Lynda: For my 'something new' I decided to use the latest collection, Frosted Winter. it's totally gorgeous!! It's available on CD or as a instant download. The papers I used, the sentiment and the gingerbread man are just the tip of the iceberg of what you get in this bundle. Have Fun xx



Scatty Jan how much fun did I have making my sleigh. I used The Frosted Winter collection - I used the pre coloured sleigh to start and cut several times so it would be sturdy. And then made a center piece to join them together (this was the hardest bit as I kept cutting the wrong size) I decorated the sleigh with flowers, sprigs ,garland robin , presents etc all from the collection and adding some glitter here and there. I used pre coloured Octavia Frosted Fox, also available as a B/W digi here. I added the pre coloured deers (also available as a B/W digi here) adding some red sparkles to one nose . Finished off adding some sweeties to the sleigh which I stuck tiny presents too



Jane – Hi everyone!  My something new is, like the other ladies, the fab new OCTAVIA FROSTED WINTER bundle and my wreath is made from the gorgeous pre-coloured baubles and foliage that can be found in this collection.  My other new item is the tiny lilac bows that I just HAD to treat myself to!! J Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Emma - For my Something New I have made a stepper card & for me this is a very new sort of card for me. I have used Octavia Frosted Spines & Octavia Wandering Star who can be found as individual digi's Here & Here. I have coloured both up using Copic's & I have used some of the new pens that I have recently bought. All of the papers & embellishments are from the New Frosted Winter Collection Here where you can also find both of the images I have used along with the Polar Bear.

Front
Inside


Julie -- New, new, and new!  Lots of "new" for me today.  Isn't new grand?!?  I'm using papers and an image from the newly released Autumn/Halloween collections at Polkadoodles.  The image is from the Autumn/Fall 2015 digi download bundle (mono).  The colored version is available here.  The papers are all from the Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 1 & 2 Digital Downloads.  The sentiment is from the Twiggy and Toots Digital Download or CD Rom Paper Crafting Collection.  I'm also using newly purchased dies, and NEW Lyra Rembrandt  Polycolor Pencils.

Anjie - I have used the new Spooky Dracula image and sentiments. I have coloured the image and background with my Graph'It Markers. I have put the image in a new picture frame I picked up last week. We are having a Halloween party at our house this year so this will go on the wall as part of the decorations.

Monica- For my carousel card, I used a new collection Picknix 3 Nordic Winter, all papers, digis and words and swirls cutting files I used are from that collection. I also used a new laminator machine and a technique: foiling digis. I love how this foiling digis turn out.




I’m back into the swing of crafting and creating since my holiday and this week have been playing with the ever so brand new Spooky Sentiments Bundle and the Halloween/Autumn Paper Heaven 1 Bundle  to make this week's card on a Halloween grungy theme.  Full details on my blog.


Audrey used a number of NEW items this time around.  First of all, my image Oddella Bow is new for me as I just got this image.  I colored her with my brand new pencils - not only have I not used these pencils before, I have never colored a full image with pencils before, so this was very new to me.  Finally, I made a new variation of a fold I have used in the past by altering the shape of the cut out in the middle.  Additional items used on my card are hearts from the Winston Deluxe Full Collection and the mushroom embellie is from Twiggy and Toots Digital Papercraft Collection and can also be found in the Twiggy and Toots Embellies Bundle.    Finally, my papers are from the girls papers found in the Work and Play 11 Digital Collection.


Aunty SueWell what else could I show you other than the amazing new CD Octivia Frosted Winter. How ever my new thing is the technique Altering this frame. I have used Chalk paint doing several layers and then rubbing Copper Gliding Wax on the raised edges to give a old feel. This was a very cheap white plastic frame. All this is to enhance this wonderful scene that I printed from the CD which you can purchase from the store HERE called Ice Queen & Unicorn. 

Wendy - For my pumpkin shaped card, I've used a pumpkin from the NEW Autumn 2015 collection, the image is the NEW Spooky Dracula and the small pumpkins and the sentiment are from the NEW 2015 Spooky Sentiments bundle.

Great makes from the DT I’m sure you will agree.

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

Scatty Jan I used the lovely Eden collection this time , colouring up the stunning Eden Blossoms I used my Lyra Rembrandt Polycolour Pencils. You can also get Eden Blossoms as a single digi here. The flowers, sentiment an adorable matching papers are all from the collection and also the lovely paper ribbon which I popped into Craft Artist and simply coloured it to match.

Lynda:   I just love Picknix 3: Nordic Winter Collection,so that's what I chose to use for this weeks challenge. The whole collections is available on a CD or as a digital download.  The papers,digi stamp and embellishments are all from this collection. Have Fun xx 




AnjieI have used real ribbon and faux ribbon to fit in with the theme.
The image, papers, embellies and sentiment are all from the fabulous new Octavia Frosted Winter collection. This is available as a download collection HERE, as a CD HERE, or in separate items HERE. I have coloured her with my Graph'It Markers. The background is also done with Graph'Its and a the Graph'It blender pen and the Graph'It white shaker pen.

