Naz - The image I have used is from Polkadoodles Work and Play 10 - Country Life.
This collections is one of my favourite collections from Polkadoodles.
It features 10 fantastic themed characters. It also includes backing papers, sentiments, paper bow sheets, ...I coloured the image using Lyra Pencils and then added some Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen. The sentiment I have used here is also from the same collection.

Anjie - I have used one of the designs from the fabulous Colour Therapy Florabunda CD, you can also get this as a download HERE if you can't wait for a CD to arrive! This is one of the 6x6 designs and I have made a card blank to fit it using a Tattered Lace Essentials die. In the stripes around the image I've used a Sakura Tiara gold pen to add a bit of glitter, and some gems on the base. More pics and details on my blog.

Julie -- The 'S' is one of the new, fabulous adult coloring pages.  This is Adult Coloring Pages, Alphabet 1.  I colored it with Copic markers. The designer paper on the top layer of the frame is from the Rose Budd Craft Collection Download. It's available in CD, too.   I love Autumn colors, and these new coloring pages are going to be so. much. FUN!

Bev here with my creation I used my Lyra Rembrandt Pencils to colour in one of the Colour Therapy 1 sheets and combined it with the fox from Work & Play 10 - Country Life collection again coloured up with Lyra. The sentiment is from the same collection and was then embossed with a leaf design and inked with distress inks to match. I finished by adding a paper bow & a bit of bling.

Claire C I've used elements from the Autumn/Fall digi bundle (which you can find here, what  bargain!!) to create my little canvas. I've used my Lyra pencils to colour them

Penny here with two creations... I quickly ran home tonight to create a project after realising my first attempt wasn't fitting the theme.. I went Autumn and missed the Autumn colour rude.. Oops.   I used the Autumn bundle and created this CAS card initially

After realising my error I grabbed my image I was playing with for another project (stay tuned for later in the year for my plans for the image below.. I'm excited.)

I used my real brush markers and added lots of layers of colours to achieved a rustic wood feel, the digi lends itself to adding colours and just playing.  I will definitely be trying my hand at watercolour again, this image would be stunning in pencils too.   You can find the Lemonade Stand image in the Picknix Collection 1.   It comes in a pre-coloured version to that is devine with its pastel colourings.

What fantastic makes from the team!

Autumn Colours

Scatty Jan - For this week’s project I have used the lovely Geek , I think she is lovely. I have also used one of the flowers from the Back to Nature set which is divine - there are so many lush flowers on there. I coloured Geek using promarkers and added glossy accents to her glasses. Made some backing paper and a large flower using the back to nature set which was also used on her dress.

Zoe - This week I have made a clean and simple card using the gorgeous Tilly Reading digi image & I also used leaves from a flower.  You can find lots of accent digi images, like flowers, in the digi download section. I used a simple dotty embossing folder to create the background. I coloured all of the images with a mix of markers including the gorgeous Graph It markers. Sometimes keeping the background white & simple lets the images jump off the page!

Anjie for my card the image I have used is the Emma Canning Under The Weather Digital Stamp  which is an instant download so no waiting to play, how fab is that!

I have coloured the image with my Graph' It Markers and the papers are from the Pretty Tuff CD Rom! Who would have thought you could use a male orientated product to create a female card? That's how versatile the Polka Doodles CD's are! I have made the paper roses by cutting a circle out and then cutting it into a spiral and rolling it. I have also added some spiders web and flourishes.

Sarah - I picked a really cute, whimsical Emma Canning image - Deer Friend - for my card this week.  I thought she would really suit Autumnal colours.  For my papers I chose Sugar Boys Download, which has some gorgeous colours in the collection. I coloured my image with ProMarkers, with chalking to create the background then used a die to cut it out.  I added a ribbon, some corner dies, created a sentiment on my computer.  I don't very often distress papers, but it appealed to me this time so I inked and distressed the edges of my papers and the card was completed.

Cara ...This week everything for my card comes from the Girls Hoot download bundle.  There's so much in this bundle ... everything you need to make a whole card from scratch.

Kevin...I thought the Autumn colours would be great for a men's theme this week so I chose this handsome fella which is an Emma Canning digi. Emma has some great male themed images in the digistore...

Joanne- I just had to use the Anya digistamp for the Autumn colours challenge this week, I think her windswept look is perfect for Autumn :) I paired the image with a gorgeous backing paper from The Emma Canning animals and nature digi collection and added some ribbon and lace. I printed a sentiment and cut it out with my Cameo and had to add a silver, glittery lining to my cloud.

Sally - Hi there, for this week's challenge "Autumn Colours" I chose a black and white image from the Featherbird digi download. I printed it on cream and cut it out using a Spellbinders die and then used pan pastel "yellow ochre" around the edges. I mounted that on another Spellbinder die and used "orange extra dark" pan pastel around the edge to give it an aged look. Matted and layered brown, rust and cream cardstock for the background and mounted it on a dark brown card.  I then die cut two feathers and added a sentiment.

Susan -   3rd challenge already can you believe how fast the weeks are passing. For my card this week I have used Girls Hoot ,I just love this collection and the image is Libby Carefree by Nikky.
I have matted and layered using some chocolate mirror board ,the leafs and acorns are made with Martha Stewart paper clay and silicone moulds then covered with PanPastels  Metallic

Debbi - I have to say Autumn is my favorite season. I love the colours it brings. For my project I have made an Autumn wreath, using the incredible versatile Boys Hoot Bundle. The papers were the perfect colours to go with this weeks theme. I also added some Glossy accent to make the berries shine. And isn't the owl a such cutie? :)

So there is all the fab inspiration from the team - I'm sure you'll agree that they're all superb makes!
