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

The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Autumn/Winter colours and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Alysha - Hi there Polkadoodlers its another fab challenge.  This week as always its ANYTHING GOES, but the DT had autumn colours for our inspiration, so I couldn't resist using the beautiful Eden Butterflies from the Eden Collection.  Hugs Aly xx 

Helen - We've gone all Autumnal for our new challenge, so Serenity Fairy Kisses sprang to mind from the Serenity Collection. I just love fairies and Serenity is just so devine. For some reason had to give her green hair well she is an Autumn fairy today.

Pauline - I have used one of my favourite collections, the fabulous Winnie in Wonderland, for my card.  I've been fussy cutting again - I have used a gorgeous topper, some fabulous papers and lots of bits and pieces from the Embellies and Ephemera sections.

Lisa - My card today uses the Sticks & Bones Mammoth Dinosaur Download Bundle. I've coloured up one of the cute images, with alcohol markers and layered her up with some of the fabulous papers and embellishments.

Jacki - For my card this week I have used papers fromWork and Play festive hollybobs collection  and the image and sentiment are from Twiggy and Toots download collection I coloured the image with my Pablo pencils, added some glitter snowflakes and jingle bells for a merry chrimbo card.

Karon - I have the wonderful Dollie Daydream Goes East Collection for my card this week.  I love the papers in this collection.  I have faux paper pieced the clothes in the little image, the rest was coloured with Lyra Pencils.  Added some depth by using some foam dots.

Carol -  I have had so much fun with the Festive Christmas Collection, I decided to use it again this week for our Autumn Colours challenge. I just love all the digital elements in these collections and I used them to make a really quick and easy card today.  I arranged the little robin and clock digital soup element on top of a paper from Octavia Frosted Winter collection, added a tag, sentiment and a bow - then printed it all out and layered it onto a backing card - so quick and easy, just what you sometimes need for a Christmas card.

Elena - Hi there Polkadoodlers.  I like to you use the honey in the fall, especially when the cold becomes strong.  Here's my creative inspiration for this theme, "good honey" produced by HONEY PIE.  For part of the project I used printable digital stamps to the collection WINNIE FRUIT PUNCH BIG BUNDLE.  Also the PUNCH PAPER HEAVEN 3  and PUNCH PAPER HEAVEN 1.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

Karon - I have made a Z-Fold card this week, using the wonderful Twiggy and Toots Collection.  I just can't resist these adorable owls.  This would make a perfect card for a New Home for a couple.  I used one of the pre-coloured panels from one of the Design sheets from this fabulous collection, along with all the wonderful papers.

  

Scatty Jan - For my project this time I have used the lovely CD Sugar Birdies - The paper, flowers, swirls, sentiment, owl and Butterfly all part of the cd I just added some candy, googly eyes, a couple of candys  and a splash of cotton candy stickles.

Aunty Sue -  For my card I have been playing with one of the amazing CD's Serenity Wishes  as she has the most delightful wings. I have featured Serenity Stardust which you can purchase as a download Here and the fabulous paper is from Paper Pack One which you can buy Here but why buy as individuals when you can get so much more for your money with the fab CD HERE. Sentiment is also from the CD.  Just finished it off with a punch and a die cut. Lots of glitter but not sure it shows.

Lou - I have used the adore angel from Work and Play 5, Festive Hollybobs for my CAS styles card. She has been coloured with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor pencils and lavished with glitter and Nuvo glossy drops.

Penny- I have a confession I got myself a new kit, Nordic Winter and am thrilled with the amount of digital coloured images within.  I have done a 360' turn around and instead of colouring images I am printing them out fully coloured and loving it.   These are one version of my xmas tags for the year, made by layering shapes, sentiments and images from Nordic Winter.

Such wonderful creations and such different styles!
