but if you can add something crafty you'll get extra points and likes so show us what you got! The winner of this challenge will win £5 of downloads! 
Let's see what the Design Team have to show you!...

Anjie... The image on my card this week is called Emma Canning To Die For and is available as an instant download so you can get crafting straight away! She is coloured with Graph 'It Markers. The papers are from the fabulous Sugarplum Daisy CD-Rom. I've added rolled roses using the same papers and some die cuts. The sentiment ticket is also from the same CD.

Zoe - This week I set about making something I've wanted to do for ages. A sign for my craft room door! I took a MDF 'Create' word and decorated it with paint, but Pan Pastels would work. I created a wire coil to attach my image which was matted and layered a number of times on colour coordinating card. The image is Emma Canning's Colour Me Happy digi which I coloured with a mix of markers including Graph It's.

Scatty Jan - This week I decided on a card using Emma Canning's Colour Me Happy digi - How great is she brilliant for any crafters birthday- coloured using promarkers and white gel pen - The front of the small card I added a sentiment and some glamour dust - The paper is from Tail Feather download bundle and the flowers are from Back to Nature download bundle which I finished off with some candi xx

Debbi - I have to admit that my craft stash needs a bit of a tidy. So this week I made a start (all be it a small start...lol) and have made a pen organiser for my Promarkers. The Emma Canning 'Colour Me Happy' digi stamp was perfect to add to the front.The panel were made using papers from the 'Christmas Joy' bundle, which is great as it can be used all year round and not just at Christmas.

Cara....I've gone with something different for me this week and done a very CAS style card ..I've used the Emma Canning Colour me Happy Digi, we all seem to have taken a shine to this image but if you pop by the store there are loads of "Crafty" themed images.

Jo - For this week's crafty project I used my graphics program to merge a cute polkadot paper from the Emma Canning animal and nature digi kit and a button embellishment from Sugar Boys digi kit, to create a completely different backing paper. I love how creative you can be with digital papers and embellishments :) The gorgeous image is Sew and Sew by Emma Canning. 

Katrina - for this challenge I have used the sweet Emma Canning Colour me Happy Digi - I decided to make a small hanging sign that I will be giving to a friend this Christmas! The image was coloured with copics and I stuck it to the sign using silicone - the words are cut from vinyl on my cameo :) 

Susan - I just love to sew ,so this was the perfect digi for me to use in this challenge, it's Sew and Sew by Emma Canning and the paper is from da! da! you've gest it Girls Hoot

I have listed everything used on my blog...

Sally - Hi there folks!  What a busy weekend I have had.  I got home late last night and knew I had to get this week's Digi Choosday challenge done.  I chose one of Emma Cannings lovely images and coloured her with my Graph'its and Promarkers.  I cut her out and mounted her onto a Spellbinders scalloped circle and then mounted her onto a easel card. I covered the background with some dotty paper which I had in my crafty stash and I am sure it is off of one of my Polkadoodle CD Roms and then cut out some hexagons using scraps again and made it like she was sewing a patchwork quilt. 

So this is my " Miss you Sew much" card x

Kevin I have used this gorgeous image called To die for from Emma Canning, and as always I have coloured her with my Graph'it Markers.

So there is all the fab inspiration from the team - I'm sure you'll agree that they're all superb makes!

Let's see what the uber talented team have for you today...

Anjie - The image is called Fredericka Debutante Digistamp  and is coloured with my Graph 'It markers. The papers are from the Fredericka - Mini CD collection. I created the sentiment myself in MS Word. I've added a few handmade rolled roses using the same papers and then die cuts and a large stem rose.

Zoe - Well this week I chose to celebrate a very important occasion in my life. My Graduation. I used the fantastic Emma Canning Graduation Celebration image to embellish my memory book pages. I coloured the image to match my robes using a mix of markers including Graph It's. I love using digi images to accent photos & to add a character to my memories.

Sally - Hi it's Digi Choosday again!  Woo Woo!  or  should I say Twit Twoo!!  "Celebrations" is our challenge this week.  I chose a digi kit called "Owl Always Love You" which is so cute and a lovely way to say Happy Anniversary to any of your loved ones.  I printed off the papers and embellishments and decided to do a gatefold card.  I adhered the papers to the card, cut a Spellbinders scalloped circle and circle and twigs and cut out one of the owls and put him on a twig onto the circles.  It was such a quick and easy card! I really love digi kits for that reason alone as you have everything there at your finger tips and it all matches!

Debbi - What is a 'celebration' without a party? And what is a party without bunting? :) This week I have made some celebration bunting using the totally gorgeous Tail Feather download bundle. There is so much in this bundle to use, I was spoilt for choice. But I LOVE the peacocks so just had to use them. I really feel this download can be used for so many occasions.

Sarah - I went for a card to celebrate a romantic occasion: engagement, anniversary, or even just I Love You!  Everything came from the Heart to Heart download - I'm just beginning to realise with digi papers how great it is to have all sorts of coordinating papers/images/sentiments!  I printed off one of the papers re-sized to be the background and then printed a topper twice and decoupaged it.  All of the various layers are up on 3d foam for depth - simple, but effective (I hope!).

Scatty Jan  - I chose to use the Emma Canning image here comes the bride how stunning she is. I have used Promarkers to colour and glamour dust and white pearl pen on her dress. The 3d glass was cut on my portrait xx

Cara ... Whenever I think Celebration I always think "Cake" ... any excuse for cake right?? So I used the lovely "Cupcake" image by Emma Canning. I teamed it with papers from the Sugar Boys Download bundle which shows really how versatile these lovely bundles are.

