Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Tina: I decorated a picture frame and used a Design Sheet from Winnie Sugar Sprincle - No.3
The Big Bundle Winnie Sugar Sprincle you can find hereThe flowers I have made from Foamiran itself. Everywhere a bit glitter glue on it, gives the whole a sweet playfulness. 
Lou: I have used one of the design sheets from the Winnie In Wonderland collection to create my card. Gilding flakes and glitter glue add to the card design but other that that, it's all Winnie ...

AnjieI've used design sheet 1 from the ever so sweet Winnie Sugar Sprinkles collection. I started by drawing faux stitching around the edge of the card and running an ink pad around the edge of the paper. I then fussy cut and mounted all the embellies on to 3D foam before placing them on the card. 
Claire C I've made a cute chocolate themed card using one of the papers and Design Sheets from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles, you can find the sheet I used here or you can buy the full collection here
Bev here, I thought I'd use Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Design Sheet. I'm amazed at how much Nikky manages to cram onto one of these things. I left the little banner plain for now that way I can personalise it for my intended recipient. 
Michelle For my project I have used Sugar Sprinkle Collection I have just used a Design sheet to make this card Winnie Sugar Sprinkle Design sheet 1  There is so much to create with on the design sheets they are marvellous...
Such fabulous creations from the team, make sure you check out all those lovely Design Sheets we've been using!

Hello! We are starting a New Challenge this week...

ANYTHING GOES

Closes Noon, GMT, Friday 5 May. Winner will receive a $10 voucher to the Polkadoodles Digi Store.

You do not need to use Polkadoodles Products to enter our challenges, but we do love seeing your fabulous creations with Polkadoodles images.
We only have a few little rules and they are over there in the side bar ------->

Before we see what the Design Team have been up to, have you seen the latest Polkadoodles New Release?
Say hello to the Fabulous, super adorable and cutest new collection

Aren't they totally adorable.  You can check out the Polkadoodles Gallery for the latest

creations by the Design Team using this wonderful collection HERE!

And why not pop along to our fabulous POLKADOODLES FACEBOOK GROUP, there
is always lots of daily inspiration to see and to get those creative juices flowing.

Now let's see what wonderful inspiration the Design Team have for you this week....
The DT's twist on the challenge theme is to use A Design Sheet from one of the collections,
and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Jacki - For my cards this week I was spoiled for choice I had already designed my first card using Sticks and Bones DS 2  Then our lovely Nikky goes and releases the ubber cute Horace and Boo so I decided to use one of these as well, well who can resist! Both cards were super easy to make For the sticks and Bones I used a paper and image with greeting and attached them to my card blank using some bones as embellies. For my other this was just using just a topper from DS 2 and then using an embellishment (fishbowl) to finish.

Ruth:  I've used one of the design sheets from Work and Play Vol 12 plus added some buttons and black card from my stash.  Really nice and easy to use plus I can get two cards plus lots of extra elements from one sheet!
Helen - Feeling a bit pretty and delicate for this challenge, so I chose to use one of the beautiful design sheets from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles collection for my project. I made a card with a little wrap around the front using one of the beautiful Elegant nest dies, so I have 2 photos to share with you the outside and the inside. You can find this beautiful sheet right here at the store http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/digital-decoupage-design-sheets/?sort=newest&page=4 and the Elegant nest die right here http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/elegant-nest-set-of-3-craft-cutting-dies/

Karon - I have used the delightful Helga Hippo Collection and one of the wonderful Design sheets from the collection (Design sheet 2-06 in the collection). This design sheet is also part of a Duo Design sheet download #9 if you only want to buy just a couple to make a card :-)  I have also used the Flower Flourish Die.  This card is just 4" by 4" and is to be part of a gift set.
Pauline - I decided to use a fun design sheet from the Work & Play 11 Collection to create my card, I printed the sheet twice so that I could add a decoupage layer and added some of the super papers and a sentiment from the collection.  There are two images, two sentiments and embellishments on each design sheet so I have enough left over to create another card.
Carol - so today I have made a super sweet card featuring Design Sheet 10 from the fabulous Horace and Boo collection.

