Now let's see what wonderful inspiration the Design Team have for you this week...The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Polka Dots...

Helen - Don't you just love Helga? This Hippo is just adorable and she's gone a bit dotty as she  just loves polka dots. You can find the big kahuna collection here at the store. I've teamed her up with some of those fab Polkadoodles dies to including one of the beautiful LDRS ones the Dainty Doily

Ruth:  Did you know that girly collections are not just for girly cards?!  I've used papers from Fredericka Mini CD collection and made a cute Father's Day card!  I've also added dotted liquid pearls and silver circle die cuts.

Shylaa - How cute is this Ula. Don't you hear the whispering of those lovely beauties.This stamp is from - Ula's life - Ula Don't listen.The gorgeous flowers are from the Horace & Boo Design sheet collection. Just outlined the card with hand drawn borders.Fuzzy the flowers from the design sheet and added pearl to its center.Adhered the fuzzy cut ula to the cardbase with foam tape.

Jacki - Hello for my make today I have used the beautiful Ula I love this image (inner Beauty )for my papers I have used various collections getting all the polka dots I could find lol (love them) the flowers are from the new release Lil' miss sunshine

Karon - I have used the lovely Lavender Tea Download collection for all of my card today.  All the papers are from this collection, including the flowers and the sentiment.  I love the colour palette in this collection, so calming.

Janet Craftica - Today I'm working on my planner again, this time I made a kit of dividers, using Polkadoodles design papers. I took all the polka dots papers I found on these kits #1#2 #3

which are part of the Li'l' Miss Sugarpops.  Using my electronic cutting machine program I created the dividers templates and added the papers as background color then added one of the images from the same KITS which you can find  HERE.  Finally I added a quote, printed, and cut everything getting as a result these lovely dividers for planners.

Carol - For today's make I am using Footballer from Work and Play 6. To add polka dots I used one of the background papers from the collection.I coloured my little soccer player with my copics.

Lisa - I picked some lovely polka dot papers from the Winnie in Wonderland Download Collection to make my card along with plenty of embellishments/design sheet elements from the same collection and the Winnie Wonderland digi stamp, which I printed on Kraft card and coloured with my alcohol markers. It wasn't until after I assembled the card I realised I had hidden all my polka dot papers! Some white acrylic paint to the rescue.....I added polka dots to Winnie's dress and some of the heart embellishments.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 22/23 will be announced next Friday.

Now let's see the wonderful DT inspiration - the DT's twist on the challenge theme is Use a Die and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Tina - This time I designed an elves house. I used the Belle Papillon Kahuna Bundle and for the shield on the roof the middle size of the oft the Die Cut Set Elegant Nest. The house is made of a chips roll and for the roof I did Cardstock curled up and covered with many small pieces of paper.

A corner of the squares was rounded and wiped with stamp ink. A few half beads, a miniature frame, some glitter and real moss make the house to a dreamy shelter for small elves. 

Anjie - For this card I have used the paper pad from the Bella Papillon crafting kit. You can also buy the paper on it's own HERE. I have then stamped the flower from the Bella Fleur craft kit. You can also buy the stamp set on it's own HERE. I have then cut out a frame using the Elegant Nest set of 3 dies. I used the same die to cut out the flower and trimmed it down to size. I then added a bow and some flourish die cuts behind it.

Michelle - For this card I have used Lavender Tea Collection this collection is beautiful such gorgeous colours I have also used Polkadoodles Dies Ribbon Gift Frames and Corners these dies are just beautiful to use.

Scatty Jan use a die cut , so easy with the new range of Polkadoodles dies that are now available - The die I used is a doublet die , absolutely adoring these dies with matching stamps. The papers used are from the new collection and the mannequin is from the CD - Find all the goodies here.

Claire C with so many gorgeous new dies available from Polkadoodles choosing my dies was the real challenge here lol.  I've used papers, stamps and dies from the Belle Papillon Papercrafting Kit and added some flowers from the Bella Fleur Paper craft Kit to make this shabby chic card.

Bev here, I decided to make a birthday card for my Step Dad using the adorable Winston Download Collection and for the dies I used both the Super Sprigs and Ribbon/Gift Frames & Corners.

Lou: I've used the wonderful Belle Papillon and Bella Fleur stamp, paper and dies collections to create my card. Images coloured with pan pastels with a light glitter finish.

Gail - I've used the delicious Belle Papillon printable collection, available on CD-ROM or as a download, along with the Elegant Nest die and co-ordinating Belle Papillon stamp set and dies, Butterfly die and Elegant Flourish die.

The DT's twist on the challenge theme is to Weave some Paper and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Alysha -  I cut out a tree shape with my Cameo and then weaved the pattern behind the tree using Polkadoodles Xmas Papers and matted it onto some red card. Looking forward to seeing your projects this week.

Helen - I've dusted off my paper weaving and made a background paper using papers from the new Baked with Love Collection to go with the little ginger in her snowglobe. I've added some flowers and a festive decoration from the collection to. You can find everything  right here.

Pauline - I've used four papers from the Lavender Tea CD to weave a background for my clean and simple Winter Birthday card, the flower is also from the CD.

Jacki - For my card I have used The festive Christmas collection I love these papers they are gorgeous.  I decided to keep my card clean and simple focusing on the pattern of the weave and the image.

