I just wanted to show you a card one of my DoodleDragon Crew did using one of the NEW May Membership images.  Be sure to get pay for your subscription to this months Membership for more of this summer fun!

...And now back to Pike's Playground winners.  Our Random winner this month is the very talented CraftyGirl with this card.  Be sure and check out the deets on her blog.

And by DoodleDragon Crew's choice....this is getting harder and harder as the entries are getting better and better......

We loved the way she took the card above and beyond the normal style.  The layout totally reads "boy card" and the coloring is great too.

Sunday evening update, this and that...

I was going to post this thursday or so but Blogger was read only for me these past couple of days. I have an update on the Dylan card drive, so far counting the cards from Ted's class I have 101 cards, I will post a photo tomorrow once I go to the PO box again. I am still accepting these til around the 31st of May to let everyone get their cards done and sent, then I will take them all over to his house at once so there's plenty of time to get one done....

In the meantime I have also loaded a set on my store that is a Dylan Dragon inspired set as well as a Race for the Cure set all in one with ALL sales from that set going directly to Dylan and his family..Dylan Dragon is Dexter and Dudley's little brother...

Now for today's freebie:
this one is specific to another boy...He's feeling down and could use a little pick me up...
His name is Thomas and here's a little something about him.

“Hello, my name is Sir Thomas Knight of the Shooting Star
I am 6 years old. I have NKH (non-ketonic hyperglycinemia) which is a rare uncurable
metabolic disease. I also have Primary immunodeficiency Which is a fancy way of saying I
have a poor functioning immune system. The treatment that I need to treat my PID I cant
have because of my NKH. I spend alot of time in and out of the hospital. My mission as a
knight of the Magical Moon has been to help raise money and find a cure for NKH. My
mom and I started the NKH Crusaders Foundation. I have met alot of amazing people and
I want to help other children who are fighting NKH. http://magicalmoon.org/

Please take a minute to send him a card as well. this time send it to him, NOT ME...please...

Freebie and a Call for Cards...

Every once in a while I ask for something in return for all of the freebies I give away. That time has come again...This past Monday night at a local school they held an event called "Dancing for Dylan" The turnout was tremendous...He is a 9 yr old boy recently diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor (Diffused Pontine Glioma) His blog is here http://dylandshaw.blogspot.com/ and you can read all about the things that this little boy and his family are going thru. In return for you taking an hour out of your day and a buck to mail the card  I have 6 images to give away to each person that sends a card to me that I can collect and take to his family. I would like to do this in about 2 weeks to give those overseas the time to get the cards here.  PLEASE feel free to make the card for Dylan, his family or both.  If you have wonderful words of encouragement you can add that to the card...or just a simple hello will work.

One of the images is this one...

This as well as the 5 others will not be for sale on my site (consider them Limited Editions). Only by making a card can you get this small set...I am not telling you that one of my images has to be used (though it would be nice) and seeings it's a boy this time around, I for some reason tend to have a lot of images geared towards boys...

Send the card to me:
Dustin Pike
P.O. Box 901
Roy, Utah 84067

PLEASE be sure to throw a note in there with your email address so I can send the set once your card is received. Though my kids think so I am not a mind reader...

Onto this weeks freebie...
