We're delighted to welcome Katrina and Melissa who have joined us on our Design Team, we're thrilled to have such great creative talents with us!...

So lets see what our Design Team have made this week....


Yvonne - Hello! This week I used 'Marigold' from the stunning new collection 'Darling Buds'.  Now this is available as an individual digi download, or as a download collection. I cut a plain white 7x7 back, then I cut a smaller 'nest' square in a paper I found in 'Winne Fruit Punch'.  I added a sentiment from the 'Darling Bud' collection and added that all important piece of ribbon.

Petra.This week we are having a Chinese exchange student in our house, so I thought to welcome her in Holland with Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime easel card. I coloured Winnie with my Copic markers.On the background I used Painted wood from the distressed wood papers.


AnjieTo make this colourful tag I inked up some white linen card and then cut it in the shape of a tag. I added a squiggly line around the edges to frame it. I then fussy cut some left  over elements from a Winnie In Wonderland design sheet I used previously to make a card, and mounted them onto the tag using 3D foam. Then I finished it off by adding some sparkly ribbon. So on this tag there are 2 faux ribbon bows and the real ribbon at the top.

Hester  My second card. This time I used Eden blossoms from the Eden-collection. I love the Eden collection. They are all so beautiful. I used ribbon and lace for a romantic look.

Jane S - I tried my hand at a little shabby chic-ness this week using the uber gorgeous Belle Papillon Collection.
Julie Reed - I just can't step away from the gorgeous Darling Buds, so I have coloured Snowdrop on Kraft, using Prismacolor Premier Pencils.

Monica - For this week make, I wanted to mix the beauty of lace and ribbon with the beautiful colours and flowers from Lavender Tea Collection. I love the gorgeous rolled flowers that this collection includes.

Melissa - For this week I have used the gorgeous Maddie give us a twirl.  She has been coloured using Copic Markers.
Julia - For this week I have enjoyed getting my pens out and coloured up Serenity Stardust - You can find her here and I have teamed her up with papers from the Octavia Frosted Winter collection, which you can find here...

Dawn  - For this week I have used the gorgeous Helga Hippo - Say HI. She has been coloured using Copic Markers.

Ċ½eljka-Hello!!!For this week I use  adorable image Snow White and colored it with my color pencils.
Also I use sentiment from Helga Hippo Sentiments and designer  paper from Helga Hippo Paper Heaven 4 bundle....

Pauline - I have used papers and a topper from the Polkadoodles Belle Papillon Vintage CD Rom to create a Shabby Chic Birthday Card.  The butterfly and sentiment also come from the CD, I distressed the edges of everything and inked them with distress ink.

Jane P.-This weeks make is from the Lavender Tea Collection.  Papers, flowers and tea bag in the corner pocket are all from the collection adding a bit of Antique ultrafine glitter to the flower edges.  More details on my blog.

Katrina  Hi! My digi is Bear Etty from the Winston Collection.  I used several papers: some from The Winston Collection as well as the Helga Hippo Paper Heaven 4 Bundle!   The little dress form is from a Winston Design Sheet.  You can find the flower cutting file in the Science/Math/Teacher/Professional/Student/Geek Bundle Kit.  The thread spool cuts are found in the Sewing Bundle Cutting File and that pretty intricate flourish/vine is actually part of a frame from Bird Frames SVG Cutting File.
Great work from the team!

We are all so pleased to have you join us on Digi Choosday!

So lets see what our Design Team have made this week....

Jane P- For this weeks challenge the Digi Choosday team had to use a designer sheet.  Since I have not used the Winston Collection as of yet, that was my sheet of choice.  I also incorporated one of the Elegant Nest dies.
Monica - It´s always easy to craft with Polkadoodles design sheets. For my card I used design sheet 02 from Work & Play 8.-Feel the Music Collection. I love this design sheet because the image is already broken in pieces to make decoupage and I really like the dimension I got for my project.

Jane S - I have made a Mother's Day Card using Design Sheet 5 from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Collection.


Anjie - I used design sheet 2 from the Winnie In Wonderland collection. There are still some bits left over from this, you get so much on the design sheets.
Julie - This week the design sheet I have used is from the Helga Hippo collection, isn't she just adorable and I really love the pastel colours.