Lisa - I have used fabulous papers from Festive Hollybobs Full Download Collection to weave a square, which with a paper ribbon, bow and some foliage cut with Cherry Blossom Branch Die has turned into a Christmas Present. The sentiment on the little tag is also from the collection.

Elena - For my card I have used BAKED WITH LOVE papers. I love these cards, so I decided to bring out their beauty with a simple card.

Carol - If you take a couple of patterned papers from Winnie Winterland and weave them together to put behind a house shaped cut out. Then add a couple of characters from Baked with Love, add some more decorations and a tag and here is what you get:

Karon - I have used the wonderful Winnie Winterland collection for my card today.  I weaved some of the papers and these were placed behind the Stocking window.  Also used the wonderful Super Sprigs Die and the Flowers 2 Die for the flower on the top of the stocking.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you so we hope you have some fun with our theme, although of course you don't HAVE to weave because

Now lets see what fabulous inspiration the Design team have for you - they had to use something beginning with F...

Alysha -   This week I have created a lovely simple card using the Lavender Tea CD, come and jion us I look forward to seeing your creations, hugs Aly xx

Helen - Anyone for chocolate? Of course, its always time for chocolate in my book and Winnie seems to agree with me, she's just about to tuck in to a great big bar.  I've chosen to use Mmmmm Chocolate from the Sugar Sprinkles collection.  I coloured her with Copics and used some embellies from the collection including the chocolate bar which I also put into My Craft Artist to mak a chocolatey backing paper.

Lisa - I'm getting ahead with my Chrimbo cards for this year and I have used the Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun Download Collection. I faded 2 of the mistletoe digis to pale grey, placed them in opposite corners and merged with the the sentiment, before printing onto white linen card. This has been mat and layered with Kraft card and papers also from the download. Some twine, pearls and a little pine cone to decorate.

Carol - Love love love the gorgeous floral papers from the Winnie Wonderland Paper Heaven 6 download. Here I've teamed them with one of my favourite Polkadoodles fairies - Serenity Princess. Adding a background layer created using an around the page punch, a triple bow and a white rose. So quick and easy!

Pauline - I have used a super image from the the Work and Play 12 collection called 'Fast Food' along with some of the matching papers and a sentiment - I just love the sentiment!  I printed him three times so that I could add some decoupage layers and also printed the fries and drink from the embellies section.

Ruth: I've coloured the cute Footballer digi with Promarkers and then made a background of football pitches with some green card.  The digis are so versatile and can be enlarged without image quality loss!

Karon - I have a gift that I made for my daughter Shannon, who is leaving this weekend for college. I loved using the Lemonade Fizz Collection to make this 12" by 12" canvas.  Everything is off the collection, the quote I found on the internet. I added some dimension to the flowers and the butterfly, by adding layers and some beads...

Wow - fabulous and inspiring inspiration by the team this week.

Now let's see the inspiration for the challenge...

Ruth:  I've got for a cute mix of Winnie Fruit Punch and  Winnie Sugar Sprinkles.  The main image is from the Fruit Punch cd and the sentiment tile and card shape are from .  The best bit is that the cd's are quite interchangeable and complement each other!  Oh and if you don't want a cd, you can buy as a full download!

Scatty Jan - For my project this week I decided on a fun tag. I used the tag and elements from Little Kingdom. I dusted round the edge with distress ink , then arranged all the little elements - added some bakers twine and my tag was good to go

Tracy - Using Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.. I used Digi image, paper, embellies and sentiment all from this pretty collection. Ribbon and heart die used.

Michelle - This week I have used a digi image from the wonderful Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.  I have used digi papers and design sheet from this collection.  The image has been coloured with Copics.

Anjie - I've used the fabulous new Winnie In Wonderland collection. I've used my Graph'It Markers to colour in Winnie as the Red Queen, Iracebeth. I've used two papers and lots of embellies that I have fussy cut and stuck down with 3D foam to give the card lots of dimension. I finished it off by making a bow using some silky crush ribbom and a glittered heart gem. More details and photos on my blog.

Anita - here this week I had a play at doing my own background scene using the stunning collection  Winnie in Wonderland she is also available by herself as Winnie in Wonderland and horse. Once again I used the backing paper from the Lavender Tea download collection  i also added my twine , These are wonderful collections that work well together.

Bev here with a CAS design for you, using the Magic Garden collection. I printed on the backing sheet and then printed extra flowers and leaves out to layer up, wrapping a contrasting ribbon around before attaching to my card blank. The greeting is on the inside of my card to allow maximum impact of the image.

Katrina - I've been dying to use this gorgeous 'Antique Rose Print Burlap' ribbon that I bought from the Ribbons & Trims section of the store back in January (it's not available at the moment but there are heaps of other gorgeous things in there). I've teamed it up with a flower I built using the Lemonade Fizz stamp soup collection and coloured in the background with Brusho crystals.

Claire C I've used some of the gorgeous stamps from Daisydays Stamp ME Collection to create this quick and easy card. I stamped the flowers using post it masks and then added the little background stamps. I cut around the daisies to create a shaped card and added some colour with Graph'It Markers

Lovely creations to inspire you all with our Add Ribbon or Twine challenge! 

Our winners of our Use a die cut challenge and our Feather in my Cap winners for using PD images (more details on this up top in the tabs section), will be announced next Friday.

Have a great weekend everyone.
