Big Dreams

It's Guest Designer/Freebie Week at Dude Time Doodles. We do this once a month, and it is your chance to snag a fun digi if you promise to play with it and enter it in our challenge this week (the prize is wonderful so be sure and read the short list of rules). The challenge actually runs two weeks this month since there is an extra Wednesday - so you have extra time to play.

The free image is the Youth Football image which is perfect for this time of year! Last weekend was the first sign up date for Youth Football in our area and there were lines down the streets!!! Football is huge in Alabama!!! I colored my image to match up with Prattville colors (the school won the 6-A State Championship again this year - they are amazing). All the little boys in the area dream of playing on that team and they start early. Well, that sums up extent of what I know about football other than that there is a ball, field, goal, and some rules (like head for the women's restroom 10 minutes before half time so you don't have to wait in line long)!


I also used the star out of the CowPoke Cal Set - I just printed it out on red paper and cut out the star part. My star brads were a gift from my friend Stacy (Twinshappy on SCS), the blue jean paper is from Hobby Lobby, the CS is from SU!, and I used Stickles on the stars and parts of the jersey.

Come join in the fun!

Hugz!

  6. Great card, Nancy! Love what Tammy said in her comment (my laugh for the day). Now, you must not leave for the restroom early or you may miss the biggest play of the game...maybe even a touchdown. LOL

Forest Goodies and Other Projects

 Hello Crafty Friends. I just got the Stamperia Forest Paper and Die Cuts in the mail so I had to play with them right away.   I have a combo creation - journal page and card.  On the journal page I used my 6x6 Dina Wakley Journal and laid a base of gesso.  I then used Dina's pastel crayons and some SU! inks and stamps.  Also added in some TH Dress Ink in Vintage Photo since I don't know how to make anything without it  (seriously).   The eagle is a Stamperia Forest die cut and is coated with gesso.  Did a bit of stenciling and distressing to finish the page off.  I am linking this the the **Art*Journal*Journey* September Texture Theme (last day - can't wait to see what October's Theme will be).  The die cut and the little smears add texture to the already very textured page.   I love the blue and green together and was inspired to made a quick card for my Son-in-law who cut down some tree limbs for us the other day....

Halloween Lunch Pictures and Some Art

Happy T-day! Our favorite local restaurant is Fox's Pizza Den where they have great pizza, sandwiches, pasta and salads. They also have a Bourbon Bar.  Prices range from $7 to almost $1,000 on the bourbon and bourbon drinks.   Each holiday, the bourbon bar comes up with fun holiday themed drinks and they decorate the bar too.  A few weeks ago, we headed there for lunch and to try one of the new drinks.  Here is the holiday drink menu and my tickets to T-day over at Elizabeth's Blog where we share our fun drink related items from the week.  Of course, my daughter loves vampire books and movies so she picked the blood bag. I go more for taste so I got the Meet Your Maker - it was wonderful.   We shared a pizza and a salad.  I forgot to take a picture of the pizza, but I did get one of the salad. It had grilled chicken and potato wedges - super fun.  They make their ranch dressing on site and it is wonderful.  My husband has been know...

Dreams of Fall, Numbers, and a Cool Drink

I hate to admit it, but I am already looking forward to Fall!  That is also the theme for this House Mouse card I finished up today. I stamped this 2009 Turning Over a New Leaf (Monica) image on the envelope too because the current House Mouse & Friends Monday Challenge #392 theme is decorate your envelope too.  On the card, I stamped the image, popped up some of the leaves and drew in some branches.  The background and leaves are watercolored with DOX ink.  Monica is colored with pencils and watercolor.   I sure wished it was Fall on Saturday when we were watching our youngest grandson at the 6U All Star State Championship. It was very hot. His team lost in the semi-finals. We were very proud of how hard they played. Speaking of baseball, I did two pages on our two All-Stars. I am linking them up to the Numbers theme at **Art*Journal*Journey* .  I have numbers in the journaling and there are numbers on their jerseys.   The All Stars cap ...
