Polkadoodles birthday fun continues

Happy 7th birthday Polka Doodles



As this anniversary is normally called the "7 year itch", the Polka Doodles team have embraced the prickly feeling by scratching that itch and mixing/scratching up some new images ... get the pun? Corny we know but the team have had great fun. So to embrace the “itchy scratch” the Polka Doodles team have thrown caution to the wind and “scratched up” a different kind of birthday celebration.


The birthday celebrations will be running for 2 weeks and each day someone from the Polka Doodles team will be sharing their “mixed/scratched up” image. It’s been all hush hush and secret squirrel too as no one knows who has been busy creating what and when they will be revealing their image... so the Polka Doodles team get to join in the fun too. To add an extra layer of itchy fun, everyone has also been colouring up the new “scratched/mixed up” images, (still not knowing who designed them) and they will be sharing via their blogs and on FaceBook.
We really have scratched things up ... new merged images, no one knows who created what and no one knows when they’ll be sharing them ...!

Please do take the opportunity to visit the Polka Doodles team and see their new digi images because you will find a discount code (or two) along your way that you can use in the Polka Doodles shop.

So today I am sharing a creation using an image scratched up by one of my teamies, I'm not sure who it is, but I love the image they scratched together. Keep an eye out on facebook for their make with the same image and check out their blog for a special code you can use in the shop.

The image I have used is a combination of:
Cinders

Polkadoodles challenge - Birthday Celebrations

Hi everyone and welcome to another fabulous Polkadoodles challenge. Our new theme is 

Birthday Celebrations


For my DT inspiration this week, I have made a cake card, because really, what is a birthday celebration without cake. To decorate my cardboard cake, I used a background paper from Winnie Fruit Punch for the icing, added a die cut sentiment and then decorated the cake with some toppers from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles and of course the candle embellishments  which I found in the Winston Collection. I also added some pearls, a rose and some ribbon and bows.

Here is my card:


Oh by the way, did you see that Nikky has put out a call for our fabulous International DT team? This is your chance to come join one of the best DT's around and join in all our fun!!
