"Errr what did you say?"

It's time for another
"Pike's Playground Challenge"
and this time the theme is 

RED, WHITE and BLUE
(NB please use Dustin Pike images)

Unfortunately the teddy bear I used as a model on my card had "cloth ears" (slightly deaf)

When I said "thumbs up" he thought I said "bums up"!!

So I would like to apologise on behalf of myself and Dustin Pike for my bear bottom, sorry bear's bottom (typo)


Unfortunately I omitted to note the Copic colours used, I guess staring at a bear's butt may have had something to do with that!

Additional: Marianne Design die, ribbon and buttons from stash

Now it's your turn to make your very own RED WHITE and BLUE project using one of Dustin Pike's digis and enter it HERE 

Go on, get creative

Is it a bird? Is it a plane?

No it's Super Boy!


It's dull and wet outside right now so I was in dire need of something bright, cheery and non-fattening when I spied Mo's cute little chap sitting on my shelf.....

..........and I thought I'd share him with my bloggyland friends!! 

I even decorated the inside of the card this time


Paper: DCWV - All About Boys (love this set)
Colouring: Caran D'Ache Supracolor Pencils, Chalk ink
Additional: ribbon and peel-offs from stash, Word art on front by Create with TLC
word art inside by me

Have a great weekend and Happy Father's Day to all those Dads out there!

It's a boy thing!

It's time for another Pike's Playground Challenge

"It's a boy thing"

Anything goes for this one as long as it's suitable for the male of the species!!
PLEASE USE A DUSTIN PIKE IMAGE

This is my interpretation: 

Now if my husband is reading this blog entry,( I know he does) honey you need to develop amnesia - you have not seen this card.......

Copics colours used
 Image: Dustin Pike "Read with me" available HERE
Paper: DCWV All About Boys stack

After the first disaster, I really had to concentrate so I didn't make any more bloopers - I daren't work out the hours I spent on this little beauty, but I was pretty pleased with the end result - what do you guys think?
