Amazing Adult Colouring Pages to die for, either on single download bundles or full collections - they are flying out of the Polkadoodles doors this week so don't miss them!

Helen - I'm here with my 4th and final GDT spot, I've had a great time joining you lovely ladies and have thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for having me! I've used 'Twiggy and Toots Paper Heaven 5 Bundle' and 'Eden - Plain Jane' papers download plus 'Winston Bear Etty Sewing' digi stamp.

Naz - Hi everyone, I'm joining you this week from the Polkadoodles team as a GDT as I had some spare time and wanted to do some extra DT work. On my card I have used the colour combo of yellow and green with a hint of blue. Everything I have used is from the Work and Play 10, Country Life collection.

Anjie - Everyone who knows me knows this bright blue is my fave colour of all time and that I also love purple. This past 3 or 4 years my hair has been both of these colours a few times!

The image, papers, embellies and the sentiment are all from the fabulous Octavia Frosted Winter download collection. If you prefer this on CD you can buy that HERE. And you can buy the image on it's own HERE.

Jane – Now like most of you I have a few fave colour combos but at the very top of that list has to be the super lush lilac/purple with blue/aqua! So as these are cool shades I chose a cool image to work with called ICE FISHING and she and her puffin are available as an individual digi or as part of the incredible OCTAVIA FROSTED WINTER COLLECTION.  The papers and sentiment are also from this collection and I coloured with Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils.  Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Tanya...I'm a proper colour combo girl and love love love colour in general, especially bright colours and after a long think I decided to go with pink and brown and made this sweet 70th birthday card, again like last week, using the Winston Collection.  This time I've used Etty Sewing and have decoupaged her and the papers and sentiments and button embellishments are from the collection to.  You can buy the collection on CD HERE or on Download HERE or even as a black and white digi HERE.  

Julie -- I went 3 ways with this theme, using my favorite Copic combinations, using pink and blue on my card -- a favorite of mine, and using this person and dog stamp -- a great, colorful combination!  The stamp and papers are part of a mini collection called "Kath Walking the Dog Digital Craft Download".  The sentiment is from the Winston Deluxe Paper Crafting collection.  I distressed the edges of all the papers to give it more of a rugged, outdoorsy look.

Monica.-My favorite colour combo are "earthy" tones, that´s why I love Autumn. Of course for my make I have had to use "Autumn/Fall digi stamp bundle". I used precoloured elements; also papers from Picknix.-In the garden and the sentiment is from Dollie Dream Goes East.

Lynda: My favourite color combo is Cool Aqua, pale brown and white so the papers from the Nordic Winter collection are just perfect, their definitely on my must have Christmas stash list.  This collection is available on  CD or as a digital download.  The image I used is so cute. he's called Hollybobs-snowballing. Have Fun xx 

Emma - My fav colour combo just has to be Blue & Purple, whenever I reach for my colouring medium I alway seem to pick up blues & purples. I have used Husky Hugs from the Frosted Winter Collection who can be found as an individual digi Here & I have coloured her up using Prismacolor Pencils. All of the papers are from the full Frosted Winter collection that can be found Here

Wendy - One of my favoured combo's is pink & green, I love the contrast of them together. For this card, I've used Octavia - Bird in Hand as my main image. The sentiment is also Octavia, but from the Moonfly collection, as is the alphabet I've used to make the 'daughter' tag and the pink backing paper.

Aunty Sue -  Hi well how long have you got Being a Gemini I have different favorite colour combos depending on the season and my mood. However this being Autumn I just love Browns with Orange and Green. For my card I have used Work & Play 10 - Country Life . The image i have used is Dog walker which is something I love to do. The papers are also from the CD. 

Audrey's favorite color combo is Pink, Purple and Turquoise.  I chose my image, Octavia Moonfly Rose Garden from the Octavia Moonfly Digital Craft Bundle, she can also be purchased as a single image HERE.  Image is colored with Copics and I made an aperture display card to showcase this beautiful image.  I chose papers from Eden Big Kahuna Download Collection and they can also be found in Eden Collection Paper Heaven 5 download.  My sentiment is from Work and Play Collection Volume 11.

Great makes from the DT yet again, wow!

So let’s see what the design team have made for us....
Helen -  I've used 'Spooky Witch' digi stamp, 'Spooky Sentiments' and 'Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 1' download.

Jane – Hi everyone! Not quite sure how ‘sentimental’ I was feeling when I made my project as I have gone a little ‘zombiefied’ this week!!  I LOVE Halloween and as it is just around the corner I made a shadow box card featuring the gorgeous ODDELLA BOW who, as you can see, is a rather messy eater(!!).  I also used elements from the new SPOOKY SENTIMENTS collection and papers from some of the awesome HALLOWEEN BUNDLES that can be found in the SHOP!    Have a lovely spooooky day! xxx

Julie -- I decided to really emphasize the sentimental feel of this challenge, and I used a sentiment as the focal point of my card. I used Nikky's Card Shape 2, an SVG file.  The sentiment, frame, and papers are all from the Rose Budd Craft Digital Download  Collection.  It's also available as a CD.  Here's to all of you, dear friends!

Monica.-For my sentimental make, I used a bunch of different products: papers from Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 1 and Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 2; the adorable sentiment and the potion bottle from Spooky Sentiments; and the lovely witch, tag and bat from Sundae of Seasons.

Emma - For my 'Feeling Sentimental' card I have used the awesomely spooky new Halloween collection. I have used the 'You're Spooky' sentiment as the main focus & have added the spooky house & skull banner that you can find it Here I have coloured up Dracula using Copics & you can find him Here. Both of the papers can be found in this fab bundle Here 

Tanya...For this week's challenge I've used lots of the lovely sentiment tickets from the Work & Play Love collection and papers from that collection too and I've zentangled one of the Icky Inks Oddella images called Oddella Heart available here.  Hope you like it. 

Wendy - I love this sentiment from the Octavia Moonfly collection and had a picture of my dog, Kayla, that suited it perfectly so decided to do a scrapbook page.This has been made 100% digitally using Craft Artist. The shadow of the fairies, which are the pre-coloured images from the same collection, have been changed to silhouettes, again using Craft Artist. All the embellies are also from the Octavia Moonfly. Several of these elements are available in smaller kits too on the Octavia page.

Aunty Sue- For my card I have used the fabulous Frosted Winter Octavia. I wanted to share some of the Embellishments and show how they can be a focal point. I have used the Candy Jar and added loads and loads of mini Ginger bread people inside. The cup is also an Embellishment I added some fluffy stuff for 3D effect. All the papers are from this CD too. The sentiment was my inspiration for this card and is the perfect Sentiment for these Embellishments dont you think! I just added some Ribbon, Lace and Pearls to finish.

Audrey, like Tanya, used a variety of different sentiments for my Feeling Sentimental creation.    All the sentiments I chose for today's creation are from the Witchie Witchie 2013 Download Bundle.  I also used 2 of the papers as well as the broom parking and graveyard embellies from the Witchie Witchie 2013 Download Bundle.  The image I chose this time is Witchie Skeleton Digi and the orange polka dot design paper is from the new Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 1.  I added a pumpkin die cut to round out the decorations on my card.

Anjie - I have chosen to focus just on a sentiment as I adore the one I have used and thought it deserved to be the main focus of my card. The fabulous sentiment and the papers I have used are all from the Serenity collection. You can find the sentiments on their own HERE, and the papers HERE.

Wow, who knew sentiments could be so inspiring! Great makes from the DT I’m sure you will agree....
