Bear Minimum - Keep It Simple Challenge

Oh yah...can you keep it simple?  I think with school starting for a lot of families simple is all we can pull off right now...combined with a Doodledragon bear image...what could be more perfect?

Create a Keep It Simple card using a Doodledragon image and add it to the link button below.  Email me that you entered the challenge and you will receive a special image FREE.  Simple as that!  We can't wait to see what you come up with.  Do you want to see the image?  Well all you're getting is a sneak peek like always...I know, torture right?  Want something right now to use for this challenge?  Read below for details.

 If you go HERE you can see the "before" she is a bare bear and can buy the image for a buck fifty (currently on sale for half price)!  Here is a card made by DoodleCrew Jan Garber, just showing off how cute she is!  Now YOU can enter for the freebie once you color her up, or if you prefer just used the pre colored version!

Freebie Friday has arrived...

First just a reminder that my store is currently set at 50% off for all those new followers and for those old timers, I mean those that have been following my blog for a while and don't have everything I have drawn...In September I will be cleaning the store and working on some new things for my blog...More how to draws, make and takes and freebies...

http://www.doodledragonstudios.com/

Also for this weeks challenge I have a freebie to all who participate in BnW and Color and something else I have been messing around with... Watercolor coloring for those that like the colored versions...

Is this something anyone out there would use? Should I just stick to BnW and computer colored??? thoughts ideas, ???

Today's freebie is just the old BnW and Colored versions...it's County fair season and I am so excited, I don't ride the rides but I love walking thru the art shows and all the animals and deep fried everything, especially now my wife is replacing everything in the house with tasteless good for you versions... :(
BnW

and colored...

My kids love those dang balloon hats and I can't stand them, I hate the sound that twisting balloons makes and when they come to your table at the restaurant I just want to crawl under the table...yuck...

Enjoy!
