DDS January Membership

The Doodle Dragon Studios Design Team thought it might be fun to show off some projects made with Dustin Pike's DDS January Membership images. Go to Dustin's Doodle Dragon Studios blog to see all the fun creations.

I know Dustin drew this picture with the "In like a lamb, out like a lion" theme in mind, but the image said something different to me. At first it said, "Feeling Fluffy?" Nah. Then the image said, "Proud baby bump!" There's something special about the glow of a new expecting mom that just started to show her cute baby bump. So here's my "Congrats" card for that new mom.

Supplies:
Doodle Dragon Studios image - January 2012 Membership
The Paper Loft - Stripes/Pink Flowers patterned paper
Provo Craft/Rob & Bob Studio - Pink & Orange Flower patterned paper
BoBunny - Passion Fruit Dot paper
Martha Stewart Edge Punch
Doodlebug Designs Inc - button
Pink bakers twine
Pebbles in My Pocket - rub on

Snowman

Ever had a project you just avoided getting around to, yet needed to ummm... yesterday? I'm having one of those days. I just can't seem to get into doing this project (big bulletin board) I was asked to do. I think it's because it's a more serious, not my usual genre project. I'm a more whimsy style and the project is a more Teresa Collins style. Does that make any sense? I can actually see the finished project in my mind, I just need to start. Right after...

I was surfing the web (to my defense, I was originally looking for idea for the project then was sidetracked) and found a this fun sketch challenge over at The Sweet Stop blog and decided to play along. Dustin Pike's - Doodle Dragon Studios birdie & snowman wanted to be made into something. So it was the perfect match!

Okay, now I'm really going to start on my real project. Wish me luck! Or maybe say a prayer would be more helpful!

Supplies:
Doodle Dragon Studios image - 100 Days of Christmas set
Lime Rickey patterned paper - saraparilla
Martha Stewart Edge Punch - snowflake
American Crafts cardstock

Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to...

Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday DUSTIN
Happy birthday to you!

In honor of our fabulous leader, Dustin Pike, the Doodle Dragon Studios Design Team decided to dedicate the our first challenge of the year to his greatness. It's his birthday on Wednesday! What better way to say "Happy birthday!" than to design a card with an image he created. If you love DDS like I do and want to wish Dustin a happy birthday, join the birthday party and make a card for him! Be sure to link your card on the challenge and leave some extra birthday wishes with a comment on the post. Here's the Birthday Party link.

I have been a Dustin Pike fan for years and years and years. I love the images he draws. They always make me smile and my day a little brighter. That's why it's so great be on his Design Team! I totally enjoy creating fun projects with his happy critters.

If you know Dustin, you know he LOVES Disneyland. He would live there if they would let him! In fact, that's where I first met Dustin, even though we only live an hour from each other. Rumor is that Ollie the Monkey is also one of his favorite Doodle Dragon Crew characters. So I knew for his birthday challenge I had to create a card with Disneyland and Ollie. Since it's Dustin's birthday he must wear a Happy Birthday button (if you've never been to Disneyland on your birthday, I highly suggest it!). And since Dustin trades Disney pins, Ollie had to have a trading pin lanyard too. Even though Dustin isn't in Disneyland THIS year for his birthday, I'm wishing him the Happiest Birthday ever! And I'm hoping he really IS turning 39...

I stand corrected... Dustin WAS in Disneyland for his birthday. His wife surprised him with a birthday trip to Disneyland. Lucky!

Awesome Dude!

Dustin Pike at Doodle Dragon Studios just released this AWESOME snowboarding Yeti in his January Membership set! As with any good snowboarder, you have to trick out your board a little. I changed out his board, added a few local ski resort stickers and some Doodle Dragon Studios images as other stickers.

I cheated on this one... everything is digital.