Julie -- ribbon and lace -- two of my favorite embellishments!  I used the Work & Play 5, Festive Hollybobs Digital Craft Download collection.  You can get the Presents image individually here.  The papers and sentiment are from the same collection.  She is colored with Copic markers, and ready to wrap those Christmas presents.  Now, if only I was as organized!

Jane – Hi everyone!  My rocker card is for my brother’s wedding anniversary and I used the fabulous image, embellies and paper that are all part of the wonderful WINSTON DELUXE FULL COLLECTION.  The sentiment is from the WORK AND PLAY 9 – LOVE AND KISSES DOWNLOAD BUNDLE and I used my lush new Lyra Rembrandt Polycolor Pencils to colour. Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Emma - For my Ribbon & Lace card I have stuck with Christmas as I really need to get these Christmas cards done this year. I have used one of the chalkboard sentiments from the Frosted Winter Collection as the main focus so no image from me today. All of the papers & embellishments are also from the Frosted Winter Collection that can be found Here


Monica.-For this challenge, I´m working with papers and rolled roses from Rose Budd Craft Download Collection. When I started making my card, I was going to add a hand coloured digi and rolled roses on a side. But then I rolled the roses and they were so gorgeous, that I chose to make them the focal point on my card. To achieve challenge requeriments, I used a slot ribbon border and added a piece of a beautiful and quirky brown lace under the roses.


Tanya
Hello folks.  I'm fresh back from my holidays and although I've blogged while I've been absent and joined in the challenges it's good to get back into the swing of things with lovely ribbon and lace.  I've made a card using one of the design sheets from the Work & Play Music 8 Collection and just added some lace to the card and a touch of ink around the edges of the background.  The design sheets show just how versatile they are and what can be done with them.


Audrey created an altered notebook this time around using a technique called Faux Mosaic.  I chose an image and sentiment, as well as some papers from Serenity Fairy Wishes Bundle.  Image Serenity Blossom can also be purchased as a single digi HERE and you may also purchase all the sentiments in the Serenity Fairy Wishes Sentimentals Bundle.    The other papers used are from the Winston Deluxe Full Collection and the butterfly embellies are from Twiggy and Toots Digital Papercraft Collection and can also be found in the Twiggy and Toots Embellies Bundle.  Image and sentiment are cut with dies, I added an acetate piece over the sentiment, printed the same as the piece underneath, so that it makes it stand out more against the background.  I added ribbon and lace from my stash on the spiral binding.


Wendy - I've used Constance from the Rose Budd Collection this week. The backing paper is from the same collection, as are all the embellies, including the mini manuscript, which come on one single printable design sheet.

Aunty SueWell for my card this week I decided that as Strictly Come Dancing is starting on Friday. Toots should enter. So I have used Dancing Queen from the original Twigg & Toots available as a digi image here or you can buy the full download/ cd coloured with my Lyra Rembandt Polycolor Pencils. I have also used one of the many fab papers from the CD too. The sentiment is from another CD Serenity Fairy Wishes. I have used lots of glitter , gems as a dancing queen needs some sparkle.
Great makes from the DT I’m sure you will agree.

Scatty Jan Ohhh I just loves a bit of Pink - This week I used the lovely Tea-Pot template to make my card, Suitable card shape for many occasions I think, you can find it in the store here . The image I used is one from the Serenity collection - You can also buy her as an individual digi, she is called Serenity Fairy Cake and you can find her here. I have used coloured pencils to colour and added some lace, beads and a flower to finish

Wendy - For this weeks challenge, I'm actually on my holidays, so what better image to use than the girl Swimmer form Work & Play 4, you can buy her as an individual digi here. I've used a sentiment form the same collection and the two papers are from Work & Play 3.....

Julie - PINK! It's not my favorite color, so I mixed in some coordinating shades.  It's still pretty in pink though, don't you think?  The image, the papers and the sentiment are all from the Rose Budd Craft Download Collection. You can find Rose Budd as a clear stamp here.  She is colored with Copic markers.....
Tanya....I’ve been colouring yet again and just adore the pink range of Graph It pens and so using the Drummer Girl from Work & Play Feel The Music collection I’ve coloured her up and using three of the papers from the collection and the music clef and the word ‘MUSIC’ I’ve made this week’s card.  The collection can be bought as a CD and a download and the drummer girl can be bought as a single black and white digi too.

Lynda: This week I got to use my favourite colour yay!! I decided to base my card on an digi stamp I found in the Picknix 1: Home Grown which is available as a download here. The papers and gorgeous embellishments I used are also from this collection. You can also buy it on a CD  Have Fun.
Aunty Sue - Oooh if your a girlie girl you just got to love Pink. For my card I went CAS just matting my image with Pearl card stock. I have used Oddella Bow - Inkyink Art available to download hereThe sentiment is from the Twiggy & Toots download  here.  Image coloured with promarkers and spectrums and a few pencils. Just edges the side with a punch , a few gems and some faux stitching. I think CAS really shows off this character as I cant see her being Fussy can you!
Monica.-Scrapbook is my first love in paper crafting. This week I chose to make a scrapbook page about Jimena, my niece, our family football fan and player. To make this I use the footballer girl, sentiment and papers included in Work & Play 6 Collection.

