Let's see what the Design Team have for your inspiration this week...

Ria - For my Tic Tac Toe card I used this cute Lily Bug Love that I coloured with warm grey alcohol markers only. (CHECK WINGS).  I used the black checkered paper from the Lily bug Love Collection and the Hi embellishment (CHECK Sentiment) that I fuzzy cut. and to check off Nature I used a cutting die with butterflies. no idea which brand it is as I have had it for ages and I need a good Die organizing system hahahahhaha as now I have NONE :)

 Jenny - Tic Tac Toe is the challenge and I have used the new Sticks and Bones collection for my card. I have made the entire card from bits left over from other projects, the topper is from a design sheet and backing papers always have bits left that usually get wasted because you put them to one side and they end up getting creased. My line of choice is sentiment, lace and flower, I love the circular sentiments and now I have a die which is the right size it makes using them a breeze.

Karon - I used the third column for my Tic Tac Toe card, Sentiment, Lace and Flower.  Returning to an older collection is always good fun, you never know what you might find. So, everything on my card is from the All Sewn Up collection, you can get it as a small bundle on it's own or you can buy the full bundle Studio 12 Picknix 1 - which this collection is part of.  All the edges of all the layers were inked and some were place on foam tape to add some dimension.

Jackie - I have chosen to use wings, polka dots and charms in my take of the tic-tac-toe challenge. The Serenity Dancing digi I have used is available on it's own or in the  Serenity collection. The gorgeous range of papers I have used are also in the collection.  Details on my blog for colouring.

Scatty Jan - For this weeks make I used the wonderful Lily Bug Love  collection and for my Tic-Tac- Toe, I used Wings, Nature and Sentiment. I love all the pretty papers, such a beautiful girly collection that would fit many occasions. I made a cute little box cut on  my portrait, which holds a few chocolates ...yummmy!! How cute are those bugs!!

Aunty Sue - Well for my Tic Tac Toe I have completed all the boxes except the animal. I have made a bag using our New Lily Bug Love Collection. Everything except the lace and charms are available in the collection Here 

Melanie Smith - here using the beautiful Serenity Princess digital stamp. For my Tic Tac Toe I have used "Wings, Nature, and a Sentiment"

Fabulous inspiration.  Now it's over to you!  Lucky Green challenge winner and top 3 will be announced next Friday.

Can't wait to see your fabulous creations.

Lets see what Lucky Green inspiration we have for you from the Design Team.

Karon - I wanted to wish a friend Good Luck with a move and couldn't resist playing around with the fabulous dig's from the Sticks & Bones collection.  I found stone wheels for the house on one of the topper images, so cut out four.  A cut the house out twice and cut out the window so a could insert a little dinosaur looking out. Added a little bit of twine to the necks of Mom & Dad Dino and there you have they are all set to move house :-)

Scatty Jan - As soon as I saw the fantastic Alphabet in the Sticks & Bones collection , it so reminded me of a nursey with the alphabet going around the room, so it had to be done - I adored making this card and adding all the little details , I think the egg may hatch any day soon! Spot the little scan picture on the wall to -The clothers were borrowed from The Baby Boom Collection - Lots more photos on my blog xx

Aunty Sue - Hi as soon as I saw the word Green I thought of all the Green Trees and elements in the new collection STICKS & BONES and just had to have a play. I have made a Stepper card so I could add different layers of elements. I have used a pre-coloured  image and elements from one of the Topper sheets and also a Digi which I coloured and placed on the oval as if she had just flown through. I think they are all off to a party don't you. You can get the whole collection as a download HERE. Topper sheet and digi can also be purchased on their own.

Jenny - Lucky Green is the challenge and I thought of these two cheeky birds straight away, after all someone bringing you birthday goodies is very lucky indeed.  I use a pre-coloured image from Twiggy and Toots but also the backing papers from the new Sticks and Bones collection.

Mia - I made a Clean and simple card using the Sticks & Bones Collection. I have used some of the papers and one of the digi stamps. Please see my blog for more details.

Ria - For my lucky green inspiration I used this cute Dino from the Sticks & Bones Collection collection. I used watercolouring pencils to colour the little Dino. 

Jackie - Green brought to mind dinosaurs and there are certainly lots of those to choose from in the Sticks and Bones collection. I coloured this digi from the collection using Copic markers. The photo frame, paper and caption are also from Sticks and Bones.

Melanie here sharing my "Green" project with all of you. I have used the "Serenity Dancing" digital stamp from the "Serenity Collection" I absolutely love this entire collection.

Fabulous inspiration from everyone.

Anjie - Everything I have used on the card is from the collection. I have used a background scene image but printed some extra houses out and decoupaged them. I have also mounted the tree and all the dinos on 3D foam to make then stand out.

Julie -- 'Lucky Green' -  perfect for the new, fun Polkadoodles Sticks and Bones Collection! Available in CD and Digital Download.  I thought a green dinosaur would make the perfect friendship card. The papers, alphabet (spelling out 'Roar'), sentiment, and dinosaur are all from the Sticks and Bones collection.

Caz - For my lucky green creation i have used the cute digi image called  Just sitting here...I have sat her on the pre coloured image Tortoise-turtle-5.  These can also be found, along with the frame, and papers..In the fab Sticks n Bones collection, either on cd. or if you prefer download.

Bev here with something a bit different (for me) this week I used the Sticks and Bones collection to make a keyring. It's such a cute collection. I can't put it down!

Anita - Hi everyone I'm back with a collection I have never used before and so glad I did ,
Dollie goes East Collection and for the backing paper just to show how nikky's collections work so well together I have chosen my backing paper from the yummy Rose Budd cd Collection.

Claire C I've used lots of elements from the fabulous new Polkadoodles collection 'Sticks and Bones' which you can find here as a CD or here as a download, the paper, image, sentiment flowers and leaves are all printed from the CD and just added some embossed card, Doodle Dewdrops and a few little pearls from my stash.

Nikky...I used the Polkadoodles Lilybug collection for this cute card - such a lovely image to colour and perfect for love and romance...

Julie -- There are so many collections in the Polkadoodles store that would be excellent for our "Love and Romance" challenge! I used Cupid from the Work and Play 9 Digital Collection. It's also available in a CD.  I colored Cupid with Copic markers.  The designer papers and the sentiment tag are all part of the Work and Play 9 - Love and Kisses Digital Download.

Anjie - I have used the pretty Rose Budd collection for everything on this. You can also get the image, Miss Charlotte as a clear stamp. I've cut out the balustrade and mounted it on 3D foam to make it look like she is stood behind it. I have used my Graph'It Markers to colour her.

Caz..For my creation i have used everything from the fab new collection Sticks n Bones collection available as a download.  or if prefer a cd.  Ive used the pre coloured image called Ride with me. More detail on my blog.

Bev here with my inspiration this week. I'm currently addicted to the Sticks and Bones collection and coloured this digi up with my Graph'it markers, everything else except the distress ink, markers, ribbon & gems is from the collection.

Ruth:  I've gone a bit cute for this challenge!  Used the very delightful Winston cd to make an Anniversary card for a male - just enough cute and blue to make it work!  A bit of light distressing and it's good to go!

Anita - hi there everyone today I had fun playing with the Work and play 9 - Love and Kisses collection I have chosen Cupid and the yummy backing paper is from this collection too, I have coloured using pencils.

Claire C I've made this card using one of the gorgeous images and some of the precoloured embellies from the new Sticks and Bones collection, the image is called Aim High and you can find him here as a digi stamp or you can get the whole collection here. I cut the image out and popped him on to the large heart with 3d foam pads and layered it all up over a sheet of acetate to help it stand up.
