Our random winner will receive a $10/£7.50 voucher for the Polkadoodles Digi Store.

You do not need to use Polkadoodles products to enter our challenges.

Have you seen all our wonderful new releases in store this week? We have so many new rubber and clear stamps, paper packs, digis, digi scrap kits all in store and released over the past couple of weeks so make sure you check them all out!

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

The DT's twist on the challenge theme is still Christmas after all we do need to get those Christmas creations made!....It's only 152 days or 21 Weeks left - Mwahahahaha :-) and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it, it's entirely your choice...

Tina - This time I have decorated for you a sled, which is drawn by 4 sweet reindeer. Colored with Polycolor Pens from Lyra. On the sled greet 2 owls for Christmas and bring beside a Christmas tree also many gifts with. You'll find the tree and the gifts out from Octavia - Frosted Winter. The owls and reindeer come from the set Twiggy & Toots. See my blog for more photos :-)

 

Angie J - So I had some Christmassy fun with a Winnie Winterland Collection Design Sheet.

I used Design Sheet 7 and repurposed a lolly jar and a notebook. It's hard to tell on the notebook, but the flowers have been shaped a bit for a slight 3D effect so they don't sit flat on the cover.

Michelle I have used Winnie Winter Land Collection I have made another tag using a digi image and coloured with copics I also used the Versatile  Door / Window / Flap  Die to make the door and it opens to see a snow princess.

Bev here and I couldn't resist a play with Robin Cuddles this fortnight, aren't they adorable? I had a go at water colouring. I think I need a bit more practice but it certainly gives a different look. The papers and sentiment are from Festive Christmas and the additional holly embellishment is a stamp on the Santa Claus set.

Scatty Jan for my project this week I made another pocket letter, I do love these there so much fun putting together, I mainly used Winnie Winter Land Collection adding in a few stamps from regal peacock set , I do love how everything will work together.

Anjie -  To make this I've used the fabulous Baked With Love Collection, again! You can also get this in download format should you want it right now. Lots more details on my blog.

Claire C - I've been playing with the gorgeous Regal Peacock stamps to make my Christmas project, those feathers make fantastic Christmas trees with a few glittery baubles!

Lou: Inspired by all the snowflakes created using the Regal Peacock stamp soup set, I had to have a go myself. I've teamed up my projects with Elegant Nest and Ribbon Gift die sets.More details on each card can be found on my blog.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you as always!

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 28/29 will be announced next Friday.

Now let's see what wonderful inspiration the Design Team have for you this week.   The DT's twist on the challenge theme is........CHRISTMAS and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

We would like to welcome another new member to the Polkadoodles Design Team.  Say hello to Norma, she has a wonderful blog and you must pop along and take a look.She has jumped straight in this week, so check out her creation below, along with the rest of the fabulous Design Team :-)

Norma.- For my first project as a DT in Polkadoodles,  I decided to make a winter card that hides a gift card, I  used  MissPretty that was released  in June and some of the trees for the kit  Winnie Winterland  I colored it with my copic markers. I think that it can be super cute for a little girl.

Ruth:  I've used one of the soon to be released Christmas stamps!  I've combined Frosty The Snowman with the Christmas Gifts stamp.  All coloured with Promarkers and added to an acetate card.  Such cute stamps and perfect for kids!

Helen - Christmas will soon be here so I'm starting on the gift bags for those pressies and you can't beat this little Owl Gift Bag. It's a template from the Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun Collection, bet you didn't know that was there and soooo easy to make, just print , cut and stick!! You can find it right here.

Karon - I have used the fabulous new Polkadoodles Stamp sets on my card today.  The Christmas Poinsettia/Holy set and the Christmas Santa Claus set.  I am not one for colouring, so I stamped the Poinsettia out several times on green then red papers (my papers are from the wonderful Festive Christmas collection), then I fussy cut the poinsettia and layered it up with some foam tape.  Then stamped the sentiment onto the blue paper - perfect.

Carol - Today I have made a Christmas card with papers from the  Festive Christmas collection and topped it with Hollybobs Santa from the Work and Play 5 - Festive Hollybobs collection.  To make the cutting out easier, I combined Hollybobs Santa and the background paper he is on before I printed it. Then I used some nesting dies to cut each layer before assembling the card - so it was much easier than fussy cutting Hollybobs Santa, though I did fussy cut the flower.

Lisa - I have made a card today using papers and embellishments from the Festive Christmas Download.

Craftica - Today I used Winnie Winterland - Design Sheet 13  to create little messages to add to my daughter's classmates little presents for the last day in school, I'm working on everything ahead of time as she usually gets a lot of brilliant ideas the night before going on Holiday.

