The random winner (chosen by Random.org) will receive £5 worth of downloads of your choice from the digi store!

As we ran our Birthday Celebration Challenge for two weeks there are no winners to announce this week, so we will be back next week to announce the winners of our Week 22 Think Summer Challenge 


So let’s see what the design team have made for us….
Helen - Well aren't they always a problem to make a card for? You can't go wrong with a little espionage though so how about this great Spy/James Bond character. You can find him along with the licensed to thrill sentiment in the store right HERE 


Anjie I've used the beach hut, the sun and the sun glasses from the new Summertime collection, and everything is coloured with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints. The sentiment is also from the same collection. I printed the images out 3 times and decoupaged them. I kept the card CAS as most men don't like fussy things do they, so I finished it off with a squiggly line. Lots more details and a close up photo on my blog.

Julie - I have used Karate Boy from Work & Play 7 to create a Congratulations card for my little boy, when he completes his next Karate grading.  Image is coloured with Copics, all details and pics showing how I created the card are on my Blog.


Gail - I've used a couple of images from the Work and Play 8 - Feel The Music Collection to create my birthday card. The guitar and speakers are pre-coloured digis from the Work and Play 8 collection and I got inky to create the background, more details over on my blog. The Work and Play 8 Feel The Music collection is available as an instant download or on CD-ROM.

 Jane – Hello! Oh wow the new collection from Nikky, WINNIE IN WONDERLAND is beyond amazing and that is what I have used for my male card this week.  I have the white rabbit ‘dashing’ across my card and he is called, appropriately, I’M LATE.  I duplicated, manipulated and then lightened each image progressively to give the illusion of speed.  I also tried to adapt my pencil colouring to match. I hope it looks like he’s running along and not being chased by bunny ghosts!!! J Have a lovely crafty day! xxx 

Monica-For this male make, I used precoloured image and sentiment from Work & Play 4 and papers, fence and tree from Cherryblossom Lane.


Audrey loves the versatility of the Work and Play bundles from Polkadoodles shop because they have both female and male characters, which makes it so much easier to construct a masculine creation.  This time I chose Work and Play 12 Big Kahuna Download Collection for my card.  My image, papers and embellies are from this set, my sentiment and backing are from one of the design sheet elements, also found in Work and Play 12 Big Kahuna Download Collection.  Sure hope you like it and please visit my blog for details on how I made my card.


Tanya  - So for this week's challenge I've made my dad's Father's Day card which in the UK falls on Sunday.  He loves the Sticks & Bones collection so much, and loved the colouring book bag I made him, so it was a no brainer really that I should make his card from the same collection.  Full details can be found on my blog together with more close up photos.  You can get your collection HERE on CD and HERE on download

Great makes from the DT I’m sure you will agree, we have some great ideas for you this week!

..................................................................................................................................
So let’s see what the design team have made for us….
AND we're starting off with a tutorial from Jane...


Jane – Hello! OMG Nikky’s new collection WINNIE IN WONDERLAND is AMAZING and I have used elements from it to make my card this week.  I have cropped, copied and flipped the fabulous Red Queen (available separately HERE) to make her into  a playing card and coloured the Flamingo (an individual digi HERE) to look as if he is not quite finished being painted!  You can find out how I did this using Word by looking on my blog for details J Have a lovely crafty day! xxx
Helen - You can't beat a fairy dancing and here's our Serenity doing just that you can find her here in the store I've combined her with one of the 6 x 6 colouring pages from the Colour Therapy Inspiring Foliage CD  all coloured with my Lyra Rembrandt Pencils.
Julie - Before long it will be the Summer holidays and I am looking forward to drinking Pina Coladas on the beach and this Winnie Fruit Punch image is all about cocktails 'One for you' coloured with Copics.
Tanya - My make this week uses lots of sentiments that are inspirational.  My make including the papers and the digi and the sentiment are from the Work & Play 12 collection.  You can get this on CD HERE and download HERE.  More close up pictures and details on my blog.
Anjie - Well this week has seen lots of squealing from me, and this new collection is the reason for it!  I've used Design Sheet 2 and a 17cm square card blank, and one of the lush background papers. I cut everything out, glued the paper slightly off the card, then added the background off of the design sheet, and separated them with the black pen line. Then I added all the elements randomly around the card onto 3D foam pads to give some height to them, and ta da, as simple as that! More details and photos on my blog.
Monica.-For this challenge, I`m using some of the lovely sentiments included on Polkadoodles collections, to make a couple of pocket letters. For the first one, I used Lavender Tea Collection; but then Nikky released Winnie in Wonderland and I made another one.



