Ok, now the business stuff is out of the way let's get onto the challenge and see all the inspiration!

Scatty Jan Oh what fun I had making this bendy card , This is a first for me and I can see myself making plenty more . They lay flat to send too which is a bonus. I cut the card on my portrait - The tree and grass are dies. I used the Pretty Tuff CD - the boy, dog and wall all from the CD - The boy Kevin is also available as a stand alone digi  - just perfect for teenage cards. I used Graph'it Markers to colour xx

Zoe - As soon as I read the challenge theme I knew I wanted to use the Emma Canning - Deer Friend image  which I coloured with a mix of markers. The image is perfect for many an occasion. I created the background using papers and elements from the Animals/nature bundle  which I took into Craftartist to digitally layer and edge. I added some lace and flowers with Candi to the project to finish it off.

Anjie - On my card this week the image is Emma Canning Nuts About You Download which is available on instant download so you can play straight away, one thing us crafters need to do! lol

The papers are from the fabulous new Work & Play Collection 1. The sentiment and bunting are cut from dies from Tattered Lace and the buttons are from my stash.

Debbi - I couldn't resist using the super cute Emma Canning Love Letter digi stamps for this weeks challenge. It's great fun to use the digi in a different way and using it as a shaped card. I decorated 'Ted' using the Dollie Daydream Girls Talk collection, with the striped, colourful flowers and stitching papers. I raised paws using foam pads to give a 3D look.

Yvonne - For this weeks challenge I decided to make an easel card and I wanted to use the ever so cute Mr Mousey which is available on instant download and you can get him here.  I also used Cherry Cupcake and Strawberry Cupcake which are also available on instant download from Polkadoodles.  The papers are from Emma Canning Paper Wraps.  

Jo- All the papers, the cute fox and the embellishments I have used for my card this week are from the Emma Canning animals and nature bundle. It is packed full of elements that all coordinate perfectly. I printed the fox three times so I could decoupage her, and I added little highlights of glaze to her nose, the acorns and leaves.

Sally - So today's challenge is Animals - Ummm..... so I went  to look in my stash of lovely Polkadoodle CD Roms and decided to use the  Sugar Plum Daisy CD Rom. This is one of my favourites!  I say that about all of them!  Well, the images and backgrounds are so cute, I just couldn't resist.  I printed off a background first, then an couple of bumble bees and then a couple of hedgehogs. I then printed off a sweet little girl and and sentiment.  I adhered the background to black cardstock, and made a stepper card.  I then cut out the bees, little girl and hedgehogs. I floated the bees on a piece of acetate, so it looks like they are buzzing around her. On the stepper front I matted the ribbon that was on the background sheet with black and added the sentiment and hedgehogs.

Susan = This week I have used Papers from Dollie Daydreams Girl Talk and an image from Emma Canning Puppy Love I used Graph'it markers to colour the image Card and all embellishments cut out on my cameo.

So there you go - what gorgeous makes this week!!

Ok, now the business stuff is out of the way let's get onto the challenge and see all the inspiration! 

Debbi - Emma Canning's new digi's have certainly made the job of making a card for the male of the species a little easier. I have coloured the Music Time digi stamp and placed it in the centre of a stepper card, which I decorated using the Boys Hoot download collection.

Zoe - Usually Male/boy's cards are challenging, but the new Emma Canning's Digi images make it so easy. I used this fab Web Surfing image, I used papers & embellishments including Washi tape from my stash. I also used a piece of Denim material which is from the fabulous Doobadoo range.

Scatty Jan Ohhhh I so loved playing this week making my challenge project - I used the fantastic Work and Play collection 1 and coloured two of the characters with Graph'it markers - The tool box paper is also from the lovely collection  and cut out on my portrait.

Yvonne - I really enjoyed making this weeks card, I used one of Emma Canning's new digi's Music Time, which you can get here.  My other half constantly has a headphone in one or both of his ears so this image suits him perfectly! I coloured the image with my Graph'It Markers which you can get here.  For the backing papers I got these from the new Work and Play Collection 1. Layered onto nice navy cardstock, with some embellishments from my stash.

