What's New with Dude?

Kim here, with a big update for you...

First up is a special Love Challenge going on over at Club Dude where Osten is asking that you Torture him with Love....by creating Valentines for him in honor of the holiday. This is a challenge with posting bonuses; you can earn up to 8 bonuses that coordinate perfectly with Dude's new kit seen below. Come check out the challenge for the rules and previews of the posting bonuses!

Next, is Osten's FABULOUS new kit, Tortured Love!


Filled with Osten's signature stunning, lush, and imaginative style you will receive with your purchase of Tortured Love 20 background papers and 139 unique elements.

Tortured Love goes on sale on Saturday, February 14th in the shop at OWD.

Lastly, an announcement from Osten:

"OH MAN...It's with SADNESS in my February Heart to not be able to get the new chatroom software in time for THIS Month's Chat. Poo POO!!

However, NEVER FEAR -- we'll STILL have the CHALLENGE! In concordance with the creation of my NEW KIT, "Tortured Love" -- I've created a coordinating mini kit for your Posting Bonus!"

No previews, folks...for that you'll have to wander over to Club Dude and check it out for yourself. Dude has also posted the challenge rules and requirements and I will give you a hint: the posting bonus perfectly coordinates and is NOT a minikit!! You know Dude doesn't do "mini" rofl!

So what are you waiting for? Get on over to Club Dude and check out what's going on and jump in on all of the fun we're having there!
