Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I've used the wonderfully Christmas (especially in red!) Bubbleicious Frame as my background and starting point then made a wreath of poinsettias with  the very versatile Flowers 2 dies - I pinched the edges.  Papers are printed from Winnie Winter Wonderland (print on both sides so you don't get any white showing) plus added some seed beads to the centres.  And to finish off, the little tiny sentiment tags have been cut with the Versatile Door / Window / Flap die.
Helen - Feeling a lot Christmassy at the moment so I've taken the Festive Hollybobs collection that you can find right here in the store and merged 4 images to make a Christmas Scene and used some papers from the collection too.  I've add some corners and the tree branch from the fab new dies that cut like a dream you find them here too.
Pauline - I've used the two adorable gingerbread people from the Festive Christmas CD, the sentiment and papers are from the CD as well.  I also used the fabulous new Bubbleicious Frame Die and lots of Distress Ink to create a rustic feel.
Alysha ~ Ooooooh I'm feeling all Christmassy like my team mates too. Here I have made a lovely Christmas card using Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun CD. Looking forward to seeing your creations this week. hugs Aly xx
Lisa - For my make today I've used the fabulous Festive Christmas Download Collection and I just love the rich traditional colours in this collection. I have layered the leaf image multiple times over red and green papers from the collection, printed, fussy cut and shaped into a Poinsettia, with a lovely bit of bling for the centre. I have kept the rest of the card fairly simple, using a sentiment printed onto white card and the inside of Bubbleicious Frames Die as a template to cut it out, layered onto the Bubbleicious Frames Die cut from Kraft card and a stripey paper from the collection. 
Karon - I have a play with one of the wonderful pre-coloured toppers from the Festive Christmas Collection and used the Super Sprigs Die to add some leaves to the white poinsettia.  I added some layers by cutting out an extra reindeer and birdhouse.  
Jacki - For my card I decided to merge 2 of adorable images from the Twiggy and Toots collection the papers are from the Festive Christmas collection I distressed them added diluted paint splats and frantage then added a large christmassy bow.
Carol - For my inspiration I've used the Winnie Winterland collection and used papers, a tag, some holly foilage and the very cute Candy Cane Elf to decorate a step card. 
Elena - For my ispiration I've used full elements of Winnie Winterland Collection.  Papers, elements and stamp painted with distressink. Front card more elements and paper base are red, while the back of the card is a collage of objects mounted on several levels with photoshop and green to fit ours theme.

Lou: I have again used the wonderful Festive Christmas soup stamps to create my card. I have kept my colour palate very autumnal with reds, golds and green. Except for the ribbon and lace, Everything else has been created using the stamp sets

Scatty Jan I adore the colours of Autumn and for my project this week I decorated a large leaf shaped card using the wonderful  Autunm Fall digi stamp collection, of course the star of the show had to be Mr Scarecrow. The Paper used is from Work and Play 10 Country Life 

AnjieI have used the frabjous Winnie In Wonderland Collection CD to make  this. You can also get this in a download format HERE, and in smaller separate items HERE.
I have used Tweedledee image twice here.

Bev here with my seasonal inspiration, Autumn is my favourite time of year so I chose to use it as Colouring Therapy.... using Inspiring Foliage

Tracy - today I have used Serenity Earthstar and tag from Serenity collection. Loved colouring her in and using the Autumn colours 

Gail - I've gone for  Halloween make, a pre-made wooden stand decorated using spooktastic images from the Sundae of Seasons collection, available on CD-Rom here.



Katrina - I love the colour of trees in the autumn so for my inspiration card I've stamped a few tumbling leaves using the 'poinsettia' petal from the new Festive Christmas Soup stamps and coloured them with diluted Brushos. The sentiment was printed from the Daisydays CD straight onto some watercolour paper and I extended the twirly bits with a black fineliner pen.

Michelle  For this project I have used the Festive Christmas Collection  I love this collection so easy to make your christmas cards you can get them done so quick and easy

Claire C I've been playing with some of the gorgeous new Polkadoodles dies to make this card. I love these dies and they cut beautifully. I used Bubblicious Frames to create the base and layers. I made the little window using the Versatile Door/Window Die. The flowers and branches were created using Cherry Blossom Branch and Flowers 2. The sentiment is from Lemonade Fizz Stamp Soup set.

Ruth:  I've used the Twiggy and Toots cd to make a card for my Mum's birthday.  I covered the chipboard letters with paper and then coloured with Promarkers.  Chocolate colours always remind me of autumn.....!

Now let's see what wonderful inspiration the Design Team have for you this week.
The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Autumn/Winter colours and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Alysha - Hi there Polkadoodlers its another fab challenge.  This week as always its ANYTHING GOES, but the DT had autumn colours for our inspiration, so I couldn't resist using the beautiful Eden Butterflies from the Eden Collection.  Hugs Aly xx 


Helen - We've gone all Autumnal for our new challenge, so Serenity Fairy Kisses sprang to mind from the Serenity Collection. I just love fairies and Serenity is just so devine. For some reason had to give her green hair well she is an Autumn fairy today.


Pauline - I have used one of my favourite collections, the fabulous Winnie in Wonderland, for my card.  I've been fussy cutting again - I have used a gorgeous topper, some fabulous papers and lots of bits and pieces from the Embellies and Ephemera sections.


Lisa - My card today uses the Sticks & Bones Mammoth Dinosaur Download Bundle. I've coloured up one of the cute images, with alcohol markers and layered her up with some of the fabulous papers and embellishments.


Jacki - For my card this week I have used papers fromWork and Play festive hollybobs collection  and the image and sentiment are from Twiggy and Toots download collection I coloured the image with my Pablo pencils, added some glitter snowflakes and jingle bells for a merry chrimbo card.


Karon - I have the wonderful Dollie Daydream Goes East Collection for my card this week.  I love the papers in this collection.  I have faux paper pieced the clothes in the little image, the rest was coloured with Lyra Pencils.  Added some depth by using some foam dots.


Carol -  I have had so much fun with the Festive Christmas Collection, I decided to use it again this week for our Autumn Colours challenge. I just love all the digital elements in these collections and I used them to make a really quick and easy card today.  I arranged the little robin and clock digital soup element on top of a paper from Octavia Frosted Winter collection, added a tag, sentiment and a bow - then printed it all out and layered it onto a backing card - so quick and easy, just what you sometimes need for a Christmas card.


Elena - Hi there Polkadoodlers.  I like to you use the honey in the fall, especially when the cold becomes strong.  Here's my creative inspiration for this theme, "good honey" produced by HONEY PIE.  For part of the project I used printable digital stamps to the collection WINNIE FRUIT PUNCH BIG BUNDLE.  Also the PUNCH PAPER HEAVEN 3  and PUNCH PAPER HEAVEN 1.


Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 38/39
