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.

 Jacki:For my card I have used design sheet 12 from the new Helga download I put the card together digitally in my MCS programme to create this really simple but pretty Retirement card using the different elements on the design sheet.

Ruth:  The Design sheets on each CD are such good value and you get sooooo much to work with! The hardest bit is trying to decide which elements to use!  I've gone for Work and Play 12 - Geek Scientist - you can buy the sheet on its own or if you want more, buy the download as you get each character with its own design sheet.  All I've added is some card candi, glitter glue and glossy accents!

Alysha ~ Hi there! This week as always is anything goes over at Polkadoodles Challenge Blog but DT have used a Design Sheet. I have used HELGA Polkadoodles new release for January, hope you love her as much as I do, hugs Aly xx

Helen - What better to combat those winter blues than a little bit of retail therapy. I've used the Dolly Daydream Girl Talk Download Collection which you can find right here, the card shape is a template from the collection and I've coloured up Dolly Daydream and attached her to the front of the card.

Lisa - I've used a designed sheet from the Winston Download Collection to create a masculine birthday card.

Karon - For my card this week I have used Design Sheet #11 from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles collection.  You can also get just this Design Sheet #11 on its very own if you need a quick card to make.  All I have added is an embossed backing paper, everything else is from the Design Sheet.

Pauline - For my card I have used a design sheet from the Rose Budd Collection, the papers and sentiment are also from the collection.  I have inked the edges of everything and just added some ribbon and pearls.

Carol - I used a design sheet from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection electronic print/cut/trace download. I also used a backing paper from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection

creativEle  - I used a design sheet from the WINNIE FRUIT PUNCH BIG BUNDLE.  I created a three-dimensional paper imagining the front & back of a shoes store SHOPAHOLIC.

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team...

Tina: Today I designed for you a door hanger. Everyone likes to be undisturbed in the bathroom ...

Especially when one is looking for his teeth. I used the Image: "Where´s my Teeth?" 

The background paper comes from the super cute, new set: "Belle Papillon Big Kahuna". 

Included in this is not only the beautiful paper, but also embellishments, butterflies, rosettes, borders, flowers, sentiments and so much more. Just beautiful!

The door hanger is made of kraft paper, the design paper is printed on linen paper and around the hole above I added the flowers. The beautiful lady was colored with Polychromos.

I hope she could find her teeth now....

Tracy - Today I have used something new to me.... I bought this neat little bundle set Picknix 1 In the garden. It has a great bunting, butterflies, houses and a cool little fence. Loved playing and cutting out this collection. Great card for someone who has just moved house!

Bev here and I'm thinking New Beginnings. I coloured up Winter Time from Octavia Frosted Winter  and coloured her up with my pencils.

Anjie - So I used some of the fab new products that I have from Polkadoodles. For starters I used the paper pad and foliage dies from the Belle Papillon collection. I distressed the edges of the paper and then added some copper gilding polish. I also added some of the polish to all the die cuts. I stamped the sentiment and cut it out using the middle die in the Elegant Nesting set of 3 dies. I finally added some flowers from my stash.

Michelle - I have used Rose Budd Bundle 1 for this creation I have not used this collection before but I love it so I thought I would try one of the cottages in the bundle everything on my cottage comes in the Rose Budd Bundle 1 

Scatty Jan - For this weeks project I have used some lush, lush, lush new products from Polkadoodles to make a mini dress album - take a look at all the wonderful goodies here

Claire C -  I love all Nikky's gorgeous collections but I nearly always colour an image for my cards so my something new is using elements from the fabulous new collection Belle Papillon to make this card. It was so quick and easy as I resized one of the pretty vintage tags, cut out some bunting and embellies and added a little bling, ribbon and a paper rose

Gail - For this weeks challenge, I've used the totally scrummy, delicious paper craft kit Belle Papillon, it has everything in it stamps, paper pad and co-ordinating dies and all for a great price. Just love, love this new release from Polkadoodles.

Lou: I have used the wonderful new stamps, dies and matching papers from the Belle Papillion and Bella Fleur collections to create a birthday card and notebook for a work colleagues up and coming birthday. Lots of embossing and inking fun ...

Such fabulous creations.

Alysha - Its a BLUE Christmas for our DT theme this week and I have used one of my faves Twiggy and Toots CD to create this lovely festive card. Looking forward to seeing your entries. Hugs Aly xx

Helen - For my Blue Christmas I've gone monochromatic and used the fabby Candy Cane Elf from the Winnie Winterland collection you can find it right here  and some of those awesome new dies.

Jacki For my blue Christmas I have used papers from Winnie in Winterland & Baked with Love and the super cute snowman is a digi also from the Winnie collection which I have coloured using prisma and derwent colour soft pencils. 

Lisa - I've gone clean and simple for my card today. I have layered the Frosty Penguins image and sentiment directly over a backing paper from the Frosted Winter Octavia Digital Download and printed onto my alcohol marker card. I have coloured the image and then added shading around the image for a little depth. 

Pauline - I've used a fun image from Winnie in Winterland to create my blue Christmas card - don't be shocked, I've actually coloured my image for a change!  The papers are also from the Winnie in Winterland collection.

Carol - For my blue Christmas card this week, I've used papers, embellies and a sentiment from the Winnie Winterland collection. I created the snowflake paper layer with the embellies. I wanted to keep to a clean and simple card this week. To finish it off I added a button and bow from the Ephemera in the Rose budd collection, which I printed and cut out.  

xxxxx

Elena - I used the sweet Winnie to make a special calendar for the new year.  It's name of this digi is Bearing Gifts and you can get it  HERE .

