Anyway, let's get on with the show and see what the wonderful Design Team have for your inspiration this week...

Tracy - I made a rectangle/oval shaped card for this challenge. I used Paper, sentiment, and all cut outs you can see on this card from Winston Bear collection. Winston is raised over the layers giving him a real 3d look.

Katrina - For my rocker card I have used part of a sentiment, some papers and a digistamp from the fabulous Starfish and Sandcastles VIP XXL Collection. Rocco is coloured with Promarkers and I've added buttons and cloud die-cuts to finish.

Scatty Jan For my project this week I have used a little mixture . I have mainly used Winston Bear collection but also added a little of Picknix. I started with the scissors which is covered using papers from Winston , the scissors sit neatly on a little box which opens so handy for a treat. The tape measurse's , manaquin are from Picknix all other elements from Winston. I had a few bits left over so made a matching card 

Bev here with my idea for anything but square. I decided to use one of the embellies from Starfish & Sandcastles I took it into my graphics programme, duplicated it and made my card blank then decorated it with lots of other goodies from the collection. Don't you just love the sentiment?

Anjie - On my card I've used the Oceania Clear Stamp set. I used the Whale and Whale tail to stamp a background out. I then created some mats and layers and stamped onto watercolour card with a versamark ink pad and used a clear embossing powder. When I heat set the images I then whooshed over them with a blue paint from my Gansai Tambi Watercolours paints. I then raised those up with 3D foam and there you are, all done. A really quick and simple card to make.

Anita - Hi there this week I played with Winnie hello from the gorgeous Winnie in Wonderland collection coloured with alcohol markers, added lots of embellies  and the fabulous sentiment qoutes from the cd.

Michelle  For my project I have used the Twiggy and Toots Collection  I have also used Winnie Fruit Punch Collection for some of the papers. I have coloured the image with Copic markers. The card base was cut out on my silhouette cameo.

Claire C: I've made a door hanger for my project using the adorable Lily Bug Love, she's such a cutie and so much fun to colour! Papers are from the same collections and I've coloured the lovely Lily with my Graph'it Markers. Lily is available here as a cd or if you can't wait to start printing she's available as a download here. If you just want the digi, it's called Lily Bug Sending love and you can find her here.

Lou: I have used "Dancing Queen" as my focal image and then one of the digi embellishments, clapper board, to create my card base. Both are from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection 

Lovely creations to inspire you all with our Anything Goes challenge! 

Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for sharing your creations with us, we love coming to visit and appreciate you taking part in our challenges.

Here are more fantastic creations from the team

Tracy - Something a bit different from me this time, an art journal page for our Summertime challenge.  I have printed out and fussy cut a heap of different images from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.

Michelle -  I had so much fun with this one.  When I think Summer, a nice cold cocktail comes to mind.  I have used the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection, using embellishments, paper, sentiment and digital image coloured with alcohol markers.  The cocktail glasses I enlarged to fit with my project and the butterfly I made a bit smaller, this is the beauty of these collections you can make them any size you like :-)

Anita - I went way out of my comfort zone on my Summer Time creation and had a dabble with watercolouring without a brush !! I used the Summer Time Collection  to create my scene using the lovely digital images.

Scatty Jan When I think of Summer I think of all the lovely flowers , so my project this week reflects that. My cards have matching envelopes too (more pics on my blog) I have used  for the pink card - papers from  Lemonade Fizz - The purple card papers from Lavender Tea - The blue card papers from Octavia Moonfly. The sentiment stamps you can find here

Katrina - I've used part of a sentiment, some papers and a digistamp from the fabulous Starfish and Sandcastles VIP XXL Collection. Winnie is coloured with Promarkers and I've added sequins and some mesh ribbon to finish.

Anjie - For this card I have used a flower from the new Tropical Paradise Flamingo clear stamp set, and a sentiment from the new Oceania clear stamp set. I've coloured the image with Pickled Raspberry and Pine Needles distress inks. I've then cloured over the whole background with the Pickled Raspberry ink and added the usual squiggly black line with a fine liner.

Ruth:  I've made a cute pillow box with papers from the Lily Bug Love paper collection - its really easy to make as long as the lines are scored in the right places!  To finish, I've made a double pin wheel, added a half pearl to the centre and used some ribbon from my stash to add a bow.

Bev here with a summertime floral creation made using Cherryblossom Lane collection. I just adore the watercoloured look of these pre coloured flowers. and used one of the A5 inserts as my actual card base. This collection is just so versatile.

Claire C Flowers and birds are perfect for our summer theme so i've used some of the beautiful new stamps Tropical flowers 1 and Tropical Paradise Flamingo for my card

Helen -  Just love the Summertime, have we had any yet in the good old UK.  Well our Winnies has and she's enjoying a bit of time in the garden.  She's from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection which you can find on CD or as a download in the store.  I've coloured her with copics and used papers and embellies from the collection to make a scene.

Karon - Summertime, I always think of the beautiful flowers that adorn our gardens during summertime, as I live in Canada most of our gardens are under snow 5 months of the year!  I just had to use the beautiful collection Dollie Daydream Goes East Collection for my card this week.  I layered the flowers and added a sentiment panel to the centre and a little bow to finish off.

Shelagh - My Summertime project is a wedding horse-shoe, made with my Great-niece in mind who is an attendant at her Aunt's wedding, late summer.  Everything I used was from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection, 2 circle dies, ribbon and some self adhesive pearls.

Alysha - My summertime project is a card with the gorgeous Winnie from the recent release Starfish and Sandcastles.

