Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team....

Tina: I´ve made a door wreath for you. For that i have printed the beautiful Winnie Winterland Paper and cut a lot of stars out of it. The stars were folded in 3D and then glued to a cardboard ring.

In the lower center I put then Mr. & Mrs. Claus, colored with Polychromos and applied some glitter. I like the whole Winnie Winterland Bundle very well. But the selection is really not easy.

Bev here with a flip flop card. I use Winnie Winterland and Ribbon/ Gift dies to decorate.

Angie J - I've made some gorgeous Name Place Tags for Dinner table using Winnie Winterland Collectiion. I've used 2 Digital Papers from the Winnie Winterland Papers Collections Paper Haven 7 and Paper Haven 3 for the Rosettes and Name Place matting. Also used the Design Sheet 13 for the Toppers.  

Michelle - I have used Festive Christmas Collection I have used the pre coloured images and tag and just added some glitter and some Chrissy lights.

  

Scatty Jan - For my card this week I have used the wonderful clear stamp set Christmas Poinsettia/Holly. I stamped the poinsettia twice so I could raise a few of the petals.

Claire C  - I've altered an old clock to make a shaker Christmas Decoration. I coloured the image with Lyra Pencils, it's called Skating Around and you can find it as a digi here or you can get the whole Winnie in Winterland Collection here. I cut the image out, layered it over one of the beautiful backing papers with 3d foamm and added some hills made with torn paper and glitter. I popped in some 'snow' and replaced the glass of the clock with acetate. To decorate the outside of the clock I used white crackle paint and made lots of flowers with foamiran and Polkadoodles cutting dies. I used Flower 1, Flower 2 and Flower Flourish.

Such fabulous creations!.....

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.

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Tina - First I painted the stalk of a big brush first white and then I decorated with many ribbons and lace. Then I glued a few flowers and small beads on it. After then I colored the small "Cleaning Lady" with Polycolor by Lyra and placed on the brush in the scene. A little glitter and a few metal charms round off the work.

Bev here with my cute little 6 x 6 card using a combination of papers & flowers from Lemonade Fizz & the leaves from Bubbleicious Frame. I created a little patchwork background with faux stitching and then wrapped my ribbon around before adhering the shaped flowers & leaves.

Anjie - I used a circle die to create and circular easel card. I used lots of elements from the Winnie in Wonderland collection on this card. This really is one of my all time favourite collections in case you hadn't noticed! I used the small frame die from the Bubbleicious Frames die set to cut out Sydney the White Rabbit. I fussy cut all the embellies and mounted them onto the card using 3D foam. I added some extra interest with the sprig die and the flowers 2 dies. Finally I used some crushed silk ribbon and a jewelled gem to finish it all off.

Scatty Jan - I decided on a box with a matching card  for my project this week.  I used a mixture from the Belle Papillon, Bella Fleur, Dies, Stamps and Papers all can be found here. I doubled up some of the butterflys and flowers for depth. Added a little lace to the box to finish.

Claire C - I've made a card using some of Nikky's beautiful stamps and dies. The papers are from the Belle Papillon Collection and the flowers are stamps from the beautiful Bella Fleur A5 Stamp set . I've die cut the flowers using the Flower Bunch Doublet Die and layered them up with 3d foam pads over the gorgeous Elegant Nest die cuts.

Michelle - For my project this week I decided to use the brand new The Darling Buds Crocus Image I just love these images can't get enough of them. Anyone that tries these image is going to wont more of them.

Such fabulous creations.

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.
