Closes Noon, GMT, Friday 11th August.          

Our random winner will receive a $10/£7.50 voucher for the Polkadoodles Digi Store.

You do not need to use Polkadoodles products to enter our challenges.

Have you seen all our wonderful new releases in store this week? We have so many new rubber and clear stamps, paper packs, digis, digi scrap kits all in store and released over the past couple of weeks so make sure you check them all out!

Now let's see what wonderful inspiration the Design Team have for you this week.

The DT's twist on the challenge theme is still Christmas after all we do need to get those Christmas creations made!....It's only 152 days or 21 Weeks left - Mwahahahaha :-) and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it, it's entirely your choice...

Tina - This time I have decorated for you a sled, which is drawn by 4 sweet reindeer. Colored with Polycolor Pens from Lyra. On the sled greet 2 owls for Christmas and bring beside a Christmas tree also many gifts with. You'll find the tree and the gifts out from Octavia - Frosted Winter. The owls and reindeer come from the set Twiggy & Toots. See my blog for more photos :-)

 

Angie J - So I had some Christmassy fun with a Winnie Winterland Collection Design Sheet.

I used Design Sheet 7 and repurposed a lolly jar and a notebook. It's hard to tell on the notebook, but the flowers have been shaped a bit for a slight 3D effect so they don't sit flat on the cover.

Michelle I have used Winnie Winter Land Collection I have made another tag using a digi image and coloured with copics I also used the Versatile  Door / Window / Flap  Die to make the door and it opens to see a snow princess.

Bev here and I couldn't resist a play with Robin Cuddles this fortnight, aren't they adorable? I had a go at water colouring. I think I need a bit more practice but it certainly gives a different look. The papers and sentiment are from Festive Christmas and the additional holly embellishment is a stamp on the Santa Claus set.

Scatty Jan for my project this week I made another pocket letter, I do love these there so much fun putting together, I mainly used Winnie Winter Land Collection adding in a few stamps from regal peacock set , I do love how everything will work together.

Anjie -  To make this I've used the fabulous Baked With Love Collection, again! You can also get this in download format should you want it right now. Lots more details on my blog.

Claire C - I've been playing with the gorgeous Regal Peacock stamps to make my Christmas project, those feathers make fantastic Christmas trees with a few glittery baubles!

Lou: Inspired by all the snowflakes created using the Regal Peacock stamp soup set, I had to have a go myself. I've teamed up my projects with Elegant Nest and Ribbon Gift die sets.More details on each card can be found on my blog.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you as always!

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 28/29 will be announced next Friday.

Obviously you don't have to use Gingers but I don't need an excuse lol x

Anjie - I have used the stunning Winnie Winterland collection to make this tag. I've done some paper patchwork and inked the edges with a distress ink before gluing them in place.

Sandra won one of our competions that we hold over on our Facebook group and has become our November Fest GDT - keep watching to see more of Sandra's lovely work over the next few weeks
This wonderful advent uses many different collections from Polkadoodles and atands at an amazing 2ft tall!!

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I've printed two of the silvery grey papers from Winnie Winterland and used these to weave a background - I lightly distressed the edges of the strips before weaving for a more shabby chic feel.  The image is also from the same download (pre coloured), printed onto linen effect white card.  Everything else is from my stash

Tracy - I have used Festive Christmas collection. I love the rich colours in this collection and are having a lot of fun playing... and weaving!

Scatty Jan For my weaving of papers , I made some little hanging ornaments, very simple just using 12 small slices of paper, great to use some of those oddments you have hanging about - Papers and images all from Winnie Winterland

Gail - I've created a star wreath with a simply origami fold, using the delicious papers from the Festive Christmas collection and also the Bubbleicious die.

Bev here with my inspiration. I decided to create a festive notebook for my Christmas card list using Baked with Love

Anjie - Well, I've never done paper weaving before so this was new to me. Of course I'm on with making my Christmas tags so thought I'd try it on one of those so I didn't get overwhelmed. I have used the Festive Christmas Stamp Soup collection for this, both the CD and the stamp set. As always lots more details and photos on my blog.

Claire C I've used papers, embellies, flowers and one of the gorgeous images from the Winnie Winterland collection to make my card. You can also get the image on it's own here.  I got in a bit of a tangle with the paper weaving but managed to crack it in the end lol. The image has been coloured with Graph'It Markers, I've coloured the fox in creams to make it a lovely puss cat and I've used Polkadoodles dies to cut the flowers (Flowers 1) and the focal image (Bubblicious Frames). 

Michelle  I have used Baked with Love Gingerbread Bundle  this is the cutest bundle and so much fun to use I have also The new Dies Ribbon Frame and corners  and Bubblelicious frames and fancies

I also used Paper from the bundle and cut it into strips to weave it together 

Such fabulous creations.
