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

Julie - I am not usually one to use multiple papers, so I decided to find a layout sketch for my card to help me and I am really pleased with the outcome. I have used Dandelion Days from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection coloured with Copics.

Nancy: For my card I used items from the Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles Collection.

I used the pre-coloured crab, the fun sentiment, and two papers! 

Isn't that fella cute?

Jacki : for my card I have made my usual 8x8 card with papers from the Winnie starfish and sandcastles collection I distressed and inked the edges with distress inks.  The image is from the Meribelle digi collection which I have coloured with polychromos, luminace and pablo pencils then I added the cutie creatures again from the Starfish and sandcastles collection.  I then made a couple of strips of washi from the papers too and added to the image

Monica.- The beauty of Lemonade Fizz Collection papers was just perfect for this challenge. The 

butterflies, rolled flowers and sentiment are also from that collection.

Fiki-on my card I use image Dancing queen and sentiment  from Winnie Fruit Punch Collection. Papers are from Starfish/Sandcastles collection.

Jane P. - This week I used elements and papers from the Winnie in Wonderland Big Kahuna CD.   Three different papers on the base card and a background paper from the Designer sheet collection.  I colored the Queen of Hearts with Copics.

Anjie - I used an image and some papers from the fabulous Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection, and the sign post and beach ball stamps from the Oceania clear stamp set. I printed the palm trees onto watercolour card and coloured them with my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolour paints. I then stamped the sign post onto two of the distressed wood papers and made a wooden effect sign post. I then stamped the ball onto different papers and paper pieced it to create a coloured ball.

Tanya - So I thought I'd make a start on my Christmas cards and so have used the wonderful Picknix 3 Nordic Winter Collection, just because I adore the vintage looking Father Christmas on the collection.  I've made a one layer card and then printed out some of the elements from the collection to add some dimension.  The inside is decorated too. More details on my blog.

Jane S – Hello! This week I have used some of the delicious papers from the DOLLIE DAYDREAM GOES EAST BUNDLE (one of my all-time faves) and scored and folded them to make some fans. I have also used one of the many gorgeous ladies that can be found in this collection too.  If you would like to purchase her individually she is available HERE. Have a lovely crafty day! xxx

Gail - For this weeks challenge, I've used the delicious Winnie in Wonderland collection. Just love the colours Nikky used for this collection, Winnie in Wonderland is available as an instant download or on CD-ROM.

 Romina, It´s time a new challenge so I've made my card using the Dancing Queen digi,you can find here. She is so pretty.  I have coloured her with alcohol markers. This collection is amazing.  I've made by own background.  It was so much fun to create it.

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

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

Julie - Today, I'm showcasing the new Sticks & Bones collection, (CD) , Digital Download) and showing how I use dies to make a card base.  Gather supplies, choose papers, dies, sentiment, card base:

Fold card base in 2 (fold is on the left in the picture below) overlap folded edge slightly with die, and run everything through a die cutting machine.  Assemble the layers, embellish as desired.  There are more pictures and instructions on my blog. 

Tanya  Hello there.  What a great week to make something love related especially with the release of the Lily Bug Love Collection last week.  I've gone for something different for me this week and made a digi scrapbook page.  I've been wanting to get back into scrapbooking for a while now, but whereas years ago when I used to cut things up and use original photos and put them in a book, this whole digi way of scrapbooking is new to me.  I've used a photo of my mum and dad which I've changed to black and white and embellished with papers, leaves and flowers and a sentiment all from the full Lily Bug Love collection available here on download or here on CD. More details can be found on my blog.

Anjie - I have used the fabulous Sticks and Stones download collection to make this, which you can find HERE. Or in the CD format HERE. And of course you can buy all the images and other stuff separately. The cute image is HERE. I have printed one of the backing papers straight onto my card stock to make the stepper card. I then coloured the image in with my pens and fussy cut her out. I used lots and lots of pre-coloured animals and embellies and sat and fussy cut them as well. And finally I cut around some of the sentiments. I added them all onto the card with 3D foam to make them stand out more.

Fiona - I have used the fantastic Work and play 9 Love and Kisses cd for my All you need is love make, Its a fantastic cd great for all those wedding and valentine makes.  The image is called True Love the papers I used and the digital stamp are available on the cd. The flowers were created using a punch I have from the papers on the cd.

Jane – Hello! I just can’t get enough of the gorgeous new LILY BUG LOVE collection so that is what I have used to make my card again this week!  The image is the super cute LILY BUG LOVE SENDING LOVE (and she is!) who comes part of the collection but you can also purchase individually if you wish! Have a happy crafty day! xxx

Helen -  I've used elements from the new Lily Bug Love collection too - you can find it as a CD here and a download here.  I've used a pre-coloured digi, papers and a sentiment layered with black card.

Gail - I decided to use the very elegant Eden Collection available on CD Rom here or as a digital download here.  All the elements on this card from the Eden collection, including the sentiment, except for a little faux stitching with a fine liner pen. 

Monica- I`m enjoying going back to my favorite craft stuff and for this challenge I made a 3d hot air balloon, of course using papers, embellisments, sentiment and an adorable digi from Lily Bug Love.

Aunty Sue - Well with a Love in the challenge it just had to be our Little Love BUG - LILY BUG didnt it. I have used Lily Love Big Heart digital image available here. A sentiment from the download added to the heart and the papers are from Set 3 available here. Added a frame which you can get here. But you know if your getting them you will have to have the full CD/ Download available here. 

Audrey, who loves to color images with scenery chose Eden Window this time.  She can also be found in the Eden Collection Big Kahuna Download Bundle.  All the papers, embellies and bows I used are from Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses Download Collection.  I love all the Polkadoodles download collections because each time I explore them, I find something new!  This time I found the design sheets in the Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses Download Collection - they are sheets with all the elements needed to complete a card.  I used the border from one of the design sheets as well as the cut out hearts for my card.  I additionally used one of the ribbons, which I put a wooden heart on top - wooden heart colored with my air brush using Copic marker.  Finally, I cut one of the hearts and one for the flowers out of the design papers from Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses Download Collection for additional embellies and added Stickles to the flower.

Great makes from the DT again this week, wowee!