Pauline - I've used a design sheet from the Helga Hippo Download Bundle. I printed the topper a few times so that I could fussy cut her and add some decoupage layers.  Everything on my card comes from Design Sheet 9 including the sentiment tag, bunting and flowers, all I have added is a little piece of ribbon, some twine and lots of gems.

Yvonne - I opted to use the 'Helga' collection, there are so many pretty design sheets on this collection, you can find it here as a digi bundle or here as the CD. I made a 7x7 card and used all the elements from the design sheet as well as one additional paper from the collection.

Dawn - I opted to use the  Winston Collection. I used design sheet 4.  I love this design sheet because the image is already broken in pieces to make decoupage and I really like the dimension I got for my project.

Hester   My first card for the Choosday team. I used Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime design sheet 10. I love the Winnie Sprinkles specialy "Hi it's me"...

Petra My first card for Polkadoodles. I used Helga Hippo Design sheet 11 and made this card. You can send it flat in an envelope and then you can pop it out so it can stand. It's the first card I made like this and I think it's kind of funny. Hope you'll like it to ;)


Ċ½eljka-Hello!!!I am so exited! This is my first post for Digi Choosday challenge and I enter with Easel card using Winston Collection design sheet.
Hi its Julia here, so excited to be sharing my first DT make with you. This week I decided to step back in time & used a design sheet from the Rosebud collection.
Great work from the team!

DESIGN TEAM CALL - FEB 2017

WE NEED YOU!

Here at Digi Choosday we need new Design Team members for our lovely fun team! You can be from anywhere in the world.
We have an amazing team of creative minds here at Polkadoodles with the focus on TEAM and not ME!

We need COLOURISTS AND GENERAL CARD MAKERS!
We are looking for good all round card makers who have a flair for what they do, whether you love colouring, using templates to make shaped cards, boxes, mixed media, you love using dies etc - as this is a digital team you need to have a good standard of Colouring skills but we don't mind what medium you use and you can make ANY style of card, we are looking for people who are versatile and like to use different things in their card making, NOT JUST Colourists, so if colouring isn't your thing we still want to hear from you too! 

The DT is expected to inspire creativity with our challenge followers so you must have good skill levels and be able to produce good quality photographs to showcase your work.

1. COMMITMENT: Initially a 3 month term, with a review to stay longer
2. WEEKLY blog post, every Tuesday with a requirement to work at least 2 weeks in advance (more is ideal). You are required to link your posts.
3. YOU MUST HAVE A BLOG
4. POST & COMMENT: You must be prepared to regularly engage with the team and commit to rotas for posting and leaving comments on the challenge entries each week, all of which is done on a very organised rota system which includes the use of social media platforms such as Blogger, Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram etc.
5. As this is a digital team you must be prepared to use your home printer to print off digital images, including COLOUR prints of papers/decoupage sheets etc. This is what we do - if you can't print good quality colour, please don't apply. We expect you to use our papers, not your own, we have tons of downloads and this is what you will promote for us.

CLOSING DATE FOR APPLICATIONS: 27th FEBRUARY 2017

You will be generously rewarded with digital products which more than compensates you for the work you will do for the team. In addition we often have extra tasks which are optional and voluntary, such as being involved in new product launch parties and making physical samples for launches which means your work can be shown on TV.

You will be part of a really fun team of fabulous people and will be welcomed and supported all the way. We run a tight ship and we have no room for personal ego's, we're just here to craft and spend our time enjoying what we do and inspiring others.

You can read more about our teams HERE, but if you'd like to apply we'd love to hear from you.
Just email us HERE and tell us briefly why you think you should be on the team and send us links to your blog, facebook etc and some of your most RECENT, favourite work so we can get a feel for your style and what you like to make...

We will reply to everyone that applies within 3 weeks of the closing date - we look forward to hearing from you!

Jane S - I have made a rocker card this week with the gorgeous Winnie Fruit Punch Collection  and lots of dies!!
Monica - It´s Valentines Day and I want to celebrate it with Lily Bug Love Collection. I used papers, sentiments, embellishments and a precoloured image to make a hearts exploding box. There is a chocolate hiden underneath Lily Bug.

Anjie - I used the ever so cute Lily Bug Love collection to make this CAS card.  I printed the word art quite large and mounted onto the card using 3D foam, I then added a faux pearl onto the banners and again mounted onto the card with 3D foam. Simple but effective I think.
