We would like to welcome Angie, our newest member of the Polkadoodles Design Team... see her wonderful creation below and why not pop along to her blog for a visit....

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


Angie - I am starting with ULA's Life Collection and chose to use ULA Be Strong for my card image along with one of the 2 sentiments from ULA Be A Unicorn. I thought her hair bun looked like a Unicorn horn and with her sassy attitude was the perfect sentiment. It's so easy to mix and match in these collections to give yourself more choices. The gorgeous background paper is ULA Paper (up04). Coloured using Alcohol markers.
TinaThis time I have created a Easel Card for you and used Octavia -Winter Time from the collection Octavia - Frosted Winter. I colored with Polychromos. The background paper and the frame is also from the Octavia collection.
Scatty Jan - For my card this week I am using the wonderful Winnie Special Moments collection, I love all these cute characters and the papers are truly amazing, This is  made up from Digi elements
Anjie - I have used is the fab Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection. I've drawn some faux stitch lines around the edge of the background layer which is mounted onto the card on 3D foam. Then I've simply used 3 banners and the boat, all fussy cut and mounted onto 3D foam, and there you have it.

Bev here, my inspiration began with this fab distressed 'driftwood' effect backing paper which I spotted on the Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles collection and I built my card up from that, I used one of the sentiments and creatied my own decoupage by printing off four of the floral elements and cutting bits away. & layering them up.
Michelle - For my project I have used the Winnie Special Moments Collection I have used one of the black and white images and printed it in craft card stock and then coloured with prisma pencils I have also used one of the word arts from the collection as well.
Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.....

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 24/25

Bev here with a cute 5x5 card created from Horace & Boo Big Kahuna. I used a combination of papers, sentiment and design sheet. Shaping the flowers to give dimension and inking to give an aged look.
Anjie - I've used the Winnie In Winterland collection. Both of the backing papers have dots on them and then I've used the oval frame die from the Bubbleicious die set which also has a pin dot line around the edges. I've mounted the top layer of paper and the topper onto 3D foam. I've layered up some of the beautiful flowers and added some stamens to them.

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.
