Nikky - I'm a little in love with the latest Funky Flowers Polkadoodles release so I had fun creating this card using the stamps and stencils...

Ariadna - I used this great Elvis Wesley digital stamp and created my own background papers. I coloured the stamp and then outlined it with a fineliner pen to create this sketchy hand drawn look. Hope you like it!

NATALIA - Hi All crafters :), For today's inspiration, I have prepared a Christmas card in the shape of a door. I decorated it with a wreath made of spruce twigs - Holly & Spruce die. After opening, I created a scene with our super new stamps with Santa popping out of the chimney among the Christmas trees - I used Merry Santa Christmas Holiday stamp.

SABINA - Hello and welcome to our Autumn challenge this week. I did a mixed media project with Apple Bobbing Halloween Gnome digital stamp and Halloween Trick or Treat printable Greetings. I glued down Distress Ink Papers plain digital papers to the cardboard and then applied gesso and coloured with watercolour paints and Stabilo Woody pencils. I stamped leaves from Flower Collage Stamp set on some parts of the cardboard.

Christin - For my next christmas card I used the NewFriendsSnowman. I coloured him and the little bird with my alcohol markers and made a background with my lovely Distress Oxides and use a snowfall stencil.

Ariadna - Hello crafters!!, I come today with more #halloween inspiration, using the beautiful Wednesday Skull digi stamp available in the beautiful Polkadoodles website!. I colored the digital stamp with my lovely color pencils and I made a simple background using my inks and that's all. Hope do you like it!!

Let's see the great projects the team have made for you this month!...

Sarah - I pushed myself out of my comfort zone for this card - I usually use my alcohol markers for colouring but this time I thought I'd try water colouring. This Perfect Poinsettias stamp set has become a new favourite for me so I stamped and coloured and cut an aperture - inside of which I added this lovely Merry Christmas die cut sentiment. I like making some Christmas cards early - it definitely takes a little of the pressure off when it gets to Christmas time.

Maz - For my 'Fantasy' themed card, I used Witch Cauldron from the Gnome Trick or Treat Collection. I coloured her using ProMarkers. For the cauldron card, I used the Snow Globe Die and Grunge Slime Stencil. I attached spider webs and pumpkins using Spooky Hat and Spooky Pumpkin die sets. All details are on my blog.

ENRICA - Hello crafty friends! Today's challenge is a great one, Christmas organisation! I don't know about you but I never have enough tags when getting closer to Christmas time LOL! For my tags I used three of the cute gnomes which you can find in the Gnome Festive Fun Big Bundle. I also used the 'Gift Tree' - 'Just for You Gift' - 'Put your Boots on' images too. I colored them with Copic markers and added WordArt Sentiment from the Christmas Joy Bundle...

Natalia - I made these lovely lanterns using the Latte Christmas Tweetings stamp set...

Ariadna - Hello crafters!! This week's challenge is Halloween! Halloween is coming and witches are preparing a super funny party! Inspired on this I decided to create this card with the super cute digital stamp Winnie Wednesday Witch & Cat. I colored these super sweet stamps with my favorite pencil colors and for the background I added a little bit of color using just some crayons and that's all! I hope you like it!

Natalia - Welcome to our Halloween / Autumn challenge this week :). This time I have prepared a mixed media project with digital stamps such as Spooky House Halloween and Spooky Sentiments. My background I coloured with watercolour paints and Distresses, but this gorgeous Spooky House I transferred again from the paper to project. You can spot a mirror reflection :). I corrected it a bit with black gesso to make a deep of black look. I added around all the spooky things and my work was ready! Have fun creating something that you like!

Sabina - For today's challenge I decided to do a mixed media project with autumn colours. I' ve used this cute precoloured digi stamp Gnometastic Just in Case and

Spring Gnome fun puns, quotes and sentiments. On the background you can see stamped parts of flower from Flower Collage Stamp set.

Catrin - Hi everyone, I have created a DL Halloween card using the new Bat Gnome from the Halloween Gnome Bundle. The image has been coloured with Promarkers and fussy cut. The background has been created by blending 3 different distress inks, Villainous Potion, Dusty Concord and Seedless Preserves leaving a white circle for the moon - I then used a cloud stencil and Black Soot distress ink to create the colour effect I then Flicked some white paint and left to dry. I then added the sloped with Black Soot. I die cut the sentiment from the Gnome Trick or Treat Printable Greetings set and to complete I added 2 die cut bats.

Ann-Nicole - Hello all! This week, the DT was challenged to create something with a magical fantasy theme. I chose a Polkadoodles image that you can actually get for free just for signing up for their newsletter! This little gal is so cute and I had so much fun coloring her! All of the details can be found at canterburycarddesigns.com. Come join us for this magical challenge!

Natalia Kuzak - Hi All crafters! Today I've prepared for you an art journal page in beautiful autumn colours - which are gougeres! Mixed of red, orange and brown, all these you can find on my project - colored with Distresses. I used a digital stamp of Winnie Wednesday Pumpkin and one of the Spooky Sentiments. This sentiment I transferred from the paper to my project. How? I used a laser printer and express transfer solution. It's very easy to do this for those who have that type of printer. Try this super fast technique!

Happy crafting for everyone!

Ariadna - I used this cute scarecrow with these other digital stamps from this great Autumn printable collection...

Rachael - Its almost Autumn, can you believe it? Time to start and think about cards for the colder months and to get ahead I made this card for Halloween. This fellow is called Frankenstein boo but don't just think about Halloween - he would make a perfect birthday card for those little monsters in your life too. The background papers are also from Paper heaven Halloween/Autumn bundle 2...
