Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks  42/43   

will be announced at the end of this post....

This week we are sharing with you a lovely project made by Sandra you can visit her lovely blog here.
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.

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Lou: I have again used the wonderful Festive Christmas soup stamps to create my card. I have kept my colour palate very autumnal with reds, golds and green. Except for the ribbon and lace, Everything else has been created using the stamp sets

Scatty Jan I adore the colours of Autumn and for my project this week I decorated a large leaf shaped card using the wonderful  Autunm Fall digi stamp collection, of course the star of the show had to be Mr Scarecrow. The Paper used is from Work and Play 10 Country Life 

Anjie - I have used the frabjous Winnie In Wonderland Collection CD to make  this. You can also get this in a download format HERE, and in smaller separate items HERE.

I have used Tweedledee image twice here.

Bev here with my seasonal inspiration, Autumn is my favourite time of year so I chose to use it as Colouring Therapy.... using Inspiring Foliage

Tracy - today I have used Serenity Earthstar and tag from Serenity collection. Loved colouring her in and using the Autumn colours 

Gail - I've gone for  Halloween make, a pre-made wooden stand decorated using spooktastic images from the Sundae of Seasons collection, available on CD-Rom here.

Katrina - I love the colour of trees in the autumn so for my inspiration card I've stamped a few tumbling leaves using the 'poinsettia' petal from the new Festive Christmas Soup stamps and coloured them with diluted Brushos. The sentiment was printed from the Daisydays CD straight onto some watercolour paper and I extended the twirly bits with a black fineliner pen.

Michelle  For this project I have used the Festive Christmas Collection  I love this collection so easy to make your christmas cards you can get them done so quick and easy

Claire C I've been playing with some of the gorgeous new Polkadoodles dies to make this card. I love these dies and they cut beautifully. I used Bubblicious Frames to create the base and layers. I made the little window using the Versatile Door/Window Die. The flowers and branches were created using Cherry Blossom Branch and Flowers 2. The sentiment is from Lemonade Fizz Stamp Soup set.

Ruth:  I've used the Twiggy and Toots cd to make a card for my Mum's birthday.  I covered the chipboard letters with paper and then coloured with Promarkers.  Chocolate colours always remind me of autumn.....!

Such fabulous creations!

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Helen - It will soon be here only a few more weeks to go, Yeah!!!  I love Christmas and so do Twiggy and Toots, so I've used their Festive Fun collection for my little bit of inspiration.  There's even loads of fab templates you can use.  I used a scene and embellies from the CD and one of the fab images and coloured it with copics. Merry Christmas PF fans!!

Alysha - Hello Polkadoodlers, this week I have been getting messy and created a lovely spritzed card This has been created using the BRAND NEW release of Stamp Soup Festive Christmas Kit

Looking forward to seeing your projects this week, hugs Aly xxx

Pauline - I have made a wall hanging using the fabulous new Festive Christmas Collection, the adorable Robin and beautiful Poinsettias are from the CD, I have printed them out and fussy cut them - I love fussy cutting, I find it so relaxing.  The sentiment is also from the CD, I printed it onto one of the backing papers.

Lisa -  I like to make a variety of Christmas cards, some more complex and some simple easy to produce designs. For these cards I have used the Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Download Collection. I faded the bauble digis to pale grey and placed them behind the sentiment, before printing onto white linen card. 

Karon - I had to finally get my Christmas hat on :-)  So I decided to have a play with the wonderful Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Collection.  All the elements are from this wonderful collection. (The aperture card was designed using by electronic cutting machine).  It's meant to be a door and then you open the door to the super cute carolers Twiggy and Toots :-)

Carol - I've had a lot of fun with the new  Festive Christmas Collection  and added some papers and the most gorgeous Angel Owl from the Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Collection. I printed Angel Owl and coloured her with my copics, fussy cut her out and then added her to the card layered up with papers, a tag, a flower and some holly leaves.  So much festive fun.

Elena - I used the Husky Hugs of Octavia collection Frosted Winter, the scenery is made with Picknix Collection 2 - Gingerbread Twist.

Ruth:  I've made some really quick and simple pillow boxes for gift cards for my three nieces this Christmas - I've used Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun and added one of the little characters as a gift tag.

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

The DT's twist on the challenge theme is........Christmas

and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Lou: I have used the new Festive Christmas stamps to create my project - Christmas lights. I have stamped the different sized poinsettia petalplaced a light in the flower centre.

Tracy - I used Design Sheet 2 from Work & Play - Festive Hollybobs. Lots of fussy cutting and inking. Relaxing to put all together and easy to  make.

Anjie -  I used the Octavia Frosted Winter collection to create this Christmas decoration. Lots more details and photos on my blog.

Michelle For my project I have used Work and Play 5 Hollybobs Collection I used the paper,

 embellishments and image from the collection I have coloured the image with copics

Katrina - I have used the gorgeous new Christmas Soup collection for my card. I built up the flowers by stamping one petal at a time and painting in with masking fluid as I went. The sentiment and backing paper were arranged in CraftArtist before printing over the top of the masked flowers. I watercoloured the flowers using Spectrum Aqua pens, added a bit of glitter and glued polystyrene balls in the centres.

Claire C  For my DT project this time I've made a shadow box using some of the papers and stamps from the Christmas Soup Collection. I printed this gorgeous paper out 3 times, cut the skyline out and layered them up inside the canvas. The Christmas trees and robin were stamped and cut out and layered up with silicone glue. I covered the outside of the canvas with texture paste and sprinkled with glitter for a frosty sparkle

Bev here with a quick card made using the fabulous new Festive Christmas CD which you hopefully ordered from Nikky's show on Create and Craft recently? If not it's available to pre order HERE. I opted from pre coloured images but made sure I added loads of sparkle!!

Scatty Jan For my project this week  I decorated a skate using lots of fun elements from The Festive Christmas Collection. I adore that fun snowman

  

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.