Gail -   I saw the 'Take A Moment' sentiment on the brand new release Winnie in Wonderland and I just had to make an art journal page. Life can get a little hectic and I think we all need to take a step back and enjoy the moment we're in or just catch our breathe and this sentiment expressed this perfectly, along with the fab white rabbit digi image, also on the Winnie in Wonderland collection.
You can the Winnie in Wonderland full collection on CD-ROM or as an instant download.

Audrey chose Maddie Give Us A Twirl digi image and colored it with Copics.  I used papers from Winston Deluxe Full Collection and Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Download Collection.  Sentiment and badge plus flower pot embellies are also from Wintson Deluxe Full Collection.    Sure hope you like it, come visit my blog for all the details on my creation.


Great makes from the DT I’m sure you will agree, we have some great ideas for you this week!

So let’s see what the design team have made for us….


Helen - Can't wait for the summer is it here yet!! Well Seashore Shannon thinks it has you can find her here in the store , she's part of the Pretty Sweet collection. I just love her hair, looking a bit seasidey windswept I think!! Mine looks like that without the weather to help !!

Julie - I am so excited to join the Team here at Digi Choosday and for my first post, 'beeing' as I am so happy I am sharing some happy Bees from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.  What is more Summery than cute Buzzy Bees?

Jane – Hello! Clearly I was thinking along the same lines as Julie with my make this week. J  I have used lots of the pre-coloured elements from the wonderful WINNIE FRUIT PUNCH COLLECTION to make a pop-up box card! I just adore the gorgeous chubby bees and they just scream summer to me…well buzz summer anyway! J Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Gail - Roll on the sunshine!! For the 'Think Summer' I choose a beach hut digi stamp from the Sundae of Seasons CD collection, to create an page in one of my art journals. Apologies if you are now singing along :)



Monica.-Summer is all about sun, beach, ocean, waves, breeze and this what my makes shows. I used precoloured image, papers and sentiment from Work & Play 4 Collection.


Audrey used the image Eden  Birdcage which can also be found in the Eden Big Kahuna Bundle Download Collection.  Image is colored with Copics.  Sentiment and badge are from Lavender Tea Download Collection.  Papers are from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Full Download Collection and flowers are from Winnie Fruit Punch Full Download Collection.  Additional details can be found on my blog.


Anjie - For my make this week I have used one of the colouring pages from the Colour Therapy 2, Inspiring Foliage downloadable colouring book. I've used Sakura Glaze pens to colour it in and it is so shiny, the photo doesn't do it justice at all, it's really hard to capture the glaze. 

Tanya  - For this week's challenge, having just come back from a wonderful holiday I thought I would make a start on my scrapbook album for the second leg of our holiday which was a  week's stay in Sa Coma, Majorca and this is the first page I've created using the sky paper, boat and compass from the Little Kingdom Collection together with the wood and the bunting from the lovely sweet Winston Collection and combined it with three photos from our holiday.  Hope you like it.

Gail Well it's time to celebrate and I've choosen the beautiful Lemonade Fizz collection for my challenge make, it's available on CD-ROM or as an instant download or for the best possible value for money you can purchase the digital collection with the matching stamp set

Anjie I have used the bird house digi from the fab Winnie Fruit Punch download collection.
I printed it out a few times to decoupage bits of it. I coloured it with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints. There paints are working so well with all our Polkadoodles products, and are great for new colourers to use and it doesn't matter if it's not perfect.

Helen - I've used something a little bit different and that also taught me a few new techniques with my pencils as part of Nikky's sponsorship for the Kit and Clowder Create and Learn classes. These little cuties are Mammoth Friends now available for you all to play with http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/kit-clowder-class-image-mammoth-friends-dinosaur-digital-stamp-craft-download/

Audrey - This week I made a banner, a great way to celebrate any achievement (in my opinion at least:))  I chose this sweet image called One For You and it comes with the frame around it as part of the Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle Download.  The sentiment I created features 2 of the sentiments found in the Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle Download that I combined in GIMP and cut with my Cameo.  These beautiful papers can be found in Work and Play Volume 12 Big Kahuna Download.  To find out how I colored my image and did the background, please come visit my blog.  Hugs!!


Monica.-For this birthday celebrations, I made a shell shaped card to create an scene for the beautiful mermaid digi taken from Bonbon Belles Collection. The colorful papers I used, as well as the sentiment, are from Dollie Daydream Goes East Collection.