Susan For this weeks challenge I have used the new super cute Work and Play Collection 1 ,papers and image and coloured with Amazing my Graph'it Markers,and as usual I have used my Cameo to cut out the Dumbbells and the sentiment.

Anjie - On my card this week the image I have used is  Fireman Jim from the Work & Play collection which is available as an instant download. He can also be found on the new Work & Play Collection 1 CD, which is where I got my backing papers and the sentiment from. I cut the ladder and buckets out on my Came and coloured the ladder with a Silver - Metallic Pan Pastel and the bucket with the Mimosa Graph'It Marker.

The colours of Graph'It Makers I have used for the image are

9103, 9104, 9105, 9106

1140, 1150, 1180

Sally - Hello, todays challenge is "One for the Boys" - so I chose one of Emma Canning's images and coloured him with my Graph'it markers.  I then distressed the edges softy with Pan Pastels and adhered him to a Spellbinders die.  I chose a kraft cardstock card, which I am into in a big way at the moment, matted a piece of stripey paper which I had in my crafty stash onto the card blank. Cut a ribbon, added a stack of books, which is from the Pretty Tuff CD Rom and a sentiment. A quick and easy card for the Boys!

Jo- I had to use Emma Cannings Gamer Boy digi this week as it reminds me of my little brother- never off the xbox/laptop/anything with a screen. I coloured him in quite bold colours for me using a mix of copics and Promarkers and really wanted the image to stand out so tried to keep the rest of the card clean and simple, using some fab papers as a pop of colour.

Don't forget you have until 1st April at noon to enter and we will see you back here next Tuesday for a new challenge. Don't forget you also have time to enter the current Polkadoodles challenge in the sidebar too!

Anjie - On my card this week the image and the papers are from the new Work & Play Collection 1. This is such a cute collection, I'm sure there will be something there for everyone.

I have coloured the image with Graph'It Markers. I have added a few die cuts and lace and flowers from my stash.

Zoe - So this week I've gone all pretty for our challenge, I've used this gorgeous, pretty girl digi from Candy Doodles CD as my main focus. The papers etc are from my stash. I must point out the fence & white leaves too as they are fabulous and you can buy these and other Dutch Doobadoo products from Polkadoodles.

Scatty Jan - I made a little bag this week using  an image, sentiment  and the papers are from the new Work & Play Collection 1 - This is an absolute amazing collection - the images are fab and the papers match so very well - I can promise you this will be one well used collection . I coloured her using Graph'it Markers.

Yvonne - I LOVED the challenge this week! The instructions were 'go girly' and well, I love making girly girl cards, there was no contest the image this week had to be Dollie Daydream - Birthday digistamp, available here or in the Etsy Shop. I love this image and she was perfect to colour, again I used my beloved Graph'It Markers. The backing papers are from Emma Canning and can also be found in the Polkadoodles Digi Downworld section. I just happened to have a paper clay cupcake all ready as an embellishment, the flowers, ribbon and bling are from my stash.

Debbi - I made a new years resolution this year that I would try to be more organised. Which is why I now have a folder planner, that was very boring and was just screaming out to be Polkadoodled! :) I absolutely love this Sleepy Head digi, which is also available from our esty store. Now, I don't know if I am mad or not, but I decided to paper piece the whole image (apart from the skin, which was coloured), including the hair (very fiddly!). The collections I used were a mixture of Boys Hoot, Christmas Joy and Tail Feather. The lovely flower backing was also from the Boys Hoot collection. Fingers crossed I will be more organised now ;)

Jo- I have chosen the gorgeous Heather digi from the Bonbon Belles CD rom this week, she is so girly and perfect for a teenager birthday card. I have also used a pretty pastel paper from the Candy Doodles CD. I wanted to keep the girly-ness understated, so added a touch of lace and tiny gems to embellish the image.

Susan - This week I have used Papers and an image from the latest collection from Polkadoodles

Work and Play collection 1 CD  also available as individual download from Polkadoodles or our new Etsy Shop. I have done a quick and simple tag this week using the Jogging Jane and co-ordinating papers and something very close to my heart ,Race for Life.

