Onto the Design Teams creations!
Ruth: Both my boys have Birthdays in the first half of September (I know, bad planning!) - Jacob is 8 today and Samuel will be 10 next Friday and to help celebrate his birthday I've made these cute star cake toppers! Really easy to make - I've printed a sheet of paper from Picknix 2 - Gingerbread Twist (yes - it can be used for non Christmas projects!), die cut the stars, inked edges, added a dotted line with a black fineliner, stuck a cocktail stick to the reverse and added some die cut numbers! Lets hope he likes them!
Lou: I have made a wallet to house my Dad's presents and is made to match the card I shared with you all yesterday. I have stamped Kraft card using Studio 12 stamps, Distressed Checkers, embossed with a Happy Birthday Folder, restamped using circle stamps from Studio 12 Distressed Zig & Zag and finally, covered it with Versamark, embossing with clear powder. I hope it gives the outside of my wallet a leather feel. For the inside I have used a paper from Studio 12 Picknix Vol 1 CD and made areas to put the vouchers inside and a space to write a greeting. For the decorative stitching, I have used a running stitch stamp from Studio 12 Distressed Zig & Zag. I have closed the wallet with a leather stramp secured in place with a metal "70". Full details can be found on my blog.
Shell-I have made a cute little box for the challenge this week. I printed my paper from the Gingerbread Twist CD, I then made that into a cute little box on my cameo. I had a play with my meltpot and made a gorjuss little frame for a picture of my Granddaughter. This is for her to give to her aunty for her 21st Birthday. Added a few flowers to finish it off. More pics will be on my blog.
JAN - I decided to decorate a gift bag for a 50th birthday prezzie. I used one of my favourite papers from the Picknix 1 CD and some gorgeous Studio 12 stamps called 'Shabby Owl Blossom', which I coloured with my Promarkers. I also used the 'Distressed Zig Zag' stamps around the edge to look like fake stitching. Now what shall I put inside?
Patty - I've opted to use the gorgeous Cherryblossom Lane Collection. To make a box to be used as a party favor to add some mini cookies and serve it on a 3rd bithday party celebration. I printed off a few of the papers to make the Box and also printed the Happy Birthday tag that comes as a part of the sentiment on the CD. My friend loved the idea because the invitation were a small flowers just like the ones on the paper. All papers are from the same CD. I add the pink knot as a delicate touch.

Anjie - For my project this week I have used papers and images from the Studio 12 CD-rom Picknix Collection 2 Gingerbread Twist. I have covered a plain MDF money box to give to my new Great Nephew for his 1st Christmas. I have lightly distressed the edges and added faux stitching. More photos can be seen on my blog.
Lizzie - I used the Studio 12 Cd Picknix to make this box using papers to line and cover the box. AND I made flowers with it too! The leaves are from a Marianne Die. I used a Sizzix die to make the flowers. Of course I glittered the edges of the layers and flowers with my stickles. The sentiment I printed on my computer. On all the edges and corners of the papers and flowers I used distress inks to make it pop. A few gems and volia! Done!
