November Inspirational Challenge

Hello! Hello!!  Hello!!!

I'm so glad you've come for a visit today.  The Dude and Dudettes have truly out done themselves with my little challenge this week and I can't wait to show off their creations.

First, here's the challenge.  Use the below photo to inspire your creation.  Use the colors, the images, the sentiment.  Whatever you wish out of the photo, but you have to follow...

THE RULES

1. Use the photo / color inspiration and the Dude 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. You can use humor, innuendo, be a little naughty, sarcastic.  As long as your project is masculine

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

This month, we have an awesome new sponsor.

The winner will receive a Sushi Stamp Set from Graphicat Designs, pictured here:

Is that not absolutely awesome!  I know exactly what image those digi sentiments would go famously with!!

Now, let's take a look at the the Dude and Dudette's creations.

Dawn has paper pieced Fanny Thanks hair and dress in her fantastic easel card.

Fanny Thanks is looking fabulous in another paper pieced creation by Anne.

CG used Bountiful Blessings for her colorful card.

Arnie Armchair is looking like he's took the inspiration sentiment to heart in Ginny's fabulous piece.

Kevin's embellished with some beautiful feathers to accent Fanny Thanks golden delicious turkey.

Hippie Rocker looks like he might have had a little too much red wine with his Thanksgiving dinner in Linda's easel card.

Cleota has Patty Pilgrim serving up some scrumptious hot apple pie (and she followed the current Graphicat Design Challenge sketch)!!

Tom Tom Turkey has seen too many Chick-fil-a commercials and wants everyone to eat pizza for Thanksgiving in Michelle's creation.

Fanny Thanks is so thoughtful in Ruth's delightfully red greeting.

Tammy's brightly colored Bountiful Blessings creation looks good enough to gobble!!

So there you have it!  All the inspiration one could ever ask for.  Now grab a cup of hot cocoa (go ahead and add the mini marshmallows - it's fun), your favorite crafting products and creation to your hearts content.

Just be sure you link up your project with Mr. Linky below before next Tuesday evening at 8 PM for a chance to win sentiment stamp set from Graphicat Designs!!

November New Release Blog Hop

Hello Hello!!

Glad you've stopped by to pay all of us a visit today.  We're winding down our breast cancer awareness month challenges.  We've all enjoyed having the Dudes support their Dudettes by wearing pink.  We've treasured our chests, helped save the tatas, the hooters, and second base, and we hope that all of you ladies will take care of your racks by making sure to do monthly self exams and yearly mammograms!  

Now...a word from our sponsor.  heehee

The Dudettes want to introduce you to a Dude!  Yes, that's right...a Dude!  You may remember, Kevin, who was our Guest Designer for October.  We invited him to stay on permanent like and he's accepted!  So, we now have a Dude in our midst! Ladies, watch out.

At the same time we are welcoming a new member, we're unfortunately having to say so long and fare thee well to a few of our Dudettes.  


Chrissy D.


Lynn


NanaConnie


This will be their last blog hop as a Dudette.  Please be sure to give them a fantastic Dudeville going away salute.  They will be missed, but we hope to see them around blogland and in challenges when they can.


And now for what you came for...


the new images!!  


Today we are introducing new citizens of Dudeville.  Garret Guard, Briley Soldier, and another BCA girl have moved to town.  Also some of Marlooney's snarky characters have come to visit our beloved Fanny!!


To get you started, Kevin has prepared a great project for you using Marlooney's Mooning Elf.

As always, this is a circle hop, so no matter where you start, there you are and as long as you hop full circle, you'll see everything.  If you should get lost among all the fabulous creations, you can always come back here and find your place.


Be sure to leave comments and love at each stop, because we are again having a MYSTERY HOSTESS.  One of the Dudettes - or Dude - will be named our MYSTERY HOSTESS at the end of the hop and one lucky person who comments on that blog will win a free Dude Time Doodles image of their choice.  Just check back here on the evening of Tuesday, November 1st for the winner's circle announcment.


Your first stop on the hop is at Linda's blog.


And just in case you do get lost, here's the hop order.

October Inspirational Challenge

Howdeeeee!!!!!

So glad you've joined us today.  The weather is finally starting to get cooler, the days are getting shorter, and the nights are getting longer.  Ooh la la!  heehee

We've surpassed the middle of October and Halloween is just around the corner.  I hope everyone is getting ready to carve pumpkins, roast some marshmallows on the fire and make some s'mores!  I absolutely *love* this time of year.

We're still celebrating Breast Cancer Awareness month here at Dude Time Doodles and that means that we have another Think Pink challenge for you.

Help support Breast Cancer Awareness and create a project using the above images and colors.

Let's take a look at what the Dudettes created as inspiration, shall we?

NanaConnie has created an awesome card using Fanny Witch.  Looks like she's getting ready for All Hallow's Eve.

Ruth hopes Fanny Beach can help save the hooters before it's too late!

Fanny Bunny looks like she's ready for anything in Tammy's card.

Ahoy Matey Matt offering up a toast in Anne's card.  I think he looks great in pink!

Michelle has Benny Hanna chopping away.

Breast Cancer Awareness Girl is ready to fight like a girl in Dawn's creation.

Lynn has Howie Hot Hot Hot revealing his true feelings for someone.

Stylin' Stew is looking oh so stylish in Linda's creation.  Love those hot pink boots!!

Ahoy Matey Matt is back in pink hoping to save the tatas in Cleota's project.  Again looking great in pink!

Chrissy and Ride Like The Wind Rocky is hoping someone has a tie dyed birthday.

Fanny Bunny is back in Ginny's card reminding someone how sexy they are!!

Our October Guest Designer, Kevin, wants all of the ladies to treasure their chests!  What a great sentiment and still rocking in pink!

So, let's see what you can create with all that inspiration!!

Here are the rules:

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. You can use humor, innuendo, be a little naughty, sarcastic.  For this month only, projects do not have to be masculine.

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

Thank you!
