Before we share the DT's wonderful projects, we are very pleased to welcome another two new members to the Polka Doodles family
Caz  and Lorna

Now onto this weeks Inspiration here at Polkadoodles

Naz - For this project I have used AMELIA CONTEMPLATING from Polkadoodles.

I coloured her using Copics and Wink of Stella Clear Glitter Pen.
The sentiment I have used for this project is from Work and Play 10 - Country Life.
These sentiments are the ones I've been using a lot on my projects, I like the look of circle sentiments.

Lorna I have used Twiggy n Toots Festive Fun Collection available as a CD. or if you prefer as a Download. More details can be found on my blog

Caz ..For my project, I have  gone with Red and White...I have made a Owl Gift bag..Really enjoyed making this bag.  So easy to make..And defo intend making more...They are fab..The Owl Bag template can be found on Twiggy n Toots Festive Fun Collection available as a CD. or if you prefer as a Download. Sentiment and tag can also be found in this collection..Along with papers ive used..(except lashes).

Ruth:  I've been busy making baby cards - there is an abundance of expectant mums at work!  I've used a cute spotty pink paper from the Serenity paper bundle download, made some large letters and then added my own twist to the banner.

Jessie - For my one colour plus white I chose brown, and went with every shade of brown that exists in my Polychromos set, so I used white plus 10 different shades of brown to colour up Octavia Whistful. One piece of patterned paper from the Violin Theme Paper Collection frame the image perfectly for a super clean and simple card! 

Julie -- I started with a Kraft base, then used white with shades of brown.  I just HAD to use these two beautiful deer.  They are so sweet, they speak to me.  It's deer hunting season right now here in NW WI, and while I know we have more deer in this state than people, I still don't like hunting season.  This card is my tribute to all the deer out there.  You can get the image individually here.  The whole Frosted Winter Octavia Collection Digital Download can be found here.  If you're more patient than me, and want the CD, that link is here. The shaped card design I used on this is also from Polkadoodles.  This is Elegant Card 2 SVG cutting file.  The sentiment is a freebie, found in the Polkadoodles store.

Bev here with my inspiration post. Anyone up to there eye's in 'stuff' at the moment with little time for crafting? So I made a quick card this week using the Winston collection & not a character in sight. There's just so much within the collection if you haven't tried it please do you won't be disappointed x

Claire C I've gone for a sepia tone for my little altered notebook and coloured up the beautiful  digi stamp 'Cinders'  (you can find her here). I've coloured the image with my Lyra pencils and used her to cover a little notebook, adding ribbon, lace bead trim and a little flower. I've inked around the edges with distress inks and added a little gilding wax to finish off

Anjie -  I have used 2 papers and lots of embellishments from the fabulous Picknix 3, Nordic Winter collection.. I have distressed the edges of the papers and added some drawn lines for added interest.

Our Winner (chosen by random org) for our Autumn/Fall Challenge is...

55- Nick

Melanie - I have also used the Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun collection to create  a digital card front (6x6) , I also coloured him up too -  More details on my blog 

Scatty Jan - I used the lovely Eden collection this time to make my card. I've used this collection many times to make these type of cards. A few weeks back I made one very similar using blues. I have coloured up with pencils . The image, papers, flowers , ribbon etc can all be found on the collection here . The image Eden Blossoms can be brought as a single digi here

Jackie - I have used Brown and White to create a card with Sepia Tones. I am still having lots of fun choosing papers and images from the Work and Play 10- Country Life Collection. My image is coloured using Copics but don't forget all the images are also available coloured already for you! Lucky for me I had a feather and chicken wire die in my stash and I loved the distressed wood grain paper from the CD. Details on my blog.

Ria - For our White and one other colour I used this colouring page from the Colourtherapy 1 Florabunda download, and I added Maddie Shy digistamp to this page. Coloured with Spectrum Noir markers and Stickles.

Karon - I went for the a blue Christmas :-)  All the papers, poinsettia and sentiment are from the wonderful Frosted Winter - Octavia collection.  I used a snowflake embossing folder on the white panels and inked all the edges of my card layers.  A little bit of foam tape under the sentiment panel to add some dimension and formed my poinsettia with a stylus.

