New Releases at Dude Time Doodles

     The new release blog hop at Dude Time Doodles begins on Wednesday morning so if you're seeing this on Tuesday evening, it's possible that not all of the hop links will be working.  Try again in the morning.

     It is with a somewhat sad heart that I post this card today because it is my last posting for this DT term which ends on Monday.   I need to cut back on my full time DT duties (4 teams - eek!) and take a break to see if the shoulder problem is going to clear up.   The docs said I have to cut my DT work in half and deciding which half was such a hard decision for me,  I actually had to flip a coin.  I love Dude Time Doodles, and will miss all the Dudettes (and Kevin, the new Dude -- Welcome aboard, Kevin!)  But I'll play along in the challenges as often as I can and I'll follow all of them on their blogs.

     OK, today we have the blog hop to show off all the new folks and critters who have moved into the Hollow (newly released digis from Bonibleaux Designs), and you're going to love them, I promise!  Marlene drew a few of her typically funny, snarky images and Boni turned out some delightful new creations perfect for the upcoming holidays.  So, hop along with us and see them all.  They should be available in the New Releases section of the store after 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday.

     You should have arrived here from Lynn's blog, but if you just happened to drop in here, it doesn't really matter.  All our blog hops are circles, so you can start anywhere and just keep hopping until you've seen everything.  Here's my card using the new release "Bountiful Blessings."  What a Turkey!!


     Remembering that it's still October, and in keeping with our Think Pink for Breast Cancer Awareness theme, I did manage to put a little bit of pink into this card.  :-D   The image is colored with my new Touch Twin markers (I'm really loving them!)   The sentiment is printed from my computer with a handwriting font and I'm here to tell you that's an absolutely true statement in my family -- at least among the guys!

     OK, now I'm going to pass you on to Dawn so you can see her fabulous card.  Be sure to leave some comment love on each blog as you go along.  Your name could be drawn from the comments on the Mystery Hostess' blog and you could win the prize!

Thanks for stopping by and have a CREATIVE DAY.  NanaConnie
