Polkadoodle Challenge 21 - Doodled Edge and Birthday!

It's time for another Polkadoodles challenge and this week the theme is:

Doodled Edge but make it Birthday!

We celebrated our Third Birthday earlier in the week and have a huge prize for one lucky winner, and for this challenge too there is a fantastic prize!  It's hard to believe that I've been with Polkadoodles Design Team from day one - the time really has flown!

I've made a cute Birthday card using the bear template from Paper Boutique Vol 3 - I used the A5 template, cut all the elements out and layered it up adding wobbly eyes and glossy accents on the nose.  I made the gift using papers from the same cd and adding some ribbon plus the doodled edge.

The number has been cut from glitter card and I've used my Sizzix Round A Bout dies for it.

Good luck with the challenge - if you don't enter you won't stand a chance of winning a wonderful prize!

I'd like to enter the following challenges:

Paper Sundaes:  Pretty In Pink
Send A Smile for Kids:  Anything Goes

• All paperbased items:  Paper Boutique Vol 3
• Everything else:  My stash

Baby Blue

I found a new challenge site last week - CD Sunday and entered the challenge, so have decided to go with this weeks too, which is:

Check It Out

Basically, as long as something from a crafting CD has been used and the theme has been followed, then it can be entered! I've used papers from Candy Doodles from Polkadoodles plus an off-cut that I found in the scraps box.

The punch is a Martha Stewart one and I've used the off-cut from making the card blank (trying to cut down on waste - not that I throw much away anyway!) The ribbon, found in my ribbon bag was just about the right length hence why it is not tied!

The cute bear, coloured with Promarkers is from Digi Sparkle. I've used one of my Nesties to cut around the image and added three square brads from my stash to the top corner. A bit of inking and corner rounding and the card is complete!

I have a feeling that, time permitting, I will be entering each week for these CD Sunday challenges as most of my stash is digital and on a CD!

Just a Cute Baby Bear!

I needed to make a baby girl card as a friend is due any day so this fits with the Just Cute Bears Challenge which is:

Baby Creation

I've used some fancy scissors to cut the scallop edge (I must expand my Nestabilities!) so its not quite perfect! All the card is from my stash and I've coloured a Digi Sparkle bear with Promarkers.


I've dotted around the edge of the card with a sparkly pink gel pen. The ribbons are from my stash and the Queen and Co brad was sent to me (along with a pot of others!) by Jenny (thank you!)

A great quick card to make so I think I'll make some more like this to pad out my box!
