So let’s see what the design team have made for us - the team had to all use some kind of punch/die-cut on their makes….

Jane S – Hello! Oooh the new mermaids that Nikky had created are totally GORGEOUS and I have used MERIBELLE SWISHY TAIL for my card today, putting her inside the DRINK ME BOTTLE  from the WINNIE IN WONDERLAND COLLECTION . The other elements I’ve used can be found on the WINNIE STARFISH AND SANDCASTLES VIP BUNDLE that matches so perfectly with these stunning fishy ladies!!  Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Tanya - So like Jane, I have used the Meribelle collection and the digi called Meribelle Friends which can be bought as a 3 for 2 package right HERE and the Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles collection to make my shaker card. The die cut I have used is the little seagull on top of the sentiment and the lighthouse. Hope you like it.  Full details on my blog together with another little surprise too. 

Anjie - On this card I have used a flower from the Tropical Paradise Flamingo clear stamp set. I have stamped them out 3 times, coloured them with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints. I cut some fancy edge circle mats and layers using an essential Tattered Lace die set. I then layered the flowers up using 3D foam pads to give them some dimension. More details and photos on my blog.

Fiki- for this week challenge I use image Winnie from Starfish/Sandcastles collection.

I use ink tool to make blue background. I fussy cut this cute crab and put him on the card.

Jacki I had so much fun making this card I used papers and image from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection available HERE.  I used for you Winnie and coloured her with Prisma and Derwent colour soft pencils Then made the flowers using various dies and punches on watercolour paper which I coloured with distress inks, to finish off I added a large fussy bow

Nancy: For my card I used the wonderful Winnie Fruit Punch collection. I coloured the sweet Winnie digi called Dandelion Day with Spectrum Noir Markers. The lovely striped paper, and the sentiment, are also from the kit! I added some decorative die-cuts, and punched a border along the side of the mat behind the image.

Monica.-I´m in my Christmas in July mood (I love Christmas and any excuse is good enough to start Christmas crafting).  For my card I used Nativity, angels and snowflake doily cutting files from Picknix 2.-Gingerbread Twist (did you know that 35 beautiful cutting files are included in that collection). Papers and sentiment are also from Gingerbread Twist; flourishes cutting files are from Eden Collection (this collection includes 15 cutting files).

Julie - I am currently in Sunny Zante, before we left I made this little wall hanging for my Son using Rocco swimming with Sharks, hopefully he won't encounter one of these in the Sea.  My image is coloured with Copics.

Jane P.- For this week I used a Sizziz die I have been wanting to use for my shaped card.  I used Winnie in Wonderland CD collection design sheet to decorate.

Lori - boy, did I have a ton of fun creating this card using the Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles design sheets, embellies and papers from the complete digital downloadable collection....it's so awesome that everything you need to make a beautiful card is all one one sheet - at your fingertips! xoxoxo

Romina, Hi There! I'm so excited to be here again! I used the Enjoy Life Digi, you can find here:

So, I've make a tag using a die. I've colored with alcohol markers and added some detail to make my tag more adorable!!!

Gail - For this weeks challenge I've made an art journal page using the light bulb from the Science bundle kit. Or if you want the full collection you'll find it in the Work and Play 12 collection, available on CD-ROM or instant download.

Great makes from the DT and I’m sure you will agree that we have some great ideas for you this week!

Lori - My card this week includes Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime image and design sheets from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles download collection - what a fun collection for our theme this week! I cut out the main image, butterfly, sentiment and flowers then popped some up with dimensional foam dots for depth and added pearls to the corners and flower centers.

Jacki - For my card I have used papers from the Winston collection and even made a paper by using flowers from the embellishment section over one of the existing papers. The Image is Winnie walking the dog from the new Starfish and Sandcastle download   which I have coloured with polychromo and derwent coloursoft pencil. The sentiment is also from the Winston collection, flowers & ribbon from my stash.

Jane S – Hello! “Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your green hair”! Not too sure that’s quite right but anyway this gorgeous RAPUNZEL image from Nikky is one of four stunning Fairytale princesses that you can find HERE. I have them all obviously! J Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Anjie - I'm in a CAS mood still so my card today is very simple and I've used the ever so pretty Lemonade Fizz Collection. I printed the heart shaped petals and the leaves out a few times and used some distress inks to colour them. I then used some left over bits of paper from the same collection to make some pendents and mounted them onto a pearlescent card stock. I used one of the little stamps from the Lemonade Fizz stamp set to add a few little highlights on the white background and added some faux stitching and some twine. Finally I arranged things as I wanted them and glued everything  in place. And here is my make.

Jane P.- Summer is in full swing here in PA. and the flowers are taking a real beating in the heat, so it was refreshing being able to create a card using the Summertime Stamp Me Clear & CD Rom

Julie - At last some Sunshine, it's lovely seeing all my Garden in Bloom,  todays card is very simple and created using the fab Daisy Days Stamps and some spray inks in Turquoise and Green, creating my paper 'Garden in Bloom'.

Monica-For this challenge I made a tropical garden: lush, full of green leaves and strong colours flowers. Everything in my card is from Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles.

Tanya -  So I've been continuing with my holiday scrapbook pages and so this week's challenge of Flowers gave me a great opportunity to use some of the photos I took of the church in Monaco and the surrounding gardens.  I've used the lovely flowers and papers from the Magic Garden CD which you can get here.  More pictures and details on my blog. 

Fiki - For this week's make I have used the digi called Etty Shy from Winston Collection
I don't have cuttng machine so I have cut all the embellishments with scissors.  More details can be found on my blog.

Nancy - I decorated my pre-made box using the wonderful Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.

I fussy cut all the flowers from two of the full flower pages found in the florals file.

I also used four of the papers to decorate the inside and outside of the box. 

Gail - For this weeks challenge, I've made a little decorative hanging with a chipboard heart. I used one of the gorgeous papers from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection, available on CD-ROM or as an instant download, together with the brand new stamp Tropical Flowers 1.

Romina - For my card I have used "Dandelion Days" which you can find HERE  
I used a stencil to create some petals in the corner with distress ink. For my coloring I used alcohol markers, I don't know why but I want to used green on her hair... I love the result!
