So let's get to today's challenge...

Today the team were challenged to make something Gnome themed this week - let's see what they came up with...! 

Annette (Netty's Cards): For my Wintry Gnome card today I've opted for this Special Wishes Letter Festive Gnome in a frosty blue colour scheme.  I've used the Lily Bug Love paper bundle, and added some glittery snowflakes and a die-cut sentiment.  My image has been watercoloured using Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers.

Rose Hello there, for today's current challenge, I have created a recipe card holder . Using digital image Gnometastic Birthday Cake together with DOWNLOAD Picknix 1...Home Grown Bundle printed digital papers and other embellishment from the bundle. I Created a few individual recipe cards and inserted in the folder .
Maritza:  Hello my crafty friends, I made Ornament I have used a digital image Put Your Boot On of collection  Gnome Festive Fun, digital papers are Eden collection Paper Heaven 3. I painted with colours pencils 
Roberta - Hello friends! Isn't this gnome cute? To make this card I used the Gnometastic Birthday Gift digital stamp that I colored with the Spectrum Noir Classique...
Myriam - A winter card in soft pastel colours? It’s possible and easy to make with the sweet papers from Honeypie Just Lovely. The digital stamp Gnome Festive Fun Snowman is coloured with Prismacolor pencils. Don’t you agree with me that the gnome snowman is such a cutie? I love him!^^ The text is one of many cute sentiments from the Gnome-tastic collection.
Maz - For my winter gnomes theme,  I used Special Wishes Letter from the Gnome Festive Fun Collection. The houses are from Christmas Scene and Holly Blessings Stamp Sets. Trees are from Night Sky Stamp Set. I stamped on to Kraft card and coloured using a white Prismacolor pencil. More details can be found on my blog.

MarzenaMy whole family has birthdays starting in January so I thought it was fitting to make a card with the cute gnomes right away :) I'll be honest and had to do some googling for other wintry colours, and these colour combinations came up. The image featuring Three gnomes from the Gnome-tastic collection are coloured with copics and can go to the next birthday girl to celebrate :D But since it's January, it's still a bit icy and cold, of course. That's why I stamped a few snowflakes from the Winter Flurries Clear Stamp set onto the card. And yes, the path is also very long and goes through the forest. Also from the Winter Flurries set, I stamped the tree a few times on an extra sheet and attached it to the card. For the bottom I cut some design paper  from Winterland Paper heavenAnd from the Winnie Celebrations Sentiment Digi Kit I picked out the Happy Birthday and cut it with the plotter.

Francesca Hello! For this challenge I made a simple card: I stamped the Gnometastic Birthday Gift, I masked it and colored the background with the Distress Oxide recovery patina, I splashed a little black and white, finally i used Copic Ciao to color.  The sentiment is available within Winnie Celebrations Kit 1 Sentiments. 
Wonderful New Inspiration from the team this week!

So let's get to today's challenge...

Today the team were challenged to make a birthday project as it's Nikky's Birthday this week - let's see what they came up with...!

Caroline -  I Created a collaged background and Printed the Ruby Chic image, then coloured with Copics and Fussy cut. I Used a heart from stamp set Hanging Garden-PD8048 to decorate the collaged background and add some with 3d pads to add dimension.

 Candace For today's challenge project, the theme is Birthday, use orange and pink colors, add embellishments and make a slider card.  I used the image Birthday Balloon as my focal image and cut out using Polkadoodles Rectangle Die, then created this slider card using Winnie Celebrations 1 digital papers and sentiment from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Sentiment/Quote Bundle.

Jane  Hello everyone! Well, we are fast approaching Nikky’s birthday, so the team have made cards using her favourite colour combo pink and orange! I have a cheeky slider card to share today featuring REVOLTING KISS from the hilarious OLD BAGS range. To hide the rollers in her hair I gave our ‘lovely lady’ a flowery hat using stamps from the HANGING GARDEN set and put a nice bubbly beverage in her hand from BOTTOMS UP.  The champagne bottle, glass and sentiments are all from the CHEERS LOVELY collection and the background is a mix of two stencils, CELEBRATION and STARRY NIGHTS. Happy Birthday Mrs Doodles!
Madison- Happy Birthday Nikky!!! This weeks theme was orange and pink Birthday card. I love using those colours so this colour scheme is perfect for me. I have used my inks to distress a sheet of white card and made a spinner section for the adorable Llama Hugs, which I think is so versatile and equally cute. He is added on to a penny to make him spin around the card. I have added some flowers die cut from vellum, gems and a simple Happy Birthday sentiment to finish off the card. 

