Alethea - I have decorated a candle this week for my inspired by a song creation!! The song that inspired this was "Hark the Herald Angels sing" I have used images from the Angelberry Christmas CD and added kindyglitz and rhinestones to jazz it up!

Asha - This week I made a paper bauble using papers from 2 Christmas CDs: Angelberry & Home For Christmas. I made them plain, without embellishments because so often we overlook the gorgeous papers in these CDs. Of course you  are free to embellish these baubles anyway you wish. For me, baubles mean one thing "It's Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas"

Karon - My carol inspiration for my card was - can you guess?  "Oh Christmas Tree".  I used a fabulous cutfile for the snowflake (under the tree) from the Studio 12 Picknix Collection 1 CD, the papers are also from this CD.  The tree is a pre-coloured image that has been glittered up and this, and the sentiment are from the A Home for Christmas CD.

Sally - Hi, so our challenge this week was to be inspired by a Carol.  I chose this lovely image of three carol singers from the Here Comes Christmas CD Rom and two of the papers.  I cut a scalloped circle from the dotty paper using a Spellbinder's die. Then I matted it onto the other background typography paper which I matted on a burnished silver pearlescent card. I die cut some music notes and added the words of a carol - Noel, Noel.

Zoe - So this week, I took our DT challenge literally! 2 CD's it said, so sure enough I used the gorgeous 'Home For Christmas' cd together with the fabulous 'Angelberry' collection, but then I also took 2 old CD's to make the bases of my decoration. I printed off papers & embellishments from both collections to cover the cd's, and I also printed the beautiful digi image of the Angelberry Peace angel which I coloured with a mix of markers. Once everything was dry I glued each part to some Christmassy ribbon. My carol inspiration was 'The Holly & the Ivy'!

Claire C - I've made a little door hanger using my favourite polkadot papers from Angelberry Christmas CD and a sentiment and embellies from Here Comes Christmas CD, the images have been coated with Glossy Accents and I've added some Doodle Dewdrops and a few dots of gold stickles too

Lidia Hi! Everyone and for this challenge I made a simple card, I use traditionally colors, red and Green, the paper stripes and the image are from Sundae of Seasons CD, and the border are from Picknix CD Collection , I hope you like it.