Aunty Sue- Well when I saw this challenge White plus 1 colour for me it had to be Black or shades of. As to which image I had a look round Work & Play 10 in the digi images and found this cute family of kittens did you know that it is available as a digi for a mere 99p talk about bargin HERE.

Jenny - I thought I'd try something a little different this week, so have used the gorgeous new digi colouring book - Colour Therapy 2 Inspiring Foliage. I took an A4 design but printed it half size to make a background for my card, I used Lyra pencils to colour it and then sprayed with a glitter spray. The sentiment is printed from the Frosted Winter Collection.

Jackie - I really love the colours of Autumn and the Work and Play 10 Collection- Country Life had some great digi images to choose from. I used Copics to colour in the image (I made my image card size but it would be lots of fun to colour in as a larger image too!). The beautiful patterned paper is also from the collection. Details are on my blog.

Karon - For my creation I used the wonderful Dollie Daydream Goes East collection.  The papers in this collection are gorgeous and I wanted to use just the papers.  I have layered up some of the paper to add dimension to the scene.  Then using one of the fans from from the collection, I shaped and then added a little pearl dot and some wonderful sentiment tickets.  Everything, bar the ribbon, is from this wonderful collection :-)

Ruth -  Kept it rather clean and simple this week - used the Serenity Moondust digi and added glitter here and there plus some half pearls.

  

Ria -  For my Fall entry I used this sweet Serenity Resting. I coloured her with pencils, The papers are from the Eden Collection and the sentiment is from the Serenity collection.

Jessie - I used the Autumn/Fall Digi stamp bundle and coloured up the barrel of baskets with my copic markers. I have been really into doing simple cards with lots of colouring and this is no exception. I used some burlap with colourless blender pen to create the background, then coloured the rest of the image. 

Aunty Sue - Hi well for my Inspirational card today I am sharing an Anniversary card using one of the Letters from the Adult Colouring Pages Bundel Alphabet 1 available in the shop HERE.  My colours have been done with Promarkers, Sparkle Gelly Roll Pens and also Gilding Flakes.  More details and pictures on my blog as this was so hard to catch the sparkle and also the colour of the flakes at the same time.

It features 10 fantastic themed characters. It also includes backing papers, sentiments, paper bow sheets, ...I coloured the image using Lyra Pencils and then added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen. The sentiment I have used here is also from the same collection.

Anjie - I have used one of the designs from the fabulous Colour Therapy Florabunda CD, you can also get this as a download HERE if you can't wait for a CD to arrive! This is one of the 6x6 designs and I have made a card blank to fit it using a Tattered Lace Essentials die. In the stripes around the image I've used a Sakura Tiara gold pen to add a bit of glitter, and some gems on the base. More pics and details on my blog.

Julie -- The 'S' is one of the new, fabulous adult coloring pages.  This is Adult Coloring Pages, Alphabet 1.  I colored it with Copic markers. The designer paper on the top layer of the frame is from the Rose Budd Craft Collection Download. It's available in CD, too.   I love Autumn colors, and these new coloring pages are going to be so. much. FUN!

Bev here with my creation I used my Lyra Rembrandt Pencils to colour in one of the Colour Therapy 1 sheets and combined it with the fox from Work & Play 10 - Country Life collection again coloured up with Lyra. The sentiment is from the same collection and was then embossed with a leaf design and inked with distress inks to match. I finished by adding a paper bow & a bit of bling.

Claire C I've used elements from the Autumn/Fall digi bundle (which you can find here, what  bargain!!) to create my little canvas. I've used my Lyra pencils to colour them

Penny here with two creations... I quickly ran home tonight to create a project after realising my first attempt wasn't fitting the theme.. I went Autumn and missed the Autumn colour rude.. Oops.   I used the Autumn bundle and created this CAS card initially

After realising my error I grabbed my image I was playing with for another project (stay tuned for later in the year for my plans for the image below.. I'm excited.)

I used my real brush markers and added lots of layers of colours to achieved a rustic wood feel, the digi lends itself to adding colours and just playing.  I will definitely be trying my hand at watercolour again, this image would be stunning in pencils too.   You can find the Lemonade Stand image in the Picknix Collection 1.   It comes in a pre-coloured version to that is devine with its pastel colourings.

What fantastic makes from the team!