Audrey had lots of fun with many different digital elements this week.  I inadvertently made another card with a detachable bookmark - this time you just remove the brad at the top.  For my image, I used GIMP editing program to combine Amelia Braids digi with Luna digi and Fence digi, which I got from Twiggy and Toots Owl Digital Collection, but it can also be purchased as a single image HERE.  I colored the image with Copics.  I added Digital Papers from Work and Play 3 Digital Collection - the Stars and Birds/Flowers papers are in the Girls Cowboy papers in this collection.  The diamond designer digi paper is from Work and Play 1 Digital Collection under Female DIY papers.  I chose the sentiment, which I think is perfect for the image, from Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses Collection.  Sure hope you like it!!
Jane – Hi everyone!  I do love pink especially teamed with black so that is what I have used on my project this week.  I coloured up the beautiful ODDELLA HEART  who is part of the awesome ICKYINK ART COLLECTION where there are 5 gorgeous ladies to collect.  I also used one of the girly papers and a sentiment from WORKAND PLAY 9 and one of the papers from WORKAND PLAY 10.  Have a lovely crafty day! xxx
Emma - For my In the Pink card i have used the gorgeous Luna who can be found here. Pink isn't one of my fav colours as I was never a girly girl growing up, more into dungarees & getting muddy.  Both of the papers I have used are from the baby boom collection that can be found here
Great makes from the DT I’m sure you will agree....

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

Aunty Sue - As soon as I saw the challenge I knew I had to use this fabulous Cow digital image. Available from the shop here along with the Black and white papers from Octavia Moonfly available here Image coloured with promarkers and edges of papers distressed.

Anjie - I have used the rather cute Wesley Rabbit image who you can find HERE. Or he is also available as part of the fabulous Cherryblossom Lane CD, which is where the papers I have used are from. I have coloured Wesley with my Prisma Pencils and added some buttons.

Scatty Jan Oh my days - an animal challenge just after the wonderful Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun release - Just knew immidiatly what I wanted to use. I started of using the owl bag template , I reduced the actual size to 65% it still made for a great size, and for those without a cutting machine I cut them by hand to see how easy they were, and they were great it was good to use scissors for a change. I started by making the Hen night Bride to be I called her Olga , all her papers and bits are from the Love and Kisses collection - I simply added some Lace for her dress and some netting for her veil and lots of diamond stickles . I loved her so much I went on to make her husband to be calling him Oswald again all the elements from Love and Kisses collection including his moustache!
(He also borrowed Santa's boots from Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun  ssshhhh). The papers I used on Oswald are from Octavia collection

Lynda:  Being a massive animal lover this challenge is perfect for me... I love these little mice!! I used a new digi called Cinders, she has some gorgeous fairy tale friends so check them out too. The sentiment and papers are from the Serenity Collection which is available on CD.  or as a digital download.

Jane – Hi everyone! A couple of weeks ago our lovely Scatty Jan used non-Christmas images to create some amazing Christmas tags that you can see here!  Incredible!! So being inspired by this, and to show the versatility of Nikky's awesome images, I decided to use OCTAVIA MOONFLY UNICORN to create a non-traditional Christmas card! The papers, sleigh and sentiment are all from the FESTIVE HOLLYBOBS COLLECTION and I made OCTAVIA into Santa’s Little Helper!! Either that or she is stealing all the pressies!!! Have a lovely crafty day! xxx J

Monica.-I´m in love with "Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun"!! I love owls, cookies and Christmas, so this can´t be any better. In my project I wanted to showcase those three elements. All the pattern papers, embellishments, letters to make the sentiment, digital stamp and cutting files for the cookies are included in this collection.

Tanya...Hello everybody.  I love all animals and this week have been playing with the template called Two By Two available on the Paper BoutiqueVolume 3 CD which I’ve mixed up with the cloud paper from the Octavia Moonfly bundle and a sentiment from the Baby Boom collection to make a cute baby card.

Yvonne - I used Octavia Best Friends image which you can get as a digi stamp.  I haven't coloured her before so this was new for me and I coloured her with my pencils. I made a simple 6x6 card using Polkadoodles papers.  The sentiment is from the Serenity Collection which you can get as a digi download or as a CD-Rom.
Wendy - I love these cute bees and anything with a toadstool for me is a must, so I chose this image from the Sugarplum Daisy CD. THe backing paper is from the same collection. The sentiment I chose fits perfectly and I love the chalkboard effect of it, you can find it s part of the Work & Play 10 - Country Life collection.
Emma - For my Animals project i have used the super cute Unicorn from the Octavia Moonfly collection. I have coloured her up using pencils & have added some sparkle to make her look more magical. All of the papers, embellishments & sentiment come from the Moonfly collection that can be found Here or on CD Here
