July New Release Blog Hop

You're going to be rockin' out  with the newest characters who are joining the rest of the crew from Dude Time Doodles.  In case one of the guys over indulges, Elson  Witch Doctor will help him with whatever ails him.  Yo' Jimi will help provide some soothing background music (not), and Pierre Painter will try to capture the essence that is Dudeville Holla.  All the new guys will be available in the DTD store by 10am EST.

For those of you that are new to our New Release Blog Hop, it is a circular hop.  You just keep going until you've hit every one of the Dude or Dudettes.  Be sure to leave a comment with each one of us as one of us is the Mystery Host and the winner will be chosen from that host's comments.

So crank up the tunes and let's get started.  Kevin (along with the lyrics from the Witch Doctor by the Chipmonks) will provide you with a little taste of what you can expect from this fun adventure into Dudeville Holla. 

I Told The Witch Doctor I Was In Love With You!
I Told The Witch Doctor You Didn't Love Me Too!
And Then The Witch Doctor He Told Me What To Do!
He Said That:

Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah to the ting to the tang the wallawalla bingbang
Ooh to the eeh the ooh the ahah ting tang wallawalla bingbang

Your first stop will be Dawn.  Here's the blog hop list, in case you get distracted along the way.

RibbonCarousel.com is a crafter-owned business established in 2011.

JULY'S FIRST WEDNESDAY CHALLENGE

How do you do! You arrived just in time to join all the residents of Dudeville Hollow as they gather to celebrate the 4th of July with a "Fun in the Sun" Challenge! 


The celebration is taking place on the banks of the beautiful Waterwater River and is being hosted by the Dudettes who are missing the Dude while he recovers from surgery! 


Since it never rains in Dudeville Hollow, the fireworks have been cancelled because of the dry conditions!  But there's lots to do, plenty to drink and tons of food, possum stew, rattlesnake burgers, horseradish fritters served with candied sauerkraut and prunes for dessert! And of course, for the wee folks, hot dogs! 


To join the challenge, make a card suitable for a DUDE demonstrating Fun in the Sun and share it with us! The winner of the challenge will be announced on Tuesday, July 10 and will receive their choice of three images from 
Bonibleaux Designs. 


As you stroll along the riverbank, please enjoy what the design team has created to celebrate
Fun in the Sun!

June New Release Blog Hop

All aboard..... it's time for the June New Release Blog Hop.  ChooChoo Charlie is our conductor for the hop and will guide your journey in meeting the newest members of Dudeville Hollow.  At each stop, you'll get to know Charlie better as well as meet Silly Sam and Minute Man Marty.

So find your seat and get comfy.  Before this train heads out, Charlie has a couple of announcements.  

This is a circular hop, meaning there is no specific beginning or end.  Just keep visiting all of the Dude/Dudettes until you've gone and visited all of us.  Be sure to leave a comment with each of us, as one of us is the Mystery Host.  That dt member will choose the winner of this month's blog hop from his or her comments.

Also, we are sad to say farewell to CG, as this will be her last post as a Dudette.  CG will definitely be missed.  And as one person gets off the train, a new person gets on.  With that being said, please welcome Nancy, our current guest designer, as a full fledged Dudette.  

The first stop on this fun train is CG's, where you'll meet Silly Sam.

Here's the blog hop list in case you get sidetracked along the way.

June Inspiration Challenge

What an amazing freebie image from last week.  Who knew a toilet would inspire such diverse projects?!  If you didn't get a chance before, you need to check out all the great creations from last week.  Don't fret if you missed your chance to get this image for free; you can now purchase it at the store.

Now it's time for June's Inspiration Challenge.  Since June is all about weddings, this week's challenge theme is Weddings/Anniversaries.

Our sponsor for this week's challenge is Pattie's Creations.  The winner will be able to choose two images from her Esty store.

 Let's get those creative juices flowing by viewing some great creations from our very talented Dude/Dudettes!  Remember, you can enter as many times as you wish, but each new creation (no back linking) must be for a Dude.

Ruth is bubbling over with an anniversary card with Hot Tub Harry

Anne has a proposal from Will - You Marry Me?

Sharon is being devilish with Fanny She Devil

Kevin has wedding jitters with Brad Ball and Chain

CG shows us that there's someone for everyone with M.C. Squared

Nancy, our June guest designer, isn't afraid to bring out the Ice Bucket for the anniversary celebration

Dawn shows us the loving couple: Downtown Delmar Disco and Fanny Fart (complete with her Putt Putt Hearts, I mean farts)

Charlene is rocking the wedding bell love with Hippy Rocker

Mags shows how Gary Giftbearer is giving his love to his sweetheart

Tammy reminds us that it's not all love and sunshine with Nag, Nag, Nag

 Now it's your turn to upload your Wedding/Anniversary cards or projects for the Dudes in your life!!  Link your creations using the InLinkz tool below.   The winner of two images from Pattie's Creations, our sponsor for this challenge, will be announced at 8pm EST on June 26.

The Rules

1. Use the inspirational photo/theme above and the Dude and Dudette creations 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.

Thank you!
