Dude Time Doodles Challenge 30 - A Touch of Red

It's time for another Dude Time Doodles challenge! And we have a time appropriate theme for you too:

A Touch of Red

To find out more about the challenge and how to enter, please see the challenge blog - good luck with the challenge!

I've used Hero Henry and coloured him with Promarkers plus a little sparkle on his very white smile! All the papers are oddments from my box - all the blues are Polkadoodles and the red spotty is Funky Hand. The large red felt star was sent to me by Jenny (thank you!) and I've punched the smaller stars and added some glitter glue to them too. A bit of doodling and some corner rounding and my card is complete.

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Fetch A Sketch Challenge 4

Welcome to our fourth Fetch A Sketch challenge! Jenny is this fortnight's hostess with a rather wonderful sketch for you to work with. The winner from challenge three will be announced next Monday so please keep an eye out to see you if you were the lucky entrant! But remember, you have to be in it to win it!

We have the very generous and downright quirky Dude Time Doodles sponsoring challenge 4 and the prize is a $10 gift certificate to the store - Bonibleaux Designs. Always perfect for the pesky men in your life for whom a card is always difficult to construct!

And the sketch that we have for you to follow is:

Remember, you can flip it, rotate it, add your sentiment and extra embellishments where ever you like, but as long as we can recognise the sketch then we are happy bunnies! You can also use what ever products you like.

Jenny and I have had a play with some of the Dude Time Doodles images (I'm also on the Design Team too) and I've used one of my favourite images - Henry Hero who has been coloured with Promarkers.

All the papers and elements on the card are from the Not For Girls cd from Polkadoodle and I just love this collection of papers! It's been made for a special little boy to give to his Uncle who will be celebrating his birthday soon!

All the elements and Henry have been added with foam pads for extra dimension and its quite a large card - just slightly smaller than A5. Some of the elements have got a few foam pads behind them so it is quite a dimensional card!

The closing date is 12noon on Sunday 28 August and for more details and how to enter, please pop over to the challenge blog. Good luck!

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Birthday Sundaes: Birthday Wording (second disc from right)

Crafty Calendar: August - Hot Colours
Craft Your Days Away: Birthday

Dude Time Doodles Challenge 14 - Colour Inspiration

Welcome to the third Wednesday in the month and to the Dude Time Doodles photo inspiration challenge!

Don't forget to follow the inspiration board below - colours or theme or however it inspires you - and to make your card for a dude! We also want to see some humour but keep it clean!!

I've gone for Hero Henry (has to be one of my favourite designs!) who has been coloured with Promarkers and I've added a little sparkle to his wide smile! The backing paper was an inspired glance towards the wallpaper department whilst mooching around B&Q over one of the recent Bank Holidays. As you can take samples, I did just that and came away with enough to replicate this card 7 more times!


Henry has been added with foam pads so he stands a little proud of his background. And the sentiment is from Raindrop Echo Designs - I've glittered the edges and layered it onto some shiny red card from my stash. Added black card candy to the corners, inked the edges and the card is complete!

Good luck with the challenge! For more details visit the challenge blog!

Dude Time Doodles Challenge 6 - Inspiration - Anything But A Card

Welcome to another Dude Time Doodles challenge! This week it is an inspiration challenge to use the following image and to create something other than a card:


The Design Team have made some excellent projects so please do have a look! I've made some wobble head pencil toppers to stop the kids from biting the ends!

I've used KO Kurt, Jose Hosed, Mo and Henry Hero, all coloured with Promarkers then laminated. I've used oddments of card for the reverse and to hold the craft wire in place.


To enter the challenge you need to follow the theme, make something masculine and get your entry in by 25 January. Good luck!

Mr Fantastic!

The Papertake Weekly challenge is asking for:

A Penny For The Guy

So, a male card really! I've used a BBDesigns image - Hero Henry which I've coloured with Promarkers plus added a bit of glitter glue to his very fine set of teeth! The sentiment is computer generated and I've layered that and the image onto offcuts of card. And, if you look closely, I've had to cleverly work with the offcuts that I did have as I didn't have enough!


The backing paper is from Polkadoodles Not For Girls cd and is one of the best sheets of backing paper I've ever printed for a male card! A great superguy backing paper! I've added a bit of inking and doodling around the edges, some string and a button and that is it! And it's not a Christmas card! Actually, its to go in the Valentine card box! See how organised I sound?!
