So let's get to today's inspiration... We're bringing you some Christmas in July inspiration today - it's time for those of us who like to be organised or need to make and sell at fayres etc to get started with the big C word - eek!

Rachael - Hi everyone.  It's never too early to make a start on your Christmas cards and these super cute gnomes are perfect for it!  I used the digi stamp called 'put your boots on' which is perfect for wintery cards!  I coloured him using alcohol makers and layered him up with added sparkle for the festive feel.

 Merja - I wanted to make a Christmas card with non-traditional colours. I used super cute Delivering Gifts by Sledge digi stamp and coloured it with alcohol markers using pastel colour scheme.  Then I added some pink and violet background papers on the violet card base. The light violet paper is from Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 2 set. Lastly I added the sentiment from Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna bundle.

 Pam - Shop, shop, shop..... Winnie is starting her Christmas shopping early with her Frosty friend in this 'Snow Shopping' image.  I've  colored it with Copic markers with additional 'Diamond' Stickles added to the fur. The background paper is from Polkadoodles Bright & Beautiful paper pack and the pink polka-dotted trees are die cut using the Polkadoodles Layering Trees Die. Lastly the sentiment is from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment / Quote Bundle. 

Nunzia: making cards for Christmas in July makes me so happy. More this Letters mail Gnome is such a cute image that it is irresistible to color. The papers that I used to cut the banners come from Papers 3 Winnie White Christmas while the sentiment is one of the Gnome tastic sentiments.

ARIADNA - Hello crafters! The challenge of this week is "Get organised for Christmas" and to start preparing our christmas cards!. I fell in love with Elvis Wesley Moose Bauble Decoration  - I colored the stamp with my favorite colour pencils and for the background I drew a christmas ornament with a wihite color pencil and also used some watercolor crayons in different red colors in a craft cardstock.  Hope you like it!
KIM SIMPSON - Who doesn’t love Christmas in July?  I got a jump start on my holiday cards for this week’s challenge!   I created this fun card using the adorable Hollybobs Mistletoe digital stamp and paired it with a die-cut tag and some of the digital papers from the amazing Elvis Wesley Moose collection! 
GABY - I´m so in love with this adorable digital stamp!! For this card I used Robin Gift Branch - Digital Stamp download from the Winnie White Christmas printables. This stamp is super cute and perfect for Christmas cards!! 


Stunning  projects to help inspire you to maybe get started this week! Big thanks to the team!

So let's get to today's inspiration...this week the team were asked to use some shopping inspiration and a specific colour palette - let's see what they made!...

 Judy:  Hello there! My DT project for this week's challenge is shopping themed. I used the Winnie Fruit Punch Busy Day Shopping digi, colored with Prismacolor Pencils & fussy cut. Background papers are from Springin' Around 6x6 Craft Paper Pack & Spring Surprise 6x6 Paper Pack. The flowers were fussy cut from Winnie Sunshine Delights Embellishments Bundle. I used a sentiment from Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiment Bundle.

Jo - Hello Darlings, I hope you are all keeping well. These colours are not what I would normally first reach for, but what I love about these challenges is that they push me out of my comfort zone and I hope you will enjoy participating in this one. I used the adorable 'Winnie Sunshine Delight Shopping Bliss' digital stamp & tried to keep the colours more on the muted side, although added in some vibrancy for the gorgeous mermaid dress. I set the digital images upon some layers; A beautiful pearlised bronze base, followed by a golden/orange flake foil layer, a deep red heart and a pearlised blue scallop. The sentiment is taken from the 'Birthday Celebrations' stamp set embossed in white. I felt the sentiment really suited the beautiful mermaid dress! It really is WOW!
Sarah - I thought it would be fun to make this cute little Honeypie lady look as though she's shopping for her cacti, so I coloured her with my alcohol markers, popped her onto an ink-blended background using Pistachio & Salvaged Patina Distress Oxides (ON SALE!) from Polkadoodles, and added some shopping bags and a sentiment that I cut from the gorgeous Birthday Fun paper pack.
ENRICA - Hi everyone! This week the DT was asked to use a given color palette to create a shopping themed project. For my slimline card I used the cute 'Busy Day Shopping' printable
colored with Copic and Distress Ink for background, the sentiment comes from the Winnie Sunshine Delights Sentiment Bundle. Happy crafty weekend! 
Donna P - For this week’s challenge the DT were given the theme “shopping” and I instantly thought about Rocco shopping for his Fish and Chips while he’s at the beach! I used the Rocco Fish and Chips digi stamp and the Winnie Starfish/Sandcastles Design Sheet 3 

plus, some torn card from my stash. I really love how it turned out!! Visit my blog for a step by step.

Natalia - The theme of the challenge this week is 'shopping'. I decided to use the digistamps from Funny Old Bags. I've chosen Embarrassing Moment. Why?? Whatever age you are, it is always a time for shopping to make you feel better. Be crazy, funny or serious, you choose...
So, this is it, my art journal page with a funny image, acrylic background, and a lot of vintage stamps describing time. Have fun!
Sabina - I created my card using the Winnie Sunshine Delight Shopping Bliss' digital stamp and added her to a simple tag - I really love this colour scheme!
Stunning Summer inspirational projects to help inspire you this week! Big thanks to the team!

