So let's see what the team have made this week! ....

Ruth:  I've gone all the way back to May 2013 to show you this, made with papers from the Fredericka cd that I've cut out and inked and the sentiment is from Cherryblossom Lane and I've also inked that too.

Lizzie - Gosh its so hard to choose a favourite as I LOVE all things Polka Doodles!!! Way back in April I made this card and gift box. I just loved them so much ! For the card I used the Stampies from the CD All Around and Everywhere. To make them large enough to make a card with I enlarged the view on them and used the printing option of current view. For the box I used the CD All around and Everywhere for the images. The paper I used from the CD Picknix 1. I just love how the words look like clouds!

Zoe - Choosing my fav was easy, I chose my santa wreath where I decided to set myself a task of using the digi images from the amazing Home For Christmas CD  to create a wreath. I chose the fabulous Poinsettia and the super santa. I took both into Serif Craft Artist and digitally manipulated the images - flipping to face the opposite way & changing sizes - positioning them around a rough circular shape. Once happy I printed it off and coloured every single image with a mix of markers including some Graph It markers. I chose more contemporary colours to match my home decor and once coloured I attached a ribbon."

Shell-Wow what a tough decision that was. I picked my super hero wall hanger as my fave make of 2013, I love it and Jake loved it too. I used papers from the Not for Girls CD 

Anjie Choosing my fave make from 2013 was a very hard job for me as I love all PD products! I eventually decided to go with these tags from October. I used the A Home for Christmas CD Collection  I cut out 3 tags in Kraft card and then printed some papers, embellishments and sentiments from the CD. I cut out three strips of papers for each tag and distressed the edges using distress ink. I glued the papers onto the tags and added some faux stitching with a white opaque pen. I then cut out all the embellishments and stuck them in place. I then used a distress ink on the sentiments and added them. I finished off the tags with some ribbon.

Claire C  It was hard to choose a favourite project as Nikky has released some amazing cds this year, anyway eventually I decided on this card made for our birthday girl challenge in August. The image is from Candy Doodles, I just love this CD! The image is coloured with Graph'It Markers

Rebekah - I actually had 2 favourite makes from 2013 but as one of them was the birthday card I made as the last make of the year...

it was only shown recently so I have chose the bunting I made with the Home for Christmas CD as well..

I used pre coloured images for my "NOEL" bunting and added hanging baubles, also pre coloured from the CD, from the bottom for added effect.