Tammi has used the lovely Winnie Fruit Punch collection to make her sweet card....

Pauline This gorgeous image is from theWinnie Fruit Punch collection , I have used elements from the Design Sheets, Papers, Blooms and Embellies sections.

Carol Today I've been stamping with the fabulous Summertime and Daisydays stamp sets and made a fun pop up slider card in warm summery colours.

Lisa My Summertime make uses elements and papers from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection in pretty summery colours. Instead of an image I've layered up the butterfly as the focal point along with the fabulous sentiment.

Lovely creations to inspire you all with our Summertime challenge!

Alysha This week I have 2 projects to show you using twine and ribbon. The first is a simple gift box I have added a stamped daisy on top from the Daisy Days Stamp Collection and some pretty papers.

The second is a card using the same set of stamps I have stamps daisies in a row and the background has been created using brusho's

  

Tammi Lynn -  Hello everyone.  So happy to be here, this is my first creation as part of the Polkadoodles Design team,  I have used Winnie Fruit Punch digi and paper, and pink paper from stash,  The image is colored with Copics. Used some dies, twine and dimensional foam squares to finish it off.

Helen - Here's our Winnie enjoying a little glass of something scrummy.  Sounds good to me on those long hot summer nights!! She's from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection  which you can find on CD or as a download in the store. I have coloured her with Copics and used papers from the collection.

Karon - Ribbon or twine - I used ribbon :-)  I couldn't resist using the delightful Rose Budd Collection for my card this week.  I love all the elegance that comes with this collection.  The fabulous papers and gorgeous embellishments - I am never at a loss with this beautiful collection.

Shelagh - This week I have used the wonderful Winnie Fruit Punch for my creation, character, embellies, sentiment and word art. The paper is from the Winston collection.  A little bit of twine coloured with alcohol markers, some glitter and distress inks to finish off.

Carol - Here is my inspiration for the week using background paper and the gorgeous Winnie Wonderland Cheshire Cat from the Winnie in Wonderland collection. I coloured my image with copics. I added some twine around an oval of card and used it as a layer and then added some tea time trinkets from my stash, all tied together with more twine, hanging from a triple bow. 

Pauline - I'm so excited to have been invited to join the Polkadoodles Design team, thank you so much to Nikky and the team for asking me. For my first project I have used a Design Sheet and Papers from the Winston Delux Full Collection to create a masculine themed card. I printed the design sheet a couple of times so that I could add some extra layers of decoupage. I fussy cut the sentiment, sign and buttons and then added 3D Crystal Laquer to the buttons.

Lisa For my 'Add Ribbon or Twine' project I have used elements from the Winston Deluxe Full Collection. I printed the flowers, sentiment and papers onto white linen card and mat and layered with grey and lilac card. I wrapped the top panel with twine and lace. The cute Winston Bear Heartfelt has been coloured with alcohol markers and added to the card with fancy die cut oval. I've added a pearl heart and a ribbon bow and curled the petals and added some buttons for added dimension.

Fabulous inspiration by the Design Team.

Make sure you check out our latest superduper summer release available on CD or download

Now let's see the inspiration for the challenge...

Ruth:  I've got for a cute mix of Winnie Fruit Punch and  Winnie Sugar Sprinkles.  The main image is from the Fruit Punch cd and the sentiment tile and card shape are from .  The best bit is that the cd's are quite interchangeable and complement each other!  Oh and if you don't want a cd, you can buy as a full download!

Scatty Jan - For my project this week I decided on a fun tag. I used the tag and elements from Little Kingdom. I dusted round the edge with distress ink , then arranged all the little elements - added some bakers twine and my tag was good to go

Tracy - Using Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.. I used Digi image, paper, embellies and sentiment all from this pretty collection. Ribbon and heart die used.

Michelle - This week I have used a digi image from the wonderful Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.  I have used digi papers and design sheet from this collection.  The image has been coloured with Copics.

Anjie - I've used the fabulous new Winnie In Wonderland collection. I've used my Graph'It Markers to colour in Winnie as the Red Queen, Iracebeth. I've used two papers and lots of embellies that I have fussy cut and stuck down with 3D foam to give the card lots of dimension. I finished it off by making a bow using some silky crush ribbom and a glittered heart gem. More details and photos on my blog.

Anita - here this week I had a play at doing my own background scene using the stunning collection  Winnie in Wonderland she is also available by herself as Winnie in Wonderland and horse. Once again I used the backing paper from the Lavender Tea download collection  i also added my twine , These are wonderful collections that work well together.

Bev here with a CAS design for you, using the Magic Garden collection. I printed on the backing sheet and then printed extra flowers and leaves out to layer up, wrapping a contrasting ribbon around before attaching to my card blank. The greeting is on the inside of my card to allow maximum impact of the image.

Katrina - I've been dying to use this gorgeous 'Antique Rose Print Burlap' ribbon that I bought from the Ribbons & Trims section of the store back in January (it's not available at the moment but there are heaps of other gorgeous things in there). I've teamed it up with a flower I built using the Lemonade Fizz stamp soup collection and coloured in the background with Brusho crystals.

Claire C I've used some of the gorgeous stamps from Daisydays Stamp ME Collection to create this quick and easy card. I stamped the flowers using post it masks and then added the little background stamps. I cut around the daisies to create a shaped card and added some colour with Graph'It Markers

Lovely creations to inspire you all with our Add Ribbon or Twine challenge! 

Our winners of our Use a die cut challenge and our Feather in my Cap winners for using PD images (more details on this up top in the tabs section), will be announced next Friday.

Have a great weekend everyone.
