The best laid plans

The best laid plans in my world usually do not go well as is the case for this week's Dude Time Doodles Inspiration Challenge. The challenge is to think outside of the box and make "anything but a card" for a dude. I kicked, I screamed, I pleaded but my protests fell on deaf ears and the challenge remained "anything but a card".  Since I only know how to make a card and I only want to make cards I was miserable until the lightbulb flashed and I saw the possibility of making something special for my son who is a gargantuan Eagles fan. With the help of Football Phil from Bonibleaux Designs, and using the Eagles' colors, I made a gold metal to hang on a bottle of champagne to be opened when the Eagles won the Super Bowl.

Well, through no fault of my own, the Eagles blew it yet again and the metal will collect dust until next year when all hopes return for a chance at the Super Bowl. Now please, all I ask is that if you are not an Eagles fan and leave a comment, do not rub it in, its painful enough.


Now for the details of the Challenge.

Using the picture to get your mojo flowing, you have one week to create anything but a card. Keep in mind, it is not necessary to use a Bonibleaux Designs image but it surely does make us stand up and cheer when you do.  Use InLinkz to post your creation at Dude Time Doodles and three top winners and top blog winner will be announced on January 25.