So let's get to today's inspiration...this week they've all used a MAGICAL theme!

Rachael - Today I made this adorable friendship card featuring Winnie with the image Missed You and The sentiment is from Winnie celebrations 2.  It feels to hug people again and this would be perfect to tell any friend how much you have missed them! 

Ruth:  The Winnie Let's Hang Out bundle is full of inspiration - I've coloured with Promarkers and then printed some of the papers in different sizes so I didn't lose the pattern.  Sentiment is also from the bundle and I've just added some half pearls and a random button I found in my stash!

Merja - I wanted to do something different so I used black/grey/white combination with a hint of bright blue. I used beautiful Octavia Best Friends image, coloured it with alcohol markers and then cut it with Posydoodles Circles die. The background papers are from Octavia Moonfly Paper Heaven 5 set and text is from Just Lovely Greetings/Sentiments bundle.

Nunzia: today for my card I chose this fun Selfie sparkle Unicorn that is taking a photo for her friend with this cute background made with four Paper windmill printable. All colored with alchool markers and distress oxide inks. The sentiment is from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment bundle.

Ariadna - Hello crafters!! The challenge of this week is "Friends Forever", and thinking in one of my favorites stories, Alice in Wonderland, I thought that the super cute digitalstamp from Polkadoodles "Winnie Wonderland Let's Hurry" was perfect for this project.! To do this card I colored the stamp with my colour pencils and I made a background for the with some spray inks, stencils and some watercolor crayons.  Hope you like it!

Kim Simpson - This week, the Design Team was challenged to create with the theme “Friends Forever”.  I instantly thought of the sweetWinnie Miss You digital image and had to color her up.   I wanted to create a soft, feminine card that will be perfect for my best friend! 

Gaby - I made this slimline card with an adorable digital stamp: Cat Naps-Honeypie. Because our pets can be our best friends too! I also used Winnie Fruit Punch Paper Heaven 1 for my base card and sentiment.

So let's get to today's inspiration...this week they've all used a MAGICAL theme!

We are also saying a huge HELLO & WELCOME to new Team member Sabina who's joining us with her first project, we're so excited to have her on the team!

Sabina - Hello everyone. Today's challenge the theme is Magical Fantasy so I chose Sparkle Unicorn digital stamp which I've coloured with my alcohol markers and added a sentiment from Sparkle Unicorn digital download bundle. I've added some sparkle to the horse hair and tail with a Wink of Stella brush and added some clouds with Distress Ink pad. 

  Judy: The DT was tasked with creating using a Unicorn/Fantasy theme for this week's challenge. I chose to use Ballet Dancing Sparkle Unicorn Colour.  I did a simply designed card using 2 embossing folders and 2 die sets. The sentiment was printed from Sparkle Unicorn Sentiments, fussy cut and inked. I added ribbon, a bow and 3 glitter dots for embellishment.

Jo Laverty - Hello Darlings, How fabulously cheerful is this digital stamp from Polkadoodles? What's even better, this image can help to celebrate a number of different occasions. I paired this image with a sentiment taken from the Big Birthday Surprise stamp set and heat embossed the sentiment in some vibrant colours. For the background, I took the versatile Land and Sea stencil, ink blended a variety of vibrant colours then heat embossed some clear glitter on top to give the card some extra shine.To add dimension to the card, I die cut a flower shape from the background and adhered it to a foam sheet of the same shape. I then popped the digital image onto some 3D foam and placed the image onto the centre of the raised flower. 
Sarah - I had so much fun creating a crazy rainbow background for this cute magical unicorn! I blended a rainbow of distress oxide inks which you can find here and then coloured the unicorn image with my alcohol markers.
ENRICA - Hello everyone! For my fantasy project this week I've made a card in a box using the super cute image called Camera Shy and Hooray together with Colour Sentiments and Accessories from the Sparkle Unicorn digital collection. Totally in love with all these colours! 
Donna Parrott - For this week’s challenge I made a simple mat & layered card using card from my stash and the Surprise Sparkle Unicorn Colour Digi Stamp . I added some glossy accents and gems for some sparkle and  I also used a sentiment from the Sparkle Unicorn Sentiments Digi Bundle

Natalia - This week I'm taking you to the magical fantasy world. My art journal page is based on various stamps available on Polkadoodle's website, but as the main, I use this time a very adorable small house from Rainbow Wishes Toadstool House stamp set, placed among a magic forest as in the fairy tales. The background I created with watercolour paints, Distress, and StazOn inks. I Wish you a creative weekend!
Kim - This week, the Design Team was challenged to create an ocean-themed card.  I decided to try something new and make a round card using the beautiful Meribelle Mermaid Squishy Tail digital stamp.  This stamp was incredibly fun to work with, because the background was pre-colored and the main image was black and white.  I colored her using my Copics, and then added some glitter to her tail and the bubbles.   This card was super fun to create!  I hope you love her as much as I do! 


AMAZING projects this week! Huge thanks to the whole team!
