very honoured and can't wait to start working with everyone else.

Dudetime Doodles JULY SKETCH CHALLENGE

Today begins this month's sketch challenge and the Dudettes have done a banged-up job bringing you their wonderful creations for the sketch.

It is such a pleasure to tell you that once again Creative Inspirations is our sponsor for this month's sketch challenge and they will be awarding the winner 4 jars of their wonderful iridescent water-based paint, bling in a bottle! And good news, as of July 1st, they have added Jeweled Inspirations and Metallic Inspirations to accompany the 55 beautiful colors already on their color palette. If you are unfamiliar with their use, our lovely Anne did a tutorial for you yesterday using the paints. For more examples and further information, please visit Creative Inspirations' blog.

THE SKETCH

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 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!

Kyle Karate

Now it's your turn to use the sketch. Check back next Tuesday, July 12 to see if you are the lucky winner of 4 jars of Creative Impressions Paint.

One last thing before you go and that is a sneak peek at next Wednesday's freebie.

Thank you!
