DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - IT'S A DUDLEY KINDA DAY

Good morning fellow crafters.. how's your weekend going so far? Are you ready to join the Doodle Dragon Studios team with our next challenge? Sure hope so coz today we are asking you to make something using one of Dustin's Dudley images! Yep that's right, today "it's a Dudley Kinda Day" challenge. So pick out your favorite Dudley and go create something with it. 

My creation was made for some special firefighters here in Miami (Station 3), who were so wonderful with my son's class. We went on a field trip to the fire station and the tour they gave us was so awesome, the children all had such a great time and learned so much. This was a special unit with some members having been in New York to help with the 9/11 rescue mission, and that's why I chose to go there over all the other stations. Sometimes we take for granted what these firefighters and paramedics do, but when you see first hand what their job entails, you find a new appreciation for them. These are our true heroes for sure, so for all of you who know a firefighter, go give them a hug and thank them for what they do for us. Putting their lives at stake in order to keep us safe!  

I colored fire fighter Dudley in copics and used dp from DCWV All About Boys. The ribbon was from my stash.  

Here's the inside of my card. I wanted to keep it simple as it was for a bunch of guys. LOL 

So here's another big Thank You to Station 3 in Miami...you are the best! 

Don't forget to stop by Pike's Playground to come check out the DT's Dudley creations. 

Have a great day!

Hugs, 

Charlotte

DOODLE DRAGON STUDIOS CHALLENGE - MY LIFE IS A ZOO

Howdy folks! 

Are you ready for another Pike's Playground challenge? This one should be a fun one as we are asking you to make something with a Dustin image with the challenge "My life is a zoo!" Let's see how creative you can get with this one! I decided to use Dustin's cupcake monkey which I've had printed up for a while already and as many people make the New Year's resolution to lose weight I thought this would be a fun card with those perfect images. Te he! 

I've made another card with this Z-fold design which you can find at Beccy's Place and I have to say I love how it turned out. 

This is the first cupcake monkey image, you see the cupcake complete and the monkey seems so excited to see it. 

The second image shows little monkey with fat cheeks after munching on the cupcake! 

and finally little monkey feeling awfully full after finishing off a good portion of the cupcake! I'm sure we've all felt like that at some point of time, right! 

I colored the images with copics, used some paper glaze to give shine to the icing on the top. The dp is from Making Memories Simply Fabulous Maddi Narrow Stripe and Maddi Paisley. Ribbon is from Micheal's and little gems from JoAnn's Fabrics.

I hope you'll come along and play with us this challenge. 

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs, 

Charlotte

Over at Midnight Madness we have another sketch for you and this one is good for the whole month, so you've got plenty of time to play along with us. For my project this time I decided to alter a little notebook that I've had for a while. It wasn't very exciting to look at and needed a little tlc! I love how it turned out and this is definately one of my favorite images from Priscilla.