Jo - I took my inspiration from the cute birthday sentiment topper I used and literally hung bunting across my card to match it. The gorgeous green dotty paper is actually from the Christmas Joy download bundle which goes to show how versatile the kits are, they can be used for any occasion. I've also used papers and flowers from Emma Canning's Animals and Nature kit for the bunting and embellishments.

Katrina - I have used the beautiful Fredericka Debutante Digistamp  - I fell in love with her when I saw her and thought she was perfect for a special someone I know who has a very special Birthday coming up! I coloured her with Copics and used some papers from my stash and the 21 was cut on my cameo :)

Susan -My card for this weeks challenge is Christmas .I have used one of Emma' s new Digies

Baublegown coloured with Graph'it  markers and a backing paper from Christmas Joy. If you pop over to my blog I will tell you what I have done.

Kevin My Celebration card is for a Birthday,  I have used  Emma Canning image called Walkies coloured as always with my  Graph'it Markers ,

So there's the inspiration for today! 

I'm sure you'll agree that they're all superb makes again this week, love love love all the work these guys have put in!

Scatty Jan.....How cute is little Ralph, I could not wait to get him coloured. He sits perfectly on my little Nesting/bird box. The Papers and Tag are from the download pack Christmas Joy and the Flowers and Holly Leaves from the download pack Back to Nature.

Anjie- Isn't the digi image just adorable! It is called Teddy hug and can be found here. I have coloured him with my Graph' It markers and then sprayed him with Graph'It Mix It Fluid which gives some texture. The papers and embellishments are from the Home for Christmas CD Collection. I have embossed a piece of white card and then used gold, copper and green Pan Pastels. I'm in love with the metallic pans, they give such a great effect!

Zoe - I decided to make a gift card to allow me to send a book voucher/card as a present, and as soon as I saw Emma Canning's Bookworm I knew I had to use it. I also chose elements from the Love Will Flourish digi collection even though this says it's for wedding stationery.  The papers and embellishments are so suitable for many an idea so it's always worth looking beyond the collection title. I took all of the images into Serif Craft Artist to create the main topper & bookmark. I matted & layered both onto coordinating card  before creating a simple pocket for the gift card/voucher to slot into along with a matching bookmark.

Debbi - You can't help but love Ralph, who is all ready for winter in his furry hat. I loved making this shape card, which can be used for winter birthdays as well as Christmas. The great thing about digi stamps  and downloads is the variety of things you can make. I made this card by importing the digi into the Silhouette Cameo software, which I separated  into sections and coloured each one. And the little secret of the furry hat...is a makeup cotton pad split in half :)

Sarah - Am very excited to be doing my first Digi Chooseday post and looking forward to using all the fabulous digi stash! For my very first project with the team I used an Emma Canning image - To Die For which I coloured with my ProMarkers and matched her with papers and embellishments from Sugar Boys download and Tail Feather download.  I then added a die-cut, a sentiment from Marriage Download bundle and some lace to finish off.  I thought maybe the card could be sent to a crafty friend who just purchased their first die-cutting machine, or even just someone who really loves their die-cuts (oh that would be me!!).

Cara
I'm so pleased to have been picked for this brand new design Team, I love working with Digital downloads, they are just so flexible to work with.  For my first card I used this super cute image called Christmas Cuddle by Emma Canning and coloured her up with my fabulous Graph'it Markers.
 I used the Christmas Joy download bundle for all of my papers and embellishments.

Kevin
I am very excited to be on this brand new design team, I enjoy working with Digital images and Polkadoodle download bundles, I have used this gorgeous image from Emma Canning called The Happy Couple which is coloured with Graph'it Markers. and the beautiful Boundless Love Digital download bundle.

Jo....
Hi everyone... I'm soooooo pleased to be able to do a little playing designing with the fabulous products from Polkadoodles. For my first project, I totally fell in love with this Emma Canning Sew and Sew digi image which was printed onto some fantastic white card, and then coloured with alcohol markers. After she was mounted with some die cuts, I trimmed up some of this paper and layered it onto brown cardstock. The card was finished with a die cut bunting and a border punch.

Joanne
Hello everyone, I am sooo excited about being a part of Digi Choosday! For my first project I couldn't resist colouring the gorgeous Emma Canning digi, Skate Away With Me. I added a sentiment, available here, and a glittered, kraft card snowflake embellishment for a bit of added sparkle. The background paper is from Christmas Joy, available here.

Susan - I was so exited when I got picked for the brand new Digi Choosday DT . I have used the Digi collection Girls Hoot ,and an image from the very talented Emma Canning Prom Day coloured with Graph'it markers . All are available at Polkadoodles.

Katrina

I decided to give a Christmas feel with this Emma Canning Angel digi but it can be used all year round - very clever design! 

Sally - Hi there, so excited to be on the new Design Team!  I have used one of my favourite digis from Emma Canning called "All lit up" which I coloured with my Graph'it markers. I then used the a backing paper, embellishments and sentiment from the digi bundle Christmas Joy to complete my card. I matted it on brown cardstock and die cut a holly tag for my sentiment.

So there is all the fab inspiration from the team - I'm sure you'll agree that they're all superb makes!
