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!

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I've gone back to the wonderful collection that is Belle Papillon Collection and teamed it with the versatile Flowers 2 Die.  I've layered up one of the butterflies and curled the wings for extra depth.  The flowers have been layered with left over papers plus some blue and white tissue paper that I found in my stash.

Jacki - For my card today I have used the new release Ula's life collection I have really enjoyed using these images in the last week I have coloured her in using Polychromo pencils and then added papers from Octavia collection and added the die border Toadstool I finished off with a floppy bow to complete my card.

Helen - Well what can you say about the fabulous Horace and Boo Collection, so much cuteness all in one place and delicious papers and embellies to. I've teamed them up with some of Nikky's fabulous dies to. I've used Bubbleicious and the Ribbon Gift dies you can find them here at the store.

Pauline - I've used papers from the Belle Papillon Vintage CD to create my card.  The daisy is from the Daisy Daisy Stamp & Cut Set, I stamped and fussy cut it because I didn't want the white border that is left by the die.  The sentiment is from the Daisydays CD and my die cut element is the largest die from the Ribbon/Gift Frames & Corners die set.

Karon - I have used the wonderful Lavender Tea Collection for the papers in my card today.  My flowers are cut using the Flowers 2 Die, along with the Elegant Flourish Die and the Flower Flourish Die to add some leafy elements.  Also just had to use the Elegant Nesting Dies - set of 3 to layer up.

Lisa - I have made a card using papers and elements from Belle Papillon Big Kahuna Download. I have also used a one of the dies from the Elegant Nest Dies but I changed it up a little by cutting out the middle of the die cut.

Carol - I made a card using paper from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles Paper 3 download and the gorgeous Friendly Cuddles from the Horace and Boo Collection coloured in with copics. Using dies to cut my scalloped oval and lacy decorations for the card, topped off with some tulips and a bow.

Such fabulous creations!...

Week 16 - Anything Goes - Polkadoodles Paper Crafting Challenge

Shop on Etsy

--------------------------------------------------------------

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

Horace & Boo....

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

Ruth:  I've gone with Work and Play Vol 12 and used various different elements from the design sheet plus a wooden stick and some die cut silver stars.  The Design sheets are great - print out, cut out the elements and then move them around for different combinations until you're happy with the layout!

Alysha ~ This week at Polkadoodles the DT are “Using a design sheet for our inspiration, here I have used Starfish and Sandcastles Design Sheet 11 hugs Aly xx

Helen - So excited this is the first time I've used Helga the Hippo, she's just adorable. I've used parts of two of the design sheets in the Helga Hippo collection that you can buy in pairs. Here's the ones I used http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/helga-hippo-design-sheet-13-duo-download/. They're just so versatile and Helga is a must for any project. I made a stepper card from the design sheets and added a couple of those fabulous dies from Nikky. The cherry blossom branch to make the tree and the door to make a shed, which I used a paper from the Starfish and Sandcastles collection as its such groovy wood.

Karon - My eldest Daughter is just finishing her first year at college, to be a Veterinary Technician.  I couldn't resist using the Design sheet from the Work & Play 12 collection. You can buy the whole collection HERE or as a Mini Vet/Dog Groomer/Cat Grooming Bundle, where you get the female and male vets, and lots of other goodies too :-)  This Z fold card is to wish her luck in her 2nd Semester exams - and then she will be home for the summer months :-) Yay :-)

Pauline - I have created a card using a design sheet from the adorable Twiggy & Toots Collection.  I used the decoupage image - I love my fussy cutting.  The sentiment, papers and flowers all come from the collection.  I also used the largest of the Elegant Nest Dies and the Flower Flourish Die.

Lisa - I've made a card using one of the Helga design sheets that you can download from a set of two here.

Carol - Today I have used Design Sheet 4  from Winne Sugar Sprinkles collection.
