Nancy - For my card this week I have used the pre-coloured image, tag, and paper from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection. For the leaves, I printed out two papers from the Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles Collection. I cut them out using a cutting file from the same collection.
Fiki-this week I use on my card image "Dandelion days"  from Winnie Fruit Punch collection.
I emboss paper and ink it to get this nice background.
Jacki For my card I have used papers and Digi and sentiment from the Winston Collection  I distressed the edges of my papers and inked. I have colored my image with Pablo pencils and added a large orange button with hemp fibers.
Tanya - For this week's make I have used one of the coloring pages from the Colour Therapy 2 Collection ' We Are Family' and colored the tree with glorious colors from my Gansai Tambi paints and flitters of gold glitter gel pen and matted onto papers from the Winston Deluxe Collection.  More pictures on my blog.
Lori My make this week is made using "Ranger" from the Work and Play 10 Series! I colored him using Copic Markers and cut him out with a stitched rectangle die. I used 2 different background papers from the collection, cut them corner to corner, punched some leaves from papers that are fall inspired colors, printed out the Happy Birthday sentiment from the collection and popped that up with foam tape....added some pearls and done! More details on my blog.
Monica.-Autumn colours are my favorite colour palette. For this week make, I used two different collections: digi, papers and sentiment are from Work & Play 10.-Country Life;  trees, leaves and sunflowers are from Autumn/Fall Digi Stamps Bundle.
Jane P.- Autumn is such a wonderful time of the year and this week I chose some of the colors of Autumn using Daisy Days Stamps and CD Collection.  I am so in love with this collection!
Anjie - I've used the two butterfly stamps from the Absolute Vintage Stamp set. Lots more info on my blog.
Gail - My make this week uses a gorgeous image from the Little Kingdom collection, using one of my go to colour combos yellow, orange and red. I've used an image transfer technique to get the image onto my mixed media background, more details over on my blog.

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

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....

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.
AnjieI 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!