Sam - Firstly...Happy Birthday Nikky, we hope you have a great day!  For my Pink and Orange sliding creation I have mage a magic slider.  I have never made on of these before so it was quite the experiment although happy very with the end result.  I have used the super cute Winnie Cake Time from the Celebrations 2 Collection,  Paper from the Horace and Boo Paper Heaven 3 Pack and Sentiment from the Winnie Celebrations Sentiments 3. I think you should all have a go at making one of these!  Once again Happy Birthday Nikky and to everyone else Happy Crafting.
Kim Stewart - For todays special challenge card I picked Winnie Celebrations 2 Surprise Gift.  The card was created with a hot pink and orange combination which I’m just loving. I used papers from Winnie Celebrations 1 paper pack 1
As well as Winnie Sunshine Delights Paper pack 2, and Winnie Starfish/sandcastles paper pack 2. Finally I embellished Winnie with flowers in pink and orange. I added sparkly glitter glue to Winnie’s sash on her dress and the bows on her shoes as well as the flower in her hair. Have a crafty Week. 🥰
Marina - For this card I decided to bring the spring in January. I used orange and pink for drawing the Sunshine Delight Little Friends  digital stamp and I used from the "Tropical Sorbet" set some butterflies that "they can fly" and some mushrooms. And from the same set I used the wonderful orange paper with white dots for the background.
Parmi - The slider card base has been created from dies in my stash, but could easily be created without any specific dies.  I used the rainbow spotty paper from the Rainbow Paper printable digital download bundle – paper 8 to create the background.  The main image I’ve used is the Ruby birthday cake digi stamp from Polkadoodles which has been coloured with alcohol markers and attached the slider card.  The floral embellishments are created from dies in my stash and coloured pink and orange and the card has been finished with a large happy birthday die which I have stacked on the front to create dimension.  
I also made this Word card which uses the digi stamp called Scruff Cupcake here...
LINH (LVHandcrafted) – For this sweet birthday card, I picked Balloon Days and Flower Bunch from the Winnie Special Moments Collection. These kiddos are such a cute couple. I think it’s adorable how he shyly presents the flowers to the birthday girl. Since the little boy is facing left but I wanted my pull-tab to go to the right, I used a ribbon slider mechanism to do a reverse pull-tab slider. For the pattern paper behind the couple, I used the Lets Hang Out Paper Bundle – one of my favs! Check out my process video to see how I made this card.

So let's get to today's challenge...

Today the team were challenged to make a winter themed project that moves in some way - let's see what they came up with...

 Annette (Netty's Cards):  As the team have been tasked with making a moving element, I've made my whole card work as the moving element by creating a rocker card.  I've used Gnome Festive Fun with Snowman for my image and Eden Collection Paper Heaven 3 papers.  I've used some fancy doily dies for some detail, and a sprinkling of Glamour Dust.  As usual, my image is watercoloured using Ranger Distress Ink Reinkers.

Rose Hello friends, Happy New Year. Hope you are fresh and ready for new challenges
Today I have created a Spinner card using digital image :Frosty Penguins - Octavia Frosted Winter  
Little Birdie - Cute Christmas Penguins - Winnie White Christmas -  Sentiment - Winnie Sunshine Delight Sentiment . Also used Distress  Ink and die cuts . Read more details on my blog. 
Myriam – I have made a card with a surprise wheel. If you “spin” the wheel the following text appears: Hip Hip Hooray It’s your birthday! This text is digitally cut into pieces before I printed the words. It’s a sentiment from the Winnie Celebrations 3 collection. Paper is from Winnie Winterland Paper Heaven 1Winnie Winter Celebration & her Lucky Present Christmas Puppy Dog are coloured with Prismacolor pencils. Visit my blog for more details.

Maz - Happy New Year! For this card I used Winnie - Wrapped Up Warm and coloured using Prismacolor pencils. I attached a small craft magnet behind her, which allowed me to move along the slider I made behind the card. She's having a winter stroll through the trees, which were from an older collection - Octavia Frosted Winter Bundle. The little robins are from Festive Christmas Download Collection. Sentiment is from Winnie White Christmas Big Kahuna Download Kit. All details can be found on my blog.
Maritza: Hello happy new year everyone. I made a card with movement, or interactive. I used a pre-coloured image of Festive Gnomes Polar Bear, and the digital paper is Winnie White Christmas Paper Heaven 1
Roberta: Hello and happy new year everybody!  Here is another nice project, a tag with a swaying doll ....To make it I used the Gingerbread basket Winnie North Pole digital stamp that I colored with Spectrum Noir Classique alcohol markers. The background was created with Distress Ink Sprays and I made the snow effect with white chalk. The colored digital was fixed with a spring to give the moving effect.



MARZENA - I have used the cute snowmen and this image which I coloured with Copics.  I cut these out in a circle on the PC beforehand.  I coloured Scallop Circles with the design paper beforehand and the text comes from this sentiment set.  I used a brad to join the three individual circles together to form a rotating map.
Francesca: Happy New Year Everyone and I hope that your 2022 is fantastic!  For this challenge the DT challenge is to make a winter walk, I chose Waddy Snowkite  and I made a round card with the mini brads to merge the circles. The sentiment is in Winnie Celebrations Kit 1 Sentiments
