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 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.

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I've used the beautiful Bubbleicious Die - the initial die cut is from a paper from Belle Papillon Collection and then inlaid it with another die cut, adding half pearls to the 'bubbles'.  The oval die was used to add to the centre.  Butterfly is also from the Belle Papillon Collection.

Jacki - For my card I have used the ubber cute new release Helga and I have a limited number of PD dies (2) which I had at the launch so I had an idea of what to do. Then having Helga made that job a little easier. I used one of the papers from the Helga collection and added a coloured version (flower girl) I added a sentiment which is on the collection and then went to work on my tree.

Helen - I've got a bit bonkers with the die cuts for my inspiration project, using some older favourites and the new toadstool border also around three of the edges, just thought they made great flourishes and prettiness. I've used two of the papers from the new Bella Fleur paper pad, two of the flowers from the Bella Fleur stamp set stamped and white embossed in the Bubbleicious frame and Miss Charlotte from the Rose Budd CD.

Alysha - Hi there and a Happy New Year to all our Polkadoodlers! This week as always its anything goes here at Polkadoodles Challenge Blog but the DT have used a die cut this week.  I have used the gorgeous floral die cut Doublet Die from Polkadoodles, I've also added the stamp on the top and coloured it with Spectrum Noir Markers I've used Winnie Sprinkles Just for You Digi Image also coloured with Spectrum Noir Markers.

Pauline - I have used papers from the Bella Fleur Paper Pad along with the largest of the Elegant Nest Dies and the Flower Flourish Die to create my shabby chick card.  The sentiment stamp is from the Belle Papillon A5 large Clear Stamp Set and I created the flowers using the Daisydays Stamp Set.

Karon - I couldn't resist using the wonderful Belle Papillon Download Bundle for my card this week. I love all the different elements in this beautiful collection.  I also used the wonderful Super Sprigs Die for the leaves behind my flowers. All the papers, flowers, and other elements are from this fabulous collection.

Lisa - I have used papers from the Belle Papillon Paper Pad, Elegant Nest Dies, Birdcage and Bird Doublet Dies and Belle Papillon A5 Clear Stamp Set. Along with some lace, ribbon, and Frantage embossing powder to create a Shabby Chic themed card.

Carol - I have used a pre coloured image from Octavia Frosted Winter collection and a sentiment from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime collection which I printed out and cut out with Ribbon/Gift frame die. I then layered it onto a background paper from Octavia Frosted Winter  and finished my card with a bow.

Elena - I used digi from WINNIE FRUIT PUNCH BIG BUNDLE colored with pastel. With Silhouette Studio, I used a digi file turning it into a cutting files.

Such fabulous creations.

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.

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 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
ANYTHING GOES!
