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

Angie - I am starting with ULA's Life Collection and chose to use ULA Be Strong for my card image along with one of the 2 sentiments from ULA Be A Unicorn. I thought her hair bun looked like a Unicorn horn and with her sassy attitude was the perfect sentiment. It's so easy to mix and match in these collections to give yourself more choices. The gorgeous background paper is ULA Paper (up04). Coloured using Alcohol markers.

Tina - This time I have created a Easel Card for you and used Octavia -Winter Time from the collection Octavia - Frosted Winter. I colored with Polychromos. The background paper and the frame is also from the Octavia collection.

Scatty Jan - For my card this week I am using the wonderful Winnie Special Moments collection, I love all these cute characters and the papers are truly amazing, This is  made up from Digi elements

Anjie - I have used is the fab Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection. I've drawn some faux stitch lines around the edge of the background layer which is mounted onto the card on 3D foam. Then I've simply used 3 banners and the boat, all fussy cut and mounted onto 3D foam, and there you have it.

Bev here, my inspiration began with this fab distressed 'driftwood' effect backing paper which I spotted on the Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles collection and I built my card up from that, I used one of the sentiments and creatied my own decoupage by printing off four of the floral elements and cutting bits away. & layering them up.

Michelle - For my project I have used the Winnie Special Moments Collection I have used one of the black and white images and printed it in craft card stock and then coloured with prisma pencils I have also used one of the word arts from the collection as well.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.....

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 24/25

Helen - Don't you just love Helga? This Hippo is just adorable and she's gone a bit dotty as she  just loves polka dots. You can find the big kahuna collection here at the store. I've teamed her up with some of those fab Polkadoodles dies to including one of the beautiful LDRS ones the Dainty Doily

Ruth:  Did you know that girly collections are not just for girly cards?!  I've used papers from Fredericka Mini CD collection and made a cute Father's Day card!  I've also added dotted liquid pearls and silver circle die cuts.

Shylaa - How cute is this Ula. Don't you hear the whispering of those lovely beauties.This stamp is from - Ula's life - Ula Don't listen.The gorgeous flowers are from the Horace & Boo Design sheet collection. Just outlined the card with hand drawn borders.Fuzzy the flowers from the design sheet and added pearl to its center.Adhered the fuzzy cut ula to the cardbase with foam tape.

Jacki - Hello for my make today I have used the beautiful Ula I love this image (inner Beauty )for my papers I have used various collections getting all the polka dots I could find lol (love them) the flowers are from the new release Lil' miss sunshine

Karon - I have used the lovely Lavender Tea Download collection for all of my card today.  All the papers are from this collection, including the flowers and the sentiment.  I love the colour palette in this collection, so calming.

Janet Craftica - Today I'm working on my planner again, this time I made a kit of dividers, using Polkadoodles design papers. I took all the polka dots papers I found on these kits #1#2 #3

which are part of the Li'l' Miss Sugarpops.  Using my electronic cutting machine program I created the dividers templates and added the papers as background color then added one of the images from the same KITS which you can find  HERE.  Finally I added a quote, printed, and cut everything getting as a result these lovely dividers for planners.

Carol - For today's make I am using Footballer from Work and Play 6. To add polka dots I used one of the background papers from the collection.I coloured my little soccer player with my copics.

Lisa - I picked some lovely polka dot papers from the Winnie in Wonderland Download Collection to make my card along with plenty of embellishments/design sheet elements from the same collection and the Winnie Wonderland digi stamp, which I printed on Kraft card and coloured with my alcohol markers. It wasn't until after I assembled the card I realised I had hidden all my polka dot papers! Some white acrylic paint to the rescue.....I added polka dots to Winnie's dress and some of the heart embellishments.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

We would like you to give a warm welcome to Shylaa and Janet, our newest members of the Polkadoodles Design Team....See their wonderful creations below and why not pop along to their fabulous blogs.

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from all of the Design Team.

Shylaa: It is always fun to have a friend to play in sunshine. I have created a scenic card using Horace & Boo collection. Created the background using stencils and adhered the precoloured digis to create playful scene.

Craftica Here! Sunshine Yellows was a very fun theme for me I love to work my planner every week with a different theme or color and I decide to use A design sheet from the online Polkadoodles STORE.  It was easy to print at home great colors and a lot of fun in one sheet.

I was able to decorate the complete week spread using a single design sheet, it has lots of images and you can get may ideas out of it, So I think probably will continue using these as there are lots of themes and colors!

Jacki  - Hello PD friends this challenge really got me thinking of sunny days especially with the weather we've been having I have used Daffodil Darling bud from the Darling Buds Collection. I have coloured her with polychromo pencils, keeping the card pretty CAS to keep the focus on the gorgeous image.

Helen - It's that time of year when you start to think about a bit of decorating and what better than some lovely sunshine yellow!! If you don't get the paint all over the carpet like me. Best to stick to some wallpapering like the fabulous Painter/Decorator image from the Work and Play 11 Collection. You can find it right here in the store http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/work-play-11-download-digital-crafting-collection/....

Lisa - For today's make I have created a card using papers, dies and stamps from the Belle Papillon Papercraft Kit along with the Elegant Nest Dies....

Ruth:  I've made a cute pinwheel embellishment to sit on top of a gift box.  I've used papers from the Serenity download - making two large pinwheels and a small one, layering up and securing with a brad.

Carol - I've been so busy with a new job that I hardly have had time to get into my craft room, so today I made a quick shaped card using the pre-coloured Daffodil Darling Bud from the Darling Buds Collection - I love the sunshine yellows and it really brightens the wintery days we are having in Sydney this week.

Karon - I have used the wonderful Dollie Daydream Goes East collection for all the papers and the sentiment on my card today.  Then using the wonderful Polkadoodles Dies, Flower Flourish, Elegant Flourish, Flowers 2 Die and finally the Super Sprigs Die.  A little bit of inking around the edges and all done :-)

Such fabulous creations! Wow!
