Now lets take a look at the fabulous creations this week...

Nikky: I discovered one of my favourite stamp sets hiding in a corner of my desk this week so I've gone stamp cray cray. You can get this, called 'Can I live here please" from the store HERE. I coloured this using watercolour paints.

Katrina - I'm really enjoying my stint as guest designer, thank you so much for having me.  I've decoupaged the beautiful 'Rosie Washing Day' from the Cherryblossom Lane CD and made a greeting using two stamps from the Sensational Sentiments Stamp Sheet.  The card is covered with a paper from the Pretty Sweet CD.



Ruth:  I've decided to go for a very spring like theme (and a few pastels thrown in!)  Papers have been printed on both sides from Lily Bug Love and I've made little windmills - the larger ones are 3 layers - from some templates I've had for years.  All perfect to pop onto a lolly stick and to be used in a plant pot!

Bev here, I've not had much spare time this week so I opted for one of the design sheets from the devine Winnie Sugar Sprinkles  collection ~ tell a lie I actually printed the same sheet out twice, so I could give the card a little more dimension. I glittered the topper and backing sheet to give it some sparkle although I'm not sure my photography skills do it justice.


Anita- For the challenge this time I thought I would go right back to basic with my make using a pre coloured Topper image from Cherryblossom lane cd collection , Just the basics scissors and glue and some crafty bits and pieces.



Claire C I've made a very quick card using one of the design sheets from the fabulous Winnie Sugar Sprinkles  collection, they are perfect when time is against you! 


Karon -  With Easter just around the corner, I have used the bunny design sheet too this week :-) Great minds think a like LOL!  Love this little bunny girl.  You can either buy the Design Sheet, I have used most of the elements from or you can by the whole fabulous collection Winnie Sugar Sprinkles.
What fantastic makes from the team!

Can't wait to see what you come up with, we love visiting your blogs to take a look  at your wonderful creations. Remember only 2 entries per person please.

Now, let's take a look at what the Design Team have for you...

Katrina - I'm thrilled to be doing my third challenge at Polkadoodles and I love this sort of theme.  I found some cat charms in my stash so decided to make a card with the cute little kitty on the Sticks and Bones CD. The background papers are also from the CD but I've made the tiger skin look fuzzy using CraftArtist.

Ruth:  I've managed to complete the top horizontal line and also the central vertical line!  All elements are from the Sticks and Bones collection plus I've added chocolate brown card from my stash, a cute dino charm, twine and some dewdrops to finish off.


Caz - For my Tic Tac Toe, I chose to go with Wings/Tag/Flowers..Made a Tag box using the gorgoeus image Serenity-fairy-kisses...Also available in the Serenity-fairy-wishes-download-bundle. Papers used on box and for tags are from Baby-boom-download-bundle. Large flower is a cutting file Flowers-1-cutting-file. Rest are from my stash.


Anjie - I chose to use the bottom line, wings, tag and flower. Everything I have used on my make is from the Sticks and Stones collection. I coloured the image with my pens and fussy cut around it. I printed out lots of embellies, word art and tags and fussy cut them too. I stuck them all onto strips of acetate to make them look like they are floating in mid air. More photos and how to make the box are on my blog.

Anita - I chose to use the bottom line, Wings, Tag and flower. I usual like to mix all nikky's collection to show how they compliment each other, but this week I have used one which is the Octavia Moonfly collection so much to choose you be spoilt for choice. Octavia  Moonfly Rose Garden is also available as a digi download Here.


Mia - I choose the middle line, Animals, Nature and Tag. I used the Sticks & Bones collection to create my card. I used my Brother Scan 'n' Cut to fussy cut around all the elements and to create my mats and layers. For more information please check out my blog.


Bev here with my tic, tac, toe inspiration I opted for the horizontal middle row, Polkadots, Nature & Lace. I used Work & Play 10, Countrylife for my creation, this week. I cheated and used a pre coloured image) but I've mixed it up a bit by having the picure on the inside and greeting on the outside!



Claire C I love this challenge theme, such fun!!! I went for a full house making this quick card using lots of elements from the gorgeous new collection Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime  Collection which you can find here as a CD or if you prefer you can get it as a download here. I'd got it all finished and realised I'd forgot to add a tag, I'll have to try a bit harder next time

Let's see what the Design Team have for your inspiration this week...

Ria - For my Tic Tac Toe card I used this cute Lily Bug Love that I coloured with warm grey alcohol markers only. (CHECK WINGS).  I used the black checkered paper from the Lily bug Love Collection and the Hi embellishment (CHECK Sentiment) that I fuzzy cut. and to check off Nature I used a cutting die with butterflies. no idea which brand it is as I have had it for ages and I need a good Die organizing system hahahahhaha as now I have NONE :)


 Jenny - Tic Tac Toe is the challenge and I have used the new Sticks and Bones collection for my card. I have made the entire card from bits left over from other projects, the topper is from a design sheet and backing papers always have bits left that usually get wasted because you put them to one side and they end up getting creased. My line of choice is sentiment, lace and flower, I love the circular sentiments and now I have a die which is the right size it makes using them a breeze.


Karon - I used the third column for my Tic Tac Toe card, Sentiment, Lace and Flower.  Returning to an older collection is always good fun, you never know what you might find. So, everything on my card is from the All Sewn Up collection, you can get it as a small bundle on it's own or you can buy the full bundle Studio 12 Picknix 1 - which this collection is part of.  All the edges of all the layers were inked and some were place on foam tape to add some dimension.


Jackie - I have chosen to use wings, polka dots and charms in my take of the tic-tac-toe challenge. The Serenity Dancing digi I have used is available on it's own or in the  Serenity collection. The gorgeous range of papers I have used are also in the collection.  Details on my blog for colouring.


Scatty Jan - For this weeks make I used the wonderful Lily Bug Love  collection and for my Tic-Tac- Toe, I used Wings, Nature and Sentiment. I love all the pretty papers, such a beautiful girly collection that would fit many occasions. I made a cute little box cut on  my portrait, which holds a few chocolates ...yummmy!! How cute are those bugs!!


Aunty Sue - Well for my Tic Tac Toe I have completed all the boxes except the animal. I have made a bag using our New Lily Bug Love Collection. Everything except the lace and charms are available in the collection Here 


Melanie Smith - here using the beautiful Serenity Princess digital stamp. For my Tic Tac Toe I have used "Wings, Nature, and a Sentiment"

Fabulous inspiration.  Now it's over to you!  Lucky Green challenge winner and top 3 will be announced next Friday.
