September New Release Blog Hop

Welcome!  Welcome!!

All the Dudettes are so glad to see you today!  We have been having a ball celebrating Dude Time Doodles first birthday.  The Scavenger Crawl is going strong and you can still join in the fun here.  The Crawl doesn't end until next Tuesday evening, September 6th and there are many prizes to get your hands on.  Even a $20 gift certificate to the Dude Time Doodles store.

We have new citizens joining the Dudeville family each month and today we'll be introducing you to a few more.  We've hired a new postman and lawn boy.  Fanny Beach and Cleeve Climber are sharing some of their summer family vacation photos with us.  Ted Tight End came back into town for football training camp after the NFL lockout ended.  Hagar the Horrible and Fanny Witch are also on hand for the opening of Dudeville's new Halloween costume store.  We welcome them to our family with open arms. 
(At least until one of them gets caught being naughty!!)

Without further riff raff from me, 

let's begin our hop with Chrissy D.

(Hey, that rhymes!)

Chrissy's been feeling puny lately and Dr. Strangeglove gave her strict orders to stay in bed.  So, she will not be joining us for the hop.  All of us at Bonibleaux Designs and Dude Time Doodles wish her a speedy recovery and can't wait for her to get back to her craft table!  Be sure to leave her some love and get well wishes here and we'll be sure she gets them.

Now we're going to send you scampering over to Anne's blog.  She's sure to have some spectacular project to show you.  But, just in case you get lost here's all of the stops along the way.

Our hops are always circle hops.  So, no matter where you get on as long as you go full circle, you'll see each and every new image being released today.

All of the new images will be available in the store starting at 10 AM EST on August 31st.

*AND*

To make room for the new citizens of Dudeville, Dude Time Doodles will be putting all Halloween images (excluding Hagar and Fanny Witch) on sale for 50% off before they move away from Dudeville forever!!  The sale starts tomorrow, September 1st and will run throughout the month.  Grab these great images while you still can!!

First Annual Dudeville Hollow Scavenger Crawl

How dee!!!

The day is finally here!

It's time to celebrate Dude Time Doodles' birthday with our First Annual Dudeville Hollow Scavenger Crawl.  The band is performing their sound check.  The athletes are stretching.  Chef Burly Becky has the viddles all set out ready to eat and Mayor Boni will be here to start off the festivities.

We want to welcome our special guests and YOU.  We hope to inspire you and give away some goodies as we celebrate The Dudes turning one-year old. 

  The Dudettes and their special guests have created some awesome projects for this event.  As you "crawl" through their blogs, you'll need to search for the items on our scavenger list posted below.  The items you are looking for are ones that most dudes cannot - or maybe they can - live without.

Scavenger List

1.  rubber ducky

2.  fire hose

3.  maps

4.  money

5.  baseball bat

6.  rake

7.  green tights

8.  straw

9.  fire balls

10.  motorcycle

11.  bingo card

12.  ball and chain

13.  rays of sunshine

14.  musical note

15.  badges

16.  mug of beer

   

Copy and print the list.  As you crawl through the blogs, search for the items in the projects displayed.  As you find an item, make note of whose blog you found the item on.  The item should have a corresponding Dudette or Special Guest.

Once you have completed the crawl and have collected all the items, email your list to cmm5569@yahoo.com.  Only correct, full complete lists will be entered for a chance to win a $20 gift certificate from Dude Time Doodles.  The winner will be picked from the correct entries the evening of September 6th and announced here.  That gives you two weeks!!

This is a circle crawl, so no matter where you start, as long as you go full circle, you'll see everything there is to see.  But in case you get lost, you can always come back here and begin again.

August Inspirational Challenge

Howdee!!!

Wow, is everyone sweating?  What about water logged?  Or possibly digging out of snow drifts of record porportion?

Texas is having record high temperatures.  New England is having excessive flooding.  And New Zealand, well, they are having unprecedented snow fall.  I hope everyone is happy, healthy, and cool, dry, and warm!

Today marks our monthly inspirational challenge.  I'll give you a photo...here it is...

...and I also give you an extra push towards a theme.  This month it's to make your project sporty!!  That's right, with the NFL Lockout over, college and high school football starting in full swing in a couple weeks, and volleyball also starting soon, I've decided we need to celebrate our sports!

The Dudettes agreed with me and created some great projects to help you get your mojo working.  Let's see what they've been working on.


Linda is revving up Dale Isenhardt's motor with her tribute to the racing sports.

Penalty Pat is making the call for Ginny's creation.

Dawn's tribute to the surfing world has Waylon Waves hanging ten.

Football Phil is running for the touchdown on Lynn's team.

Some people might think Kyle Karate is only wanting to be able to protect himself, but Michelle knows it's really a sport.

Armchair Arnie and Tammy (okay and a lot of other people as well) believe that chugging beer should become an Olympic sport!

Banjo picking is an official competition at the Dudeville Holla Scavenger Crawl.  Chrissy plans on entering with Cletus.

NanaConnie and Football Phil know that football rules the land in the USA.

Anne knows you've got to start somewhere and Youth Football is where it's at.

Soccer rules across the pond in England for Rocco Soccer and Ruth.

Rodeo is the official sport of Texas!  Cleota has Rodeo Randy ready for his calf roping championship run.

And when all is said and done, Sammibug reminds us that Santi Beaches and some R&R is always the best.

Wow! The Dudettes are very passionate about their sports.  

The Rules of the Game

1. Use the photo / color inspiration and Dudette creations above to get your mojo moving.

2. You are not required to use BDD images although it would make us really really happy and 

giggle a lot if you did!

3. 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!

4. Be sure to use the InLinkz below to submit your creation.

Please remember that next week, August 24th, we will be hosting the First Annual Scavenger Crawl.  There will be prizes and a lot of fun to be had.  I hope you'll join us.

Thank you!

AUGUST GUEST DESIGNER / FREEBIE CHALLENGE

While others started making snowflakes, snowmen, and cute plump men in red suits attempting to get a head start on Christmas cards, the naughty Dudettes highjacked Dude Time Doodles' resident artist and locked him in a haunted house overnight.  He swears he met Gavin Ghost up close and too personal. We didn't believed him until we saw Gavin with our very own eyes. Naturally, he's a gentle, friendly ghost and wishes to help you get a head start creating for Halloween.
