Now lets take a look at the fabulous creations this week!...

Asha - It seems like I'm hooked on the Serenity Fairy collection. Everything you see on this card is from this CD. The digi image is called Serenity Princess and is available separately to download. I coloured her with Faber Castell Polychromos and a few embellies from my stash. Hop over to my blog and you'll see her in full.

Scatty Jan - For the Frame It challenge I decided to use 4 of the Oddellas, I love these there so much fun to colour up. I have used Oddella Bow, Oddella Bag, Oddella Twig and Oddella Heart. All coloured with Graph'It Markers. The photo film strip was cut out on my portrait.

Penny  - With a photo booth layout using the fabulous Twiggy and Toots pre-coloured images.  I imported the images into my Silhouette Cameo and cropped them down to create a photobooth layout.   The images being precoloured made this such a simple project.   I used glossy cardstock to make the images pop.   The background paper is also from the kit and it was really easy to colour match some elements to make it all come together.

Lou - I have used the scrummy Rose Budd collection to create my card. I only needed to print one elements sheet and one page full of flowers. My frame is very subtle as wanted the floral elements to stand out.

Karon - I have used 4 of the fabulous fairies from the Serenity collection for my Frame It.  I couldn't resist using them to make a 4 Season canvas.  I used for Spring - Serenity Fairy Kisses, for Summer -  Serenity Dancing, for Autumn - Serenity Earthstar, and finally for Winter - Serenity Joyful.  The rest of the bits and pieces are listed on my blog. else I will be here all day and you need to get crafting too :-)

Cheremane - I have used the stunning Octavia Moonfly collection to create my inspiration for you. Its the perfect collection if you adore fairy's but to be honest who dosen't love a Fairy. I have used Octavia Mooning Washing Day Digi as my main image which you can find Here. The papers, ribbon, flowers and sentiment are all from the Octavia collection, look at all that texture in those papers and that's exactly how they print, how fabulous is that.

Jenny - I've used the Serenity collection this time, but I've used a pre-coloured image as I was a bit pushed for time. You can also buy her on her own if you fancy a single digi she's called Serenity Fairy Cake.

Beautiful creations!

Now lets take a look at the fabulous creations from our Design Team.

Naz - The stamp I have used for this card is from TWIGGY AND TOOTS collection. 
I coloured the image with Copics and cut it out. Owl's party hat, balloons and the banner as well as the happy birthday sentiment are all from Polkadoodles Cherryblossom Lane. 
For the word DAD I used Kaisercraft Decorative Dies - Block Words.
I used some Wink of Stella glitter clear pen on the balloons, the hat and and the banner.
To finish off my card, I added few pearls for embellishment.

Claire C  I had a lovely evening colouring one of the gorgeous images from Twiggy and Toots with my Graph'It Markers. I adore this collection, you can find it here on CD or here as a download or if you prefer you can get the digi on its own too, its called Gone Fishing. I've added lots of lovely papers and embellies from the collection and as always Nikky has come up with a fabulous selection of sentiments too

Jenny - I have used an older collection for my card, I decided on a card for my friends grandson. I used one of the boys from the Pretty Tuff collection.  He isn't easily pleased and doesn't like too much fuss so hopefully he'll like this.

Wendy - So for my Fathers Day card, I've used elements from Work and Play 3, available as a CD rom or downloadable here. Both backing papers are from the Male Caravan section, with the check paper having been re-coloured in Craft Artist. The sentiment is also from this collection and I suspect originally susposed to match with the Doctors in the collection, but fits perfectly with my theme. The image is also available as a digi for you to colour here.

Anjie - I have used the Skateborder image from the Work and Play 11 collection. The image is also available on it's own HERE. I have coloured him with my Prisma pencils. All the papers, embellies and borders are also from the same collection.

Anita - Hi there everyone today for my Fathers day / male make I have used the postman and co- ordinating papers from the Work and Play 4 Collection  , He is also available on his own Here, I have not coloured him this time round I used the pre coloured version it prints out a dream.

Now lets take a look at the fabulous creations from our Design Team.

Scatty Jan For todays make I have used a design sheet from the Work and Play 11 collection also as a download collection here - I love using the design sheets especially for male cards as I find them hard to do and these sheets take away a lot of the thinking - All pre coloured too so a super quick card. All that was added to this one was an extra backing paper from the collection

Asha: I made my manly card with digi images, patterned papers and ticket tags from the Work and Play 10 Country Life collection. The Gamekeeper is also available as a digi download. I did all my colouring with Faber Castell Polychromos.

Cheremane - Today I'm sharing a creation I've made from the great Work and Play 10 Country Life collection, I have used the pre-coloured image. You can download the GameKeeper Image Digi Here its the perfect male image and I've teamed it with the fab papers & sentiment also from the Collection. 

Karon - I have used the fabulous Winston collection for my card.  I adore this little bear and thought this was the perfect pre-coloured image to layer up.  I inked up all the edges of all the layers and then added 3 little button top brads to finish off.

Penny - with the awesome Work and Play 11 Golfer Image.  I layered up a digi paper onto a cameo cut file of a little bag that my kids will fill up with lollies for their dad.  The sentiment is spot on, again from Work and Play 11.  If anyone has met a golfer who won't appreciate this sentiment, let me know.

Agnieszka hello,  today I want to share with you  a male card. I used  Workand Play 10 Country Life collection, I have used the pre-coloured image, you can find GameKeeper Image Digi Here

I also printed and used  papers from CD.

Lou: I have used a pre-coloured design sheet "Gone Fishin' "from Work and Play 7 to create my card. It is a "sort of" gate fold card but each gate has a different theme and is smaller than a traditional gate fold card. The fishing image is also available separately in the digi shop HERE

So much wonderful inspiration.

Can't wait to see what you come up with, we love visiting your blogs 

to take a look see at your wonderful creations.

Remember only 2 entries per person please.

We will announce the winner of our Girly but No Pink challenge next Friday.

Have a great week!
