Check them all out here!

oOo--oOo--oOo

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I'm really liking the Belle Papillon collection so I'm using it again for my card for this week!  I save all my offcuts of card when making square card blanks and I've used one here as my base.  All I've added is some ink, waxed twine, half pearls and a heart pearl slider I found in my stash.

Jacki - Hi everyone for my card today I have made a digital designed card using some of the papers and image from the new ubber sweet Winnie Special Moments download then printed it off to make a quick and easy card.

Tina - I have created for you a Slider Card and used different digital design papers. You can find them in the big Set "Winnie Sugar Sprinkles". As you see, you can pull out the paper strip and the sweet unicorn runs to the right side. Then you can see a hidden text. This sweet unicorn is now available in the shop. "Be a Fluffy Unicorn". There you will also find all his friends, including themed sentiments.

Anjie - I've used papers and embellies form one of my fave collections, Picknix 1. I've used the Home Grown bundle for this, or you can buy the whole collection here, which of course is better value as you get 3 kits for less than the price of 2.

Michelle - For my project today I have used the Sticks and Bones collection I have used the papers, embellishments, animals and Digi image from this collection to make this box card.

Bev here and I used the content from Horace & Boo to decorate both the inside & outside of my make this week. Sometimes it's nice to use pre-coloured images and play around within your graphics programme.

Claire C - I've made a card using the beautiful Eden collection this week. I coloured the image (Eden Butterflies) with markers and layered her up over 3 of the lovely papers in the collection and added some of the little butterflies and a sentiment too.

Such fabulous creations, really lovely and inspiring!

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

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

The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Anything but a Square Card

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

Tina - This time I made an Explosion Box and used the "Stick & Bones - Big Bundle".

Each area is 4 x 4 inch and the inhabitants I have colored with Polychromos. Much more photos and details you find on my Blog.

Scatty Jan - For my project this week I have made a saloon milk carton - I cut this on my portrait and was a lot of fun decorating up - I used the lovely images from Work & Play 3, that I coloured up using Graph'It Markers, You can also purchase the images seperately Cowboy as a digi image, also as a  clear stamp, and Cowgirl as a digi stamp - Lots more photo's on my blog.

Bev here with a cute 3D Birdhouse using Twiggy & Toots. I initially chose 7 printed 3 separate backing papers onto 300gsm card then turned them over and printed the templates onto the rear then simply cut them out and constructed the project and just for a little decoration I made some roses using the Flowers 1 Die set and added them to the roof.

Lou - I have used one of the design sheets from Winnie in Wonderland collection to create a circle rocker/stepper card. The only other embellishment added is a small piece of black lace ...

Michelle  - I have made a Twist and Pop Card and I have used Winnie In Wonderland Big Kahuna Bundle to make it. This was a lot of fun to make you can find the Video I used to make it on my blog.

Anjie - I have used left over bits of design sheet 1 from the ever so cute Sticks and Bone collection. I used the other bits for a make a few weeks ago. This is why it's always worth while saving the bits that are left over. I've placed the image and all the embellies on to 3D foam to make them pop. I've shaped and layered the flowers and added to the edge of the card.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

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.

I have a second card to share with you this week - I have used the new release Winnie in Wonderland.  I love this rabbit!  Everything you see is from this collection and I have added layers to add dimension to the card.

Alysha - Well I will be kicking off my first challenge as a newbie DT with Polkadoodles with this lovely masculine card, I just love his cheeky demeanor and I have to say his little doggie is pretty darn cute too!  This card was created using the Pretty Tuff CD from Polkadoodles.  I hope you like my DT card for this challenge and will come on over to Polkadoodles Challenge Blog  and join in the fun with us, hugs Aly xx

Scatty Jan - Something a little different for me this week , Stamping!! After all these years of saying I couldn't stamp - I followed all the Underlay sheets on Summertime . I now adore stamping so much!

I used stamps from both the new collections for my little scene Summertime and Daisydays I used the stamps to make the fishing rod, fish , fish hook, bubbles and trees and also the sentiment. Trees and grass were coloured in watercolours, The sky was done in pastels and the water using Graph'It Markers along with mix it fluid and a dish cloth .

My second card this week I used the lovely beach hut digi from Summertime and coloured using Graph'It Markers - for the sky and sand I used pastels. The shell and the boat were made using a couple of leaf stamps from the stamps from Daisydays.

Carol - for my inspiration this week I have used some of the lovely pre-coloured elements from the Sticks and Bones collection to make a quick birthday card.
