The winner and top 3 for week four can be found at the bottom of this post.

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

Nikki - Springtime has been here in my hometown for awhile, in fact, we never saw winter at all. I don't remember that ever happening in the 30+ years I have lived here..... I loved this challenge because of the soft colours we could use. I chose Bella on The Swing. I also used papers from the Work and Play Collection 1 and Baby Boom. The sentiment is from the Work and Play Collection 8. I added some pearls as well. Visit my blog for all the details...

Scatty Jan I have used the lovely collection Pretty Sweet - It contains lots of lushness including some lovely digi girls , the sentiment is also from there. I have used Amelia with Basket and she is available as a digi on her own you can find her here. I coloured her up using Graph'It Markers, and added some dots using the Graph'It shaker marker The Lovely hearts paper and bow are both found on the Love and kisses CD - Finished of with some bling and some petal pink liquid pearls.

Caz  For my card i have used the lovely digi image Octavia Friendly Hugs..Papers are from the Baby Boom collection...Flowers from the Winston collection available as a CD or as a Download...I don't really do much in pastels, but enjoyed making this..

Anjie - I have used the beautiful Octavia Dragonfly image. The papers, flowers, buttons, ribbon, pendant and sentiment are all from the Octavia Moonfly download collection. You can also buy this as a CD. You can buy all the elements in smaller collections as well here.

Crafting Vicky I seem to be stuck in pink mode :)  What can I say, when I think pastels that's the 1st color that pops into my mind.   I just had to use the same cuddly set as last week but this time around I chose Etty Shy.  My precolored image and the great paper comes from Winston Deluxe collection but if you want the black and white version of this image you can find it here.

Monica.-Pastels are perfect for creating a calming ambience, as well as music. For my project I mix both. For my papers choice I chose the lovely pastel papers from Baby Boom collection and to fill my card with music, I chose the opera singer girl, the piano girl and the violin girl, all form Work and Play 8 collection. The music notes are from cutting files included in the same collection.

Kate - I chose the oh so sophisticated Dollie Daydream Glitz and decided to have my first attempt at a no-lines image (I did this by taking the image into Word & lightening the image before printing)

I coloured with my Pro Markers, as usual, and added Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen to her eye shadow, lips, shoes and gorgeous feather

Wendy - For this weeks card, I've used items from Work & Play 9 'Love & Kisses'. The backing paper, flowers and letter tiles are also from this collection, as is the pre-coloured image, which is also available on her own as a digi stamp, Love and Kisses, for you to colour.

Jane – Hi everyone!  So spring is in the air, well not quite, but it won’t be long so my make this week hopefully reflects the coming season! I decided to decorate a gift bag as I haven’t done one of these for a while! The stunning image is Libby Carefree which you can get separately but she is also available on the Fredericka CD Collection.  I used one of the papers from the uber gorgeous Winston Full Collection (such scrummy colours), cutting out some of the butterflies to 3D.  Enjoy your day! xxx

Tanya...It’ll soon be spring and I’m so looking forward to lighter days and fresher air and maybe a little warmth.  I absolutely adore butterflies and had these five MDF butterfly shapes in my stash ready to make a home décor project.  I've used papers and sentiments from the Octavia Moonfly collection which you can get HERE and have punched teeny tiny flower shapes from papers on the collection to adorn the butterflies.  More pictures and details can be found on my blog. 

Lynda: I used the gorgeous Rose Bud Collection for this weeks challenge, I used a pre-coloured digi called Miss Rose Budd and layered her up with elements from the same collection to make a little scene, I added a sentiment, flowers and bows from the same collection (more details on my blog) This collection is available as a digital download here or on a cd here.  Have Fun Lynda xx

Yvonne - Hi there! Well this week I opted for an Octavia image from the new collection 'Octavia Moonfly', which you can get in a range of digi download bundles, see your options here, or as a CD-Rom. I used the precoloured image 'Rose Garden' with papers from the 'Rose Budd Collection'.  The flowers and embellies are from the Octavia Moonfly collection also. All I added of my own is the ribbon and the gems.

Great makes from everyone I’m sure you will agree.

It is available as a single download or in the newly released Work and Play Collection 9. The designer paper with little x's and o's is also from the same CD. I am telling you, this CD is so awesome..... especially for weddings, anniversaries, and save the dates!

Jane – Hi everyone! So it’s the season of luuurve and I have chosen to make an anniversary card! The image, papers and sentiment are from the gorgeous Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses collection but you can buy the image, True Love/Best Friends, separately if you wish.

The beauty of stamps is that you can colour them to match the recipients and I have coloured this cute couple to represent my brother and his wife! Hope they recognise themselves!  So pop into the shop  where you can find tons of other gorgeous goodies to swoon over!  Enjoy your day! xxx

Crafting Vicky This challenge just had me want to cuddle.  And what better way to cuddle than with a gorgeous furry friend!  So I just had to use the fabulous Winston Deluxe full edition.  The papers and the colored version of mailbox bear can be found there.  You can also purchase the black and white version here if you prefer.

Added a trim to side of card and her hat , a couple of card candi and a sprinkling of glamour dust.

Crafting Vicky I really love playing with pink so this was not an issue at all.... well beside deciding which digis and papers to use!!!  My world, so many fabulous options.  I finally went for the great Work and Play 2 collection, the papers and the image are from that set and it's such a great deal!  But you can also find just the image called Florist here.

Monica.-For my pink project, I made a sexy corset gift bag for a bachelorette party with pink papers and the super sexy "Wedding Night" digi from Work & Play 9.-Love and Kisses Collection.

The gorgeous girl in the centre is Miss Rose, available on her own or again as part of the collection, where you also get an fab assortment of sentiments, including the one I've used.

Yvonne - This week I HAD to use the new Octavia Moonfly Collection - it's far too gorgeous not to. Now you can get it as a complete CD Rom Collection - or you can can get it as a complete Digi Download OR and this is exciting, you can now get it in bundles and pick and choose!!!
