Scraplift alert!Welcome back to Design Dollies - for the fifth Monday in May. This week we've put together a bonus challenge for you :)<br />
<br />
Each of the Dollies has chosen one of their favourite Design Dollies projects to share. What we'd love YOU to do is to choose one (or more, if you like) and <b>scraplift it</b>! You don't need to stick to the criteria of the original challenge - you just need to take inspiration from the project and create something NEW of your very own. It can be a layout, a card, an altered object, ANY crafty project that you like. Enter as many times as you like.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">Here's the Design Dollies favourites that we've selected for you:</div><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">Welcome to the February <b>TRIFECTA</b>! Here are your ingredients...<br />
<br />
<b>Karen's Colours:</b><br />
<br />
<img border="0" src="http://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w2/jazikt/DDColourFEB.jpg" width="300" /><br />
<br />
<b>Adina's Elements:</b><br />

What you you need to do? Easy... combine each of the ingredients into a single creation! Well, maybe not exactly <i>easy</i>, but that's why it's called a <i>CHALLENGE</i>, right? Remember, you can create anything you like - a layout, card, off-the-page project. <br />
<br />
** Here's a hint too - if you've popped into the Dollhouse each week during the month, you'll already know what the ingredients are, potentially giving you an extra week to ponder and prepare your masterpiece! **<br />
<br />
Our fabulous Design Dollies show you that it <i>CAN</i> be done:<br />

For those who are new to the concept of the Dollhouse 'trifecta', this is how it works ~ Create a NEW project which incorporates <i>each</i> of the first three challenges for the month (ie - you must feature the colors, you must address the elements criteria, you must use the sketch.) Some months this will be easier than others. Every month, we promise to provide samples from our Design Dollies to show you that it <i>can</i> be done!<br />
<br />
If you've been following along so far this month, you will already know what the ingredients are. If you're new this week, that's fine too, because we're reviewing them right now...<br />
<br />