Sally - Hello once again.  For this Digi Choosday Challenge its All about the ladies. I chose a digi image from the Candy Doodles CD Rom and then coloured her with my Promarkers. I then cut her out using a Spellbinders die (splendid circles) then chose a backing paper from the CD rom also. I then matted it on black cardstock. I cut a ribbon strip of black cardstock and put across the center of the card and the adhered the topper. I cut out two of the butterflies from the backing paper I had left over and adhered them to the ribbon strip.  What a pretty card!

So there you go - what gorgeous makes this week!!

Let's see what the team are giving you for inspiration....

Scatty Jan I so loved making my project this week I cut the watering can on my portrait  and used the stunning digi stamp Dollie Daydream Bouquet - which I coloured using Graph'it markers - The grass was cut using a die - But everything else (flowers/mushrooms/Butterflys/Ladybird ) were cut by hand and all from the scrummy cd Bonbon Belles xx

Debbi -The smell of spring is in the air, so I have made this pop-up card where the blooms just jump out at you. I used a cut file from Silhouette to make the card. The flowers where made using the very cute Heart to Heart download collection and I added some flat back pearls on the stamens. The front of the card was decorated using a babcking paper from the Boys Hoot collection and the beautiful sentiment was taken from the Cherry Blossom Lane collection and the whole thing is tried together with a length of pink ribbon.

Zoe - My favourite flower is the big daisy like Gerbera. So I was drawn to this flower bundle. I printed out my chosen flower a number of times in different sizes and chose a simple colour combo to colour them. I embossed the daisy background before arranging my flowers, some letters and coordinating card to mat finished it all off.

Yvonne - Hi everyone!! Enjoyed making this weeks project, I decided to make an 8x8 card, and I chose a floral backing paper from the Dollie Daydream - Girl Talk Collection, which I layered onto plain white cardstock. I printed a black and white garden image off of the Sundae of Seasons CD-Rom, which is available from Polkadoodles shop. I cut out the image and coloured it with my Graph'It Markers. Also on the same CD-Rom are the flowers from the garden image, so I cut a few out to decoupage the image.  I used All Dressed Up from the Girl Talk collection, again coloured with my Graph'It Markers.  The sentiment is also from the same collection, which I cut using a spellbinder die and coloured with pan pastels. I added the wooden embellishment and bling from my stash.

Susan ...Spring Flowers ,now isn't that a lovely thought a little bit of spring . This time I have used the papers and some embellishments from the Flowers and Leaves digi bundle, this set has some beautiful papers, toppers, embellishments and more, and the image is from the Fredericka collection which I just love, coloured with Graph'It markers the flowers are cut from velum and coloured with Graph'its,  added ribbon and die cuts and a little sprinkle of fairy dust. Happy crafting xx 

Anjie - I've done a CAS card for a change, not normally my style but wanted to show this image off to it's full potential. The image is Bee Happy and is coloured with Graph'It Markers. I've matted onto some pearl card and added an embossed panel which I have made using the Doobadoo Circles Stencil

Sally - Hi - I love the Spring, the warmth of the Sun! Bring it On I say!  Anyway, today's challenge was Spring Florals.  So I decided to look through all my Polkadoodle CD Roms!! What a collection I have! I chose Candy Doodles, this is such a pretty CD Rom. I love the papers images, everything really.  I chose the little boy holding a posy and printed off two backing papers and this image.  It is so easy. I cut the little fellow out and adhered him to the backing paper, cut out some flowers and butterflies from I new punch I have, with the other backing paper. Added a little glitter and centers to the flowers using dimentional paint and of course a sentiment.  

Jo - I diecut some pretty big flowers from gorgeous spring coloured backing papers from the back to nature collection and decided to use them on the base of an easel card. I love the impact it makes and it compliments the fab Dollie Daydream Bouquet digi stamp. It's a versatile image, perfect for Mother's Day this month. I added some smaller flowers and a stamped sentiment off the image which I hope is a quirky touch!

So there you go - Spring Florals.
Don't forget you have until 18th March to enter this one! We can't wait to see what you come up with!
