** Dollie Daydream Goes East CD Collection

Here is what the fabulous DT have to offer you for inspiration this week!.....

JAN:  Well, if it isn't a card it seems to be a tag these days! I love them - here's what I did with the fabulous new 'Dollie Daydream goes East' collection. Everytime Nikky designs a new collection, I think it's my favourite - but I really fell in love with this one. All papers and elements are printed from the CD and Dollie is coloured with my Promarkers to co-ordinate with the lanterns - don't you just love the tiny little scroll!

Asha - The brief for the DT this week is to show a little oriental love but not in a card. Perfect! I went ahead and made this money / gift voucher wallet... who says money can't buy you love! This image is just one of the many gorgeous ones found in the Dolly Daydream Goes East Download Collection. I coloured the little dollie with Graph It and Promarkers. The backing paper is soooo lush, you really don't need (or want) to over-embellish. I just used some sheer lilac ribbon for the belly band.

Bev here with  a lovely bottle tag (my own design) made using the fabulous new Dollie Daydream Goes East CD. The  tag itself is printed using the lush backing papers, I added a sentiment in my graphics programme before cutting out. I decorated it with one of the beautiful digi stamps that I coloured in with Graph'it Markers adding a flower and die cut foliage. It makes a lovely little finishing touch to a bottle/gift.

Sally - Well how cute is this?  This little box is on the template section of the Dollie Daydreams Gone East CD Rom.  I printed the template onto cardstock, then printed the backing paper over the top, cut it out and put it together.  I need a flower or some thing for the top, so I cut out two of the flowers from the backing paper and then added a button for the centre and then a sentiment.

Alethea - I can't seem to get into the whole love thing I guess cos I have been single so long :) but I do love the new  Dollie Daydream Goes East cd. I decided to put together this fan using the template from the  Dollie Daydream Goes East cd. I printed the papers (which are also from the  Dollie Daydream Goes East cd) first then printed the template on top of that! I needed to incorporate love somehow so ended up printing the word "love" (also from the Dollie Daydream Goes East cd) onto one of the fan sections. I then printed off one of the Oriental girls and I think this is the first time in a very long time that I actually coloured in the image myself!

Karon - Well we are all in love with this fabulous new collection - Dollie Daydream Goes East.  I decided to make an Oriental Valentines banner :-)  All the elements are from this fabulous CD.

Anjie - It's not my turn for the Polka Doodles challenge this week but I'm having so much fun with the new Dollie Daydream Goes East CD Collection that I thought I'd gate crash! This box folds flat to fit in an envelope and is so eye catching, I just love it! Everything I have used on it comes from the CD. 


Kerrie - Oh Wow!!! I love this 'Dollie Goes East' CDrom collection and when I saw the theme of this Challenge I was very pleased the DT have been challenge to 'Oriental Love' but not a Card eeeek!! So I had a think of what I could make and decided on an upcyle project a pot for some of my fave pens using a famous crisps mini-tub and then I wanted to make a tag to go with it. I have used Papers, Embellishments, Digi's, Sentiment, Build-a-Fleurs and Letter Tiles from the CDrom.

WOW!! AMAZING makes from the team this week I'm sure you'll agree!!
