Ruth: I've kept mine quite simple and used Promarkers to colour the fab image from Emma, glitter glue, fancy dies and papers from Sugarplum Daisy. I even found some spotty ribbon in my stash and a rather cute cupcake brad! The ticket stamp is from the Pen and Paper Circle Club issue 5 magazine. The brown card is from my stash along with the half pearls.
Anjie - For this card I have used the fab free image from Emma Canning, which is coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are from the new Cherry Blossom Lane CD. I've cut out a few more flowers from the paper and glittered and decoupaged them. I've used a punch on the bottom of the card and also decorated the inside of the card with the same papers. I've finished it off with some faux stitching.
Shell - For my card this week I have used the fab freebie from Emma Canning (you can find more here)
The papers are from the Gingerbread Twist CD. I have coloured the image with a mixture of copics and promarkers, the tickets are from the Sugarplum Daisy CD. I have added a few stitches around the finished image and some dots to the tickets, then added a few pearls and flowers to finish of the card.

And if you need any inspiration in using the freebie image, then look no further - see what the fab Design Team have come up with!
Ruth: I've kept mine quite simple and used Promarkers to colour the fab image from Emma, glitter glue, fancy dies and papers from Sugarplum Daisy. I even found some spotty ribbon in my stash and a rather cute cupcake brad! The ticket stamp is from the Pen and Paper Circle Club issue 5 magazine.

Anjie - For this card I have used the fab free image from Emma Canning, which is coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are from the new Cherry Blossom Lane CD. I've cut out a few more flowers from the paper and glittered and decoupaged them. I've used a punch on the bottom of the card and also decorated the inside of the card with the same papers.

Shell - For my card this week I have used the fab freebie from Emma Canning (you can find more here)
The papers are from the Gingerbread Twist CD. I have coloured the image with a mixture of copics and promarkers, the tickets are from the Sugarplum Daisy CD. I have added a few stitches around the finished image and some dots to the tickets, then added a few pearls and flowers to finish of the card.
JAN: I used the gorgeous Emma Canning cupcake image as a focal point for a card this week. Both background papers are from the 'Paper Boutique - Volume 1' CD. The image is coloured with Promarkers and nestles on a pretty little paper doily which I thought fits the cupcake theme nicely! The sentiment can be found on the 'Sugarplum Daisy' CD and the flowers are cut from scraps of the background papers using a template from the 'Candy Doodles' CD (one of my favourites!)
Margaret - I have used the lovely Emma Canning free digi image and coloured her with Promarker pens, all the background papers, sentiment ticket and the flowers are made using the newest of the Polka Doodles CD's Cherryblossom Lane and a couple of brads from my stash, with a bit of bling using Stickles Glitter Glue.
Anne - I've used papers from the Sugar Birdies CD and coloured Emma's lovely image with prisma pencils.
Kitty - For my card i used the gorgeous free Cupcake image from the uber talented Emma Canning! The papers are from the latest gorgeous collection Cherry Blossom Lane. The flourish is by Marianne Design which you can find here.
Lou - I have also used the gorgeous FREE cupcake image from Emma Canning and the papers are from Cherry Blossom Lane CD. I have embossed the background and added offcuts of ribbon, finishing the card off with some diecut stars.
Clare - Yes I too have used the gorgeous free image from our lovely Emma Canning. The red gingham paper is from the brand new Cherryblossom Lane CD. The yummy cupcake images are from the Sundae of Seasons CD. I have coloured the image with Flexmarkers and added Red Berry Doodle Dewdrops.
Good luck with the challenge and the hop - deadline for entries is Sunday 20 January at 12noon GMT.