The choice is yours.....

You do not need to use Polkadoodles products to enter our challenges. Our rules are over there in the side bar ---> You have until Noon, GMT, Friday 9th September to enter this challenge.

The winner of this challenge will receive a $10 gift voucher to the Polkadoodles download store.


Now let's see the inspiration for the challenge...

Scatty Jan hmmmm something beginning F had to be flowers for me. My friend is celebrating her 70th birthday so I wanted to make something a little special. I chose the lovely lantern template from The Lavender Tea collection. It looks quite red in the photo's but its a really deep pink in real life.  I wanted to match the flowers in so I decorated using Lemonade Fizz collection, I think they work perfectly together. All that was added to finish were some pearls, a few fern dies and a battery operated candle.....Lots more photos and info on my blog xx

Tracy - Well for this challenge I decided to do a birthday card for my nephew so I picked a precoloured image from Winston Bear Collection holding a cake..."Food". Again lots of layering as I find fussy cutting a joy and I inked the edges to make images "pop" out

Katrina - Well, they're so pretty (and apparently all the rage at the moment), so it had to be F for Flamingo. The digi stamp is from the Winnie in Wonderland CD and I've coloured it in with pink and purple sparkle pens. The gorgeous backing paper is from the same CD and for the greeting I used one of the stamps from the Daisydays set.

Anita - Hi everyone so for my F'S I used Flowers, Frame, Fancy, Frugal i used a selection of papers from Rose Budd collection which has oodles of papers on, my sentiment qoute from the work and play 10 collection - country life i had fun this week.

Claire C What a fun challenge! My 'F' is frosty and I've used lots of bits and bobs from the gorgeous ' Octavia Frosted Winter' collection which you can find here as a CD or here as a download. I always make my 0wn jar of 'frost' for wintery cards by mixing up different grades of glitter, mica flakes and anything else in my craft stash that looks a bit frosty.

Michelle Wow all as I could think of for something beginning with F was yummy food lol. So I used The VIP XXL Starfish and Sandcastle Collection because it had so many yummy foods to use. I have made a bendy Card and I have only used things from the collection to decorate it hope you all like it.

Bev here with a bright and vibrant card using one sheet (yes you heard right) of the flower stacks from one of the older collections, Back to Nature. the sentiment used is from Magic Garden....

Anjie - Now I really pushed the boat out with this one as on my card I have a Flamingo, some Feathers, some Flowers and some Foliage! Do you think that's enough F's? To make this card I have used the lush Tropical Paradise Flamingo stamp set. The Flamingo you can get as a digi download on it's own HERE. I needed to add some Foliage in there so decided to use the leaf from the Lemonade Fizz stamp set. Lots more info on my blog.

Lovely creations to inspire you all with our Anything Goes or Something beginning with F challenge! 

Our winners of our Anything Goes challenge 32/33 and our Feather in my Cap winners for using PD images (more details on this up top in the tabs section), will be announced next Friday.

Alysha This week I have 2 projects to show you using twine and ribbon. The first is a simple gift box I have added a stamped daisy on top from the Daisy Days Stamp Collection and some pretty papers.

The second is a card using the same set of stamps I have stamps daisies in a row and the background has been created using brusho's

  

Tammi Lynn -  Hello everyone.  So happy to be here, this is my first creation as part of the Polkadoodles Design team,  I have used Winnie Fruit Punch digi and paper, and pink paper from stash,  The image is colored with Copics. Used some dies, twine and dimensional foam squares to finish it off.

Helen - Here's our Winnie enjoying a little glass of something scrummy.  Sounds good to me on those long hot summer nights!! She's from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection  which you can find on CD or as a download in the store. I have coloured her with Copics and used papers from the collection.

Karon - Ribbon or twine - I used ribbon :-)  I couldn't resist using the delightful Rose Budd Collection for my card this week.  I love all the elegance that comes with this collection.  The fabulous papers and gorgeous embellishments - I am never at a loss with this beautiful collection.

Shelagh - This week I have used the wonderful Winnie Fruit Punch for my creation, character, embellies, sentiment and word art. The paper is from the Winston collection.  A little bit of twine coloured with alcohol markers, some glitter and distress inks to finish off.

Carol - Here is my inspiration for the week using background paper and the gorgeous Winnie Wonderland Cheshire Cat from the Winnie in Wonderland collection. I coloured my image with copics. I added some twine around an oval of card and used it as a layer and then added some tea time trinkets from my stash, all tied together with more twine, hanging from a triple bow. 

Pauline - I'm so excited to have been invited to join the Polkadoodles Design team, thank you so much to Nikky and the team for asking me. For my first project I have used a Design Sheet and Papers from the Winston Delux Full Collection to create a masculine themed card. I printed the design sheet a couple of times so that I could add some extra layers of decoupage. I fussy cut the sentiment, sign and buttons and then added 3D Crystal Laquer to the buttons.

Lisa For my 'Add Ribbon or Twine' project I have used elements from the Winston Deluxe Full Collection. I printed the flowers, sentiment and papers onto white linen card and mat and layered with grey and lilac card. I wrapped the top panel with twine and lace. The cute Winston Bear Heartfelt has been coloured with alcohol markers and added to the card with fancy die cut oval. I've added a pearl heart and a ribbon bow and curled the petals and added some buttons for added dimension.

Fabulous inspiration by the Design Team.
