Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Great Outdoors

It's Friday so time for a new Polkadoodles challenge!  The theme as always is

Anything Goes

And the DT were challenge to the theme of Great Outdoors

I've used the Foxy Fun die from the Great Outdoors collection and used papers from the Hair / Skin / Fur paper pack and the patterned background from The Great Outdoors A5 paper pad.  I've cut a frame using the Fabulous Mitred Frames die.

And to finish off I've used my own Sizzix lettering dies to spell out the word Fox.  So very cute!  I really do enjoy making things other than cards and I like the idea of adding these as a feature on a wall!  I made a whole set of them with all the different dies - just now where to hang them!

Dad's 70th - E is for

Here I am again with another page of my Dad's 70th birthday card from earlier this year.  This week it is the letter E of sevEnty and I've used Feet Up and a Cuppa and Lamp images from Dr Digi.  I've coloured both with Promarkers and I made the floor myself from an off cut of kraft card.


The wallpaper is some papers that I've had in my stash for ages and were from a magazine.  letters are Sizzix Round-A-Bout and the large E is a chipboard shape that I've coloured with a black marker.

Next week is the letter N!  I'd like to enter the following:

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 167 - Anything Goes

Welcome to a new Crimbo Crackers challenge!  The theme for the fortnight is

Anything Goes

I've made a Christmas Tree using a box template I found on google and then cut out all the little tags (backed them onto off cuts of kraft card first) from the Holly Jolly 6x6 paper pack.  I wrapped some bakers twine around the tree first so I could then add the pegs to make it look like they were clipped to it.  When actually I've used foam pads underneath the numbers to stick them to the tree - was just a lot easier!


Something a bit different and quirky!  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Little Miss Muffet Stamps - Challenge 196 Inspiration

We are half way through the current Little Miss Muffet stamps challenge and I'm here with some more inspiration.  The theme as always is

Anything Goes

I've used Candy Floss Crew Quentin and coloured him with Promarkers.  I've used a freebie sentiment stamp that I've had for an absolute age and use time and time again; the chocolate brown card is from my stash and I've added a dotted white line with a white gel pen around the edge.


The papers are double sided 6x6 papers from Dovecraft - More or Less and I've lightly distressed them.  Good luck with the challenge!

Dad's 70th - V is for

I'm back with letter v from the word seVenty!  Part of the card I made for my Dad's birthday earlier this year.  I've used the following images from Dr Digi; CameraLava LampValve Radio and also Bloomin' 70's papers.

All images have been coloured with promarkers and I added glossy accents on the front of the lava lamp.  Tags have been handwritten and I researched the items to get an approximate year of significance.


The large letter V is a chipboard shape which I've coloured with a black marker and the other letters are from my Sizzix Round-A-Bout alphabet die set.  See you next week with another letter!
