The team are taking a little break, so this is our last challenge of the year, but we'll be back with a new one again on 2nd January to welcome you all back after the holidays...

So lets see what our Design Team have made this week....

Yvonne - Hello! This is the final week of Digi Choosday for this year and I guess it is fitting that the Design Team where asked to think of the theme 'Thanks'. So thank you to everyone who comes past each week and takes part in our challenge. For my card this week I used the wonderful 'Winnie Fruit Punch' which you can browse following this link here. I opted to use 'Make a List' - which you can get the single B&W digi stamp here.  I made a 7x7 card using papers from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles - which is available as Paper Heaven 1.  The word art 'Thanks' and the flowers are also from Sugar Sprinkles and are here and here respectively.  Winnie is coloured with Copic Markers, full details on my blog.

Anjie - I have used the Winne White Christmas collection to make this, actually the alphabet from the collection. I printed all the letters out onto glossy paper and fussy cut them all out. I used some simple matting and layering on this to keep it simple and be all about the thank you. I've also used the Polkadoodles Flower Flourish die, and the Polkadoodles Flower 2 die. I've actually made two of these, one for my cuzzie for having us for Christmas, and one for our friends for having us over for New Year.

Julie Reed - For my Thank You make I have folded a 12 x 12 double sided paper to make a frame and used a pre-coloured image and sentiment from the so sweet Winnie Sugar Sprinkles.

Katrina ~ My thank you is for my Father in Law.  The focal point and musical symbols are all from Work & Play 8 Feel the Music.   The background stripes are from Winnie White Christmas.  The sentiment is from Winnie Fruit Punch. 

Julia I have based my Thank you card on the gorgeous January - See the Signs I have coloured her up using my Copic Markers. I stamped up the Sentiment using Elegant Alphabet I then teamed it up with some papers from the Stampin Unicorn, I used Wonerland & Fourni and I added some flowers from the gorgeous Pretty Paper Flowers I also added a few extra details with the Birdhouse Doublet Dies and Elegant Lamplight & Gate and finally I stamped round the edges using Doodle Stitched Borders...

Željka-Hello!!! For this week I used adorable Cutiepie from Lil Miss Sugarpops 1 Download Kit

and made CAS card.

Hester - Thanks everyone. For this week I made this Thanks card from several sheet and paper from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles kit.

Jane S - So this is my 'thank you' card for all our loyal followers that have supported the challenge and the team throughout 2017; we really do appreciate it. I have used the stunning January - Nature Lover and some wonderful Polkadoodles dies...Toadstool Border, Elegant Nests and Elegant Lamplight & Gate. Have a wonderful Christmas everyone and a happy & healthy 2018! xxx

Jane P- This week I used the Lil Sugarpops #2 collection for my "Thank You" card.  Thank you to all my wonderful Team Mates and for you Nikky.

So let’s see what the design team have made for us….

Nancy: For my shaped card I used items from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection. I started with the Dancing Queen digi with the fun frame around it. The frame determined the shape of my card. The background paper is from the kit, and so are the lovely flowers.

Fiki-on my card I use image Wishes and sentiment from Winnie Fruit Punch collection. The paper is from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection.

Jane P.- This week our team made Shaped cards and I decided to use the Lavender Tea Collection and cut out the lovely tea pot to create this weeks card.

Anjie - I used a scalloped circle die from Tattered Lace to create my card shape and then the mats and layers. I have then used a design sheet from the amazing Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection. I told you I loved it and would be using it lots lol I fussy cut everything out and mounted them all onto 3D foam to make them stand out. 

Jacki : For my card I decided to make a twisted easel card simply because I hadn't made one for an age and a half and really had the urge lol. I used papers from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection  I also printed out some little fishes and seahorses and used as embellies.The image I used  is from the Meribelle mermaid collection  which I  fussy cut out and added to some sand paper for added texture.

 Monica.-For my shaped card I used a mix ´n match from different collections. For the shaped card I used the Candy Village templates from Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun. Instead of making it for Christmas, I made it full of gorgeous flowers with papers, embellisments and sentiment from Lavender Tea Collection. And for a final tiny touch, I added the mailman owl from Twiggy & Toots Owls Collection.

Jane S – Go Karter GO!!!! And that’s what I have used on my card this week, the fab GO KARTER that I have duplicated, re-sized and merged to create a race! He is also available as part of the wonderful WORK AND PLAY 2 collection.  Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Tanya -  This week I've made a card using the wonderful embellies and tags and a chalkboard sentiment from the pretty pretty Stamp Soup Magic Garden collection which you can get here as a stamp and CD collection or here as a CD only.  More pictures on my blog

Julie - This week I have visited Wonderland, using a couple of images from the Winnie in Wonderland collection and a gatefold card from the Silhouette Store.  I have coloured with my Copics, check out my blog for a surprise inside!!

Gail - For this weeks challenge, I've made a photo frame style card using the scrummy Winnie in Wonderland collection. The Winnie in Wonderland collection is available on CD-Rom and as instant download.

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

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!!!
