Digi Choosday Challenge –Birthday Celebrations!

Hello….again! J Here I am with post number 2! Phew!

It’s Choosday and as I mentioned in my previous post the team are celebrating Polkadoodles reaching the grand old age of 7!! Oh yes! So our challenge at DIGI CHOOSDAY this time has the rather obvious theme of Birthday Celebrations! He he and this time it lasts for 2 WEEKS!! As always we have a wonderful prize on offer for our lucky winner so check out the BLOG for details.   And don’t forget you could also win a Feather in Your Cap! See all the details HERE.

And if that wasn’t all it is also DISCOUNT DAY so you need to grab the code to get a MASSIVE reduction in the POLKADOODLES SHOP! It’s a limited offer so no dawdling!!

My stepper card features one of my fave combos pink and blue (with a touch of Kraft of course) and one of my all-time fave images ODDELLA BOW.

As you can see she is all dressed up to party with hat and her balloons (merged behind her in Craft Artist) although she doesn’t look too enthusiastic about the whole thing.  Don’t worry, a few margaritas later and she’ll be fine. J

Digi Choosday Challenge – Week 29: For a Girl!

Hello!  Big hugs everyone!

It’s Choosday so it’s time for a new challenge over at DIGI CHOOSDAY and our theme this week is For a Girl, so we would like to see all your girly/feminine creations please! As always we have a fab prize on offer so check out the BLOG for details and as it is also DISCOUNT DAY you just have to grab the code to get money off in the POLKADOODLES SHOP!

So I’m a girl (I use the ladies room so I must be) and there is nothing I like more than a good handbag (unfortunately this is not a good handbag J I’d NEVER get my purse in this!!) so I thought I would create one by taking a 6x6 card and trimming it down.

The image is the wonderful ODDELLA WITH BAG who I tried to colour to match the stunning papers from the EDEN COLLECTION.  Quite why she has blue skin is anyone’s guess but she does have a zombie look, bless her, so it seemed appropriate. Or maybe she’s feeling a bit blue as she can’t get her purse in this bag either!! J

ODDELLA is part of the gorgeous ICKYINK ART COLLECTION where there are 5 beautiful ladies to collect!

Ingredients:

Image: ODDELLA WITH BAG

Papers, Sentiment and Flowers: EDEN BIG KAHUNA BUNDLE

Dies/Punches: Spellbinders ‘A2 Bracket Border 1’ – Tonic ‘Frond Finesse’ and ‘Nesting Circles’ – Sizzix Oval Framelits – Sue Wilson ‘Pierced Tags’ - X-Cut ‘Corner Rounder’

Card: Neenah Solar White

Colouring/Ink: Spectrum Noir markers and pencils – Pumice Stone DI

Others: Gems – Ribbon – Faux stitching
