Fetch A Sketch Challenge 2 - Midway Extra

Welcome to Fetch A Sketch Challenge 2 and our Midway Extra! The two winners from Challenge 1 have been announced on the Challenge blog so please check to see if you've been lucky!

Dude Time Doodles and Boni the owner and artist is generously offering the winner of this challenge a $10 Gift Certificate! Dude Time Doodles is perfect for those pesky men in your life - the ones that are always difficult to make a card for, but no longer! Dude Time Doodles is your answer! Click on the banner below to be taken to the store:

Dude Time Doodles also have a challenge blog with regular freebies and the chance to become a Guest Designer for a month - pop by the challenge blog for a look! I am also part of the Dude Time Doodles Design Team and I have so much fun with the images!

The sketch, designed by Jenny is below. You can rotate it, flip it, resize it and add embellishments or a sentiment where ever you want, just as long as we can see the elements of the sketch. We've also been joined by some of the Dudettes for this challenge, so pop over to the Challenge blog for more inspiration

As last week, I've made a card with a sheet of dull acetate (its sort of milky looking) and added the star brad threaded with Divine Twine from The Ribbon Girl plus the same colour has been wrapped around the card. I've used Ollie Octopus for my image and he's been coloured with Promarkers. Again, the waves have been made with a die cut that I've used as a template and the handmade paper was generously donated by Lynsey.


Good luck with the challenge - for more details please visit the challenge blog and enter your creation via the blue frog. Closing date for entries is 12noon GMT on Sunday 24 July and the winner will be announced on Monday 1 August.

Dude Time Doodles - March New Release & Blog Hop!

It's the fourth Wednesday of the month (where has February gone?!) so its time for the unveiling of the new release digital stamps at Dude Time Doodles. And when it is new release day, its also the BLOG HOP!!

I've used Ollie Octupus and coloured him with Promarkers and yes, you've guessed it - glossy accents! In fact it looks pretty much like he's just jumped out of the sea and onto my wobble card! If you like the look of Ollie and any of the other digi stamps you see on your travels, simply pop over to the shop and purchase!!

The sentiment has been cut using my Baby Face alphabet set from Cuttlebug and the number 8 is Sizzix Round-a-Bout alphabet dies and they have been coated with glossy accents too!

Ollie has been layered onto a plain blue background and then onto the spotty green background - both are papers from Craft The Year Away from Funky Hand. A bit of doodling around the edge and its complete!

Oh, and Ollie wobbles too! I felt quite indulgent the other day (well, just bought some right bargains in the craft section - some paper packs reduced to 99p!) when I was in The Range so the pack of Papermania card springs fell into my basket!

Right, onto the blog hop! If you've arrived at me from Cleota then you are doing just fine! But you can start anywhere and as long as you go full circle and leave comments at each stop, then you could be a lucky winner! One of the Design Team will be the mystery hostess - if my name is picked then you could be picked as the winner from all my comments on this post! So after me, you need to hop to Hetty.

As this post goes live at 2am all the links in the hop may not yet be fully linked as we do like to make it easy for you and link directly to each post so you don't have to scroll through millions of posts. So once I'm up and suitably awake, I'll link Cleota and Hetty with their direct blog hop post. If you click and the links are fine - just ignore me!
