Digi Choosday Challenge – Anything Goes!

Good morning!  How is everyone, well I hope?

It is Choosday which means it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and our final challenge of the year!!  As we wanted to end 2015 in style our theme this time is Anything Goes!  As always we have a wonderful prize on offer for our lucky winner so check out the BLOG for details and as it is also DISCOUNT DAY you need to grab the code to get a MASSIVE reduction in the POLKADOODLES SHOP! But be quick, the offer is a 24 hour only deal!!  It’s Christmas…treat yourself!

To be honest I don’t get on too well with an Anything Goes challenge.  I really prefer a theme to work to and without one I can get a bit stumped!!

So with that in mind I decided to show a project that I made ages ago for Nikky’s Create and Craft OCTAVIA FROSTED WINTER show back in September. 
I made a dog treat bag (containing gravy bones, MY dogs absolute fave) and I had the devil’s own job keeping my littlest Staffy (as seen in my profile pic) from grabbing them off the table when I took the photo.  Definitely a ‘get down Shep’ moment! J
Ingredients:
All pre-coloured elements: OCTAVIA FROSTED WINTER
Card: Super Smooth
Dies: Tattered Lace ‘Large Decorative Rectangles’ – Tonic Nesting Circles and Ovals – Tag free with mag
Others: Twine – Stickles – Pearl – Eyelet - Cello bag

So make no bones about it and wag that tail over to THE BLOG and join in with our fab challenge.  And don’t forget to visit the STORE  as it’s….    
…..so snag the DISCOUNT CODE


This is my last post for 2015 and as the hectic season is here I will be trying to stay away from the computer if I can.  I won’t be around much to comment but you all make such super gorgeous stuff I’m sure you don’t need me to confirm that!! J

So I would just like to take this opportunity to thank you all for being so kind and generous with your support and comments and hope that you all have a ridiculously happy Christmas and a peaceful,  joyful and healthy New Year!

See ya! (And there goes the jingle of sleigh bells receding into the distance!! J)

  11. Love the shape of the treat topper, Jane. I fear my Sophie would also be trying to snag those treats off the table. She'd think they look yummy in that beautiful bag. Great project!

  25. Gorgeous gift bag Jane, my youngest dog would have eaten right through the plastic bag as he just ate a plastic box container that he got for his treats for Christmas! LOL, I agree on the anything goes, I do much better when I have a theme, otherwise my mind wanders all over the place! haha Love being part of Digi Choosday DT with you and hope you Christmas was amazing! Many hugs:) Audrey
