So let’s see what the design team have made for us and to give you a little bit of inspiration all the design team’s makes this week are on a back to school theme….

Tanya - So for my make this week I have used the apple from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection which I've enlarged to make a shaped card and then used the sentiment and the books from the same collection to do some decoupage and then used the Dollie Goes East Backpack digi (available as black and white) or on the collection HERE and decoupaged her as well. Apple for the teacher? Well, I think so, don't you? More details on my blog.

Lori - For my make this week, I used the "Thinking of You" image from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection :) She looks deep in thought doesn't she?!

Fiki- this week I use image Make a list from Winnie Fruit Punch collection...

Jacki For my card I have used all elements from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection my card base is a tag that I printed onto card stack a cut out. The whole card is done on one layer the image and embellishments added to the tag before printing. A really easy card to make.

Jane S - So welcome to 'Underwater Academy' where Meribelle Housework is teaching her fishy pupils a little Maths. I have merged the gorgeous Meribelle with the pre-coloured blackboard from Work & Play 3 and added some very attentive aquatic 'kids', sentiment and backing paper from the Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles VIP Bundle. I think Meribelle looks very fetching in her teacher's spectacles that I have added from Sticks & Bones don't you?

Gail - For this weeks make, I had a little experiment creating drips with hot glue!! Think this technique will be effective for Halloween projects too. The canvas uses pre-coloured elements from the Science Bundle, or if want the complete collection you'll find the designs in Work and Play 12, available on CD-Rom or as an instant download.

Jane P.- This week kept me thinking....I have not had children in school for a long time so I decided to use Work & Play Collection 12 Lollipop Lady/Man School Crossing Patrol/Security Guard Bundle.

Monica.- Owls have always been related to wisdom and the seek of knowledge and what can be better for going back to school. For my make I used tunnel card template #5 included in Twiggy & Toots Owls. All the embellishments, even the alpha to make the "back to school" sentiment are also included in this adorable collection.

Julie - This week I have made a card to wish my Son luck as he enters year 2 - He will be in PINK class. He loves Maths and Science so I used the cute Science Geek. Image coloured with Copics.

Anjie -  This started out life as a plain Kraft chipboard. I used my go to collection for this make which of course is the fabulous Picknix 1 collection. You can also get this on CD should you wish HERE. Or in separate smaller collections HERE.  You can find more details of how I made this week's challenge on my blog together with more photos.

Nancy: For my card this week, I used a combination of products. From the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection, I used the Make a List Winnie image, the chalkboard tag, and the book stack. The background paper is from the Winston Collection.

Great makes from the DT and I’m sure you will agree that we have some great ideas for you this week!  Add your entry using the linky tool below....

So let’s see what the design team have made for us and to give you a little bit of inspiration all the design team have used something new to them….

Jane P.-Just loving this Summertime Collection.  I used the Serif Craft Artist app to create my card this week and printed it out on Ultimate Graphic Paper from the Polkadoodles store

Gail - For this weeks challenge, I've created an art journal page using the sunglasses from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles VIP collection, available as an instant download or on CD-ROM. I've also used stamps from the following stamp sets to add interest to the background - Lemonade Fizz, Lavender Tea & Magic Garden, full details over on my blog.

Fiki-on my card I use image Winnie and sentiment from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection.

Anjie - I have used the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection (again). This is made using design sheet number 7 which you can buy on its own HERE. The "Something New" I have used is the postcard stamp which is from Wish You Were Here stamp set. More info and photos on my blog.

Julie - This week I have used the lovely Stamp Me - Summertime stamps and a cheap circle frame that I have covered in bling.

Lori - This week, I am using this cutie-patootie from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime collection :) My "something new" part of my make is the background design papers - which you can find in this collection as well! Happy crafting!

Jane S – All the pre-coloured elements I have used for my DL card are from the stunningly pretty LEMONADE FIZZ COLLECTION which has the most delicious colour palette.  I have used some new dies too.  Well never been used anyway! Oops! Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Monica.- Just by the end of Summer, I chose to use Summer time, a cd I have never used before. This cd is also available as a digital download. Air balloon, clouds, papers and sentimente, all were taken from this cd.

Jacki for my card I have use the Winnie in Wonderland download collection both images have not been used before and the style of card is new(ish)to me. The paper I used is from the same collection and I added sentiments,a large fussy bow with button a pearls to finish.

Nancy - For my card this week I have used Design Sheet 5 from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.

My "Use Something New" is a brand new cutting machine!

Tanya - For this week's make I've used one of the newer collections called Summertime CD which you can get here and I've created a card using some of the flowers which I resized in Craft Artist in three sizes and then cut out and layered them over one another.  The papers are also from the collection, as is the sentiment, which had been black and white chalkboard effect but I recoloured it to co-ordinate with the papers used.

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

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
