Santi Beaches

As you may have noticed on my Dude Time Doodle post from earlier in the week, Dude Time Doodles is closing its doors on the 15 December.  I've been with the Design Team since the first challenge and have loved the wackiness that is Dude Time Doodles and the support given from the rest of the team.

So here is one of my favourite Dude Time Doodle images - Santi Beaches:

He's one cool Santa!  Papers and tag are from Here Comes Christmas cd from Polkadoodles and I've added some layered snowflakes cut with Marianne Creatables dies.  The red felt snowflakes are actually ribbon (sort of) and I bought it from Marks and Spencers a few weeks ago when me and the boys were having a breakfast treat in the cafe!

So if you want to stock up on Dude Time Doodle images you better be quick as the 15 December will be here before you know it!

Oh, and Samuel won his 9th trophy of the season earlier today!  He came third in the November Cadet Inkart Championship at Daytona Manchester.  And with the points he collected during the heats and final, it places him firmly in second place overall in the Championship!  Not bad for his first year kart racing!

I've used a Dude Time Doodles image - Santi Beaches and he is included in the 50% sale of last years Christmas images but be quick - sale ends on 30 November! He's been coloured with Promarkers plus a little glitter glue.

I've used papers from the digi pack - Creativity by Crystal called Merry and Bright, bought from Jessica Sprague. The string of tiny fairy lights is from my stash and I've used two gold star brads to attach them to the card. I've added faux brads to the bottom of the card - dots made with Promarkers and then glossy accents over the top!

Good luck with the challenge - deadline is Wednesday 7 December at 12noon GMT and pop over to the challenge blog to enter!

Dude Time Doodles Challenge 3 - Sketch

It's time for a Dude Time Doodles challenge! It's the 5th of the month so that means a sketch challenge, and here it is! You know how I like simple sketches - well, this I think will be one that I return to time and time again!


I've used the Santi Beaches image, coloured with Promarkers and I've added a computer generated sentiment (could not resist!) This is just how I imagine Santa on 26 December!

The backing papers are Papermania Naughty but Nice 6x6 collection along with some silver and red card from my stash and the snowflakes are pearlescent table confetti.

We hope you want to join in with the challenge - you can use any image you like as long as it is a male themed one and you follow the sketch. Deadline is 19 December with the winners being announced on the challenge blog.

Good luck!