Lisa - For my make I have used a design sheet from Work & Play 5 Festive Hollybobs Collection. I've teamed the elements with some patterned papers from the same collection and made a clean & simple Z fold Christmas card.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you....

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 14/15

 Jacki - For my card I have gone completely out of my comfort zone and gone in another direction totally to my usual cards (but boy did I have fun) I hae made a dainty 4½ x 6½" card using papers from the Beau paperie collection I then used embellishments (dress and butterflies) from the Summertie collection and the Winston collection. The chipboard frame and dressmaker dummy are from my stash.


Ruth -  I've gone big and bold this week - I've made a shaped number card using my own templates and a paper from the Frederika Mini CD Collection plus two wooden skewers  and I've made the bunting myself plus added some star die cuts.


Helen - So the DT are making anything but a square card. Now I know our Nikki has some fabby templates so I went to Lavender Tea and hey presto there was a beautiful flowerpot and I had to do some colouring to so what better that a Darling Buds this little beauty is crocus. You can find everything at the store here http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/lavender-tea-printables-cd-rom-craft-scrapbooking-collection/ and here http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/the-darling-buds-big-bundle-digital-craft-digi-stamp-downloads/



Pauline - I decided to create a Side Step Card for this weeks challenge. I used the gorgeous Just For You Winnie stamp from the Winnie Sugar Blossom Stamp & Paper Pad Boxed Gift Set. I teamed her up with papers from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Download Bundle.  The sentiment and flowers are also from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Download Bundle.


Carol - For my DT inspiration this week, I have made a cute Easter basket featuring Helga and filled it with delicious goodies.


CreativEle - My love for Helga Collection brings me for this new project to create a card box.
I have used one of  the 28 printable sheets and digi HELGA is colored with my worn out pencils.


Karon - I have used the wonderful Belle Papillon Collection for my shaped easel card.  I love all the papers, floral elements and beautiful butterflies in this wonderful set.  I also used the versatile Flower Flourish Die.


Lisa - For my 'Anything but Square' make I have made a shaped card and decorated it with stamping, papers and dies from the Belle Papillon Paper Craft Kit and an oval from the Bubbleicious Frames die set.

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

TinaThis time I made an Explosion Box and used the "Stick & Bones - Big Bundle".
Each area is 4 x 4 inch and the inhabitants I have colored with Polychromos. Much more photos and details you find on my Blog.


























Scatty Jan - For my project this week I have made a saloon milk carton - I cut this on my portrait and was a lot of fun decorating up - I used the lovely images from Work & Play 3, that I coloured up using Graph'It Markers, You can also purchase the images seperately Cowboy as a digi image, also as a  clear stamp, and Cowgirl as a digi stamp - Lots more photo's on my blog.


Bev here with a cute 3D Birdhouse using Twiggy & Toots. I initially chose 7 printed 3 separate backing papers onto 300gsm card then turned them over and printed the templates onto the rear then simply cut them out and constructed the project and just for a little decoration I made some roses using the Flowers 1 Die set and added them to the roof.



Lou - I have used one of the design sheets from Winnie in Wonderland collection to create a circle rocker/stepper card. The only other embellishment added is a small piece of black lace ...




Michelle  - I have made a Twist and Pop Card and I have used Winnie In Wonderland Big Kahuna Bundle to make it. This was a lot of fun to make you can find the Video I used to make it on my blog.




AnjieI have used left over bits of design sheet 1 from the ever so cute Sticks and Bone collection. I used the other bits for a make a few weeks ago. This is why it's always worth while saving the bits that are left over. I've placed the image and all the embellies on to 3D foam to make them pop. I've shaped and layered the flowers and added to the edge of the card.


Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.