Shylaa - I have fallen in love with Ula's Life. I have created a Christmas card with Ula life journal stamp. Adhered the pattern paper to the card base. Added the postage die cut panel above it with foam tape. Tied a twine around it. Decorated the diecut panel with 3d stickles and sequins.The Ula image is water coloured with staedtler colour pencils and did a fussy cut and adhered to the diecut panel.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 26/27

The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Traditional Christmas

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

Please say a big hello to the newest member of our Design Team Tina Focking
If you get a moment why not go and check out her fabulous blog. Tina has created this fabulous make for you this week, check it all out below :-)

Tina - Today I give my debut in this fabulous design team.  I created a Christmas doily with Winnie Winterland - Yummy Gingerbread.  I´ve colored them with polychromos. The trees and the blue background paper come from the Winnie Winterland - Big Kahuna Bundle. I cut the rosette with the Cameo Plotter from white glitter paper. It looks as beautiful as shining snow. The edges I have easily distresst and then all layers with hot glue put together. Now the Doily can be hung on the wall or on a door. Please feel free to visit my Blog for more Photos.

And here's the rest of the amazing Design team makes this week :-)

Anjie - I have used the Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun Christmas collection which is just adorable. Just how cute is this little owl santa! Everything you see on the card is from the collection. I've slightly distressed the edges of the papers and image and added some faux stitching with a white pen. Everything is raised using 3D foam. More photos on my blog.

Michelle - I have made a Christmas Bauble using Winnie's Winterland Collection  This was fun to make I just resized all my images in word to the size I needed and then put it all together and used

some fake snow.

Tracy - Today I have used my favourite Christmas Collection - Festive Christmas. I wanted to add the Robin and use of flowers to surround the mailbox which is the focus. Once again lots of fussy cutting and adding distress ink to the edges to give it a more aged tradition look.

Lou - I have used the O Christmas Tree stamp set to create my huge poinsettia which I have coloured with distress inks. The petals were stamped and embossed in white first. backing paper is from the matching Festive Christmas CD.

Gail - I've used the beautiful Festive Christmas collection along with the some of the fab new dies, Flowers 1, Bubbleicious and Cherry Blossom Branch die sets.

Scatty Jan - This week am sharing a stocking that I made and decorated using Festive Christmas collection.

Bev here, with my take on a traditional Christmas to me that means good old green & red. I opted for the very useful Festive Christmas collection and cut out a few pre-coloured images & papers. I just added some bakers twine, a bell and a sentiment from my crafty stash.

Ruth - I've gone for a golden oldie this week - all the way back to Paper Boutique 2 - Creative Christmas.  Simply printed all the elements, cut them out and layered up with foam pads.  Great for something to do whilst watching Christmas films!

Claire C - I've made a quick card using the fabulous design sheets from Winnie Winterland, just adding ribbon, lace a charm and of course some glitter! 

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 48/49 will be announced next Friday.

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks      

will be announced at the end of this post....

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team.

Ruth:  I've used the wonderfully Christmas (especially in red!) Bubbleicious Frame as my background and starting point then made a wreath of poinsettias with  the very versatile Flowers 2 dies - I pinched the edges.  Papers are printed from Winnie Winter Wonderland (print on both sides so you don't get any white showing) plus added some seed beads to the centres.  And to finish off, the little tiny sentiment tags have been cut with the Versatile Door / Window / Flap die.

Helen - Feeling a lot Christmassy at the moment so I've taken the Festive Hollybobs collection that you can find right here in the store and merged 4 images to make a Christmas Scene and used some papers from the collection too.  I've add some corners and the tree branch from the fab new dies that cut like a dream you find them here too.

Pauline - I've used the two adorable gingerbread people from the Festive Christmas CD, the sentiment and papers are from the CD as well.  I also used the fabulous new Bubbleicious Frame Die and lots of Distress Ink to create a rustic feel.

Alysha ~ Ooooooh I'm feeling all Christmassy like my team mates too. Here I have made a lovely Christmas card using Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun CD. Looking forward to seeing your creations this week. hugs Aly xx

Lisa - For my make today I've used the fabulous Festive Christmas Download Collection and I just love the rich traditional colours in this collection. I have layered the leaf image multiple times over red and green papers from the collection, printed, fussy cut and shaped into a Poinsettia, with a lovely bit of bling for the centre. I have kept the rest of the card fairly simple, using a sentiment printed onto white card and the inside of Bubbleicious Frames Die as a template to cut it out, layered onto the Bubbleicious Frames Die cut from Kraft card and a stripey paper from the collection. 

Karon - I have a play with one of the wonderful pre-coloured toppers from the Festive Christmas Collection and used the Super Sprigs Die to add some leaves to the white poinsettia.  I added some layers by cutting out an extra reindeer and birdhouse.  

Jacki - For my card I decided to merge 2 of adorable images from the Twiggy and Toots collection the papers are from the Festive Christmas collection I distressed them added diluted paint splats and frantage then added a large christmassy bow.

Carol - For my inspiration I've used the Winnie Winterland collection and used papers, a tag, some holly foilage and the very cute Candy Cane Elf to decorate a step card. 

Elena - For my ispiration I've used full elements of Winnie Winterland Collection.  Papers, elements and stamp painted with distressink. Front card more elements and paper base are red, while the back of the card is a collage of objects mounted on several levels with photoshop and green to fit ours theme.

Such fabulous creations from the team!
