Now onto the fabulous inspiration from the Design Team...

Tina: I created for you a card and used some from the collection Winnie Special Moments. That Image Windy Day, digital Paper from Paper Heaven 2 and a frame and dragonfly. I colored Winnie with Polychromos and my flowers are made from Foamiran.

Scatty Jan - For my card this week I am using the wonderful Winnie Special Moments collection, This collection totally blew me away being so mega cute. This is  made up from Digi elements.

Michelle - I am using Lilly Bug Love Collection for my project I love this little love bug I have used the papers, digi image all from this collection

Claire C - I've used papers and stamps from the beautiful Belle Papillon Paper Craft Kit and added some stencilled polkadots to make this card. I've also used lots of Polkadoodles dies to create the flower and foliage - Flower Flourish, Birdhouse Doublet Set, Flowers 1.

Bev here with a cute 5x5 card created from Horace & Boo Big Kahuna. I used a combination of papers, sentiment and design sheet. Shaping the flowers to give dimension and inking to give an aged look.

Anjie - I've used the Winnie In Winterland collection. Both of the backing papers have dots on them and then I've used the oval frame die from the Bubbleicious die set which also has a pin dot line around the edges. I've mounted the top layer of paper and the topper onto 3D foam. I've layered up some of the beautiful flowers and added some stamens to them.

Such fabulous creations....

Tina:Today I would like to show you a little love letter box. Fits for Valentine's Day and for your Inspiration. I have cut the letter box with Cameo and used some Design Paper and flowers for the decoration. I used the sweet "Lily Bug Love - Hello from the Heart" and colored her with Polychromos.

Scatty Jan - Sharing with you a perfume bottle that was cut on my portrait, I used lots of the new goodies found instore here to decorate and inside there is the sentiment with love - for lots more photos please pop by my blog xx

Anjie - I printed the Love word from the Lily Bug Love collection at 9cm wide onto glossy photo paper and fussy cut it out. The heart was also on the same paper. I then did some matting and layering and added some faux stitching before adding the word and heart onto 3D foam. More details and another card (I couldn't resist) are on my blog.

Bev here with my inspiration using Love & Kisses (Work & Play 9) I adore the love bird digi in this collection, so much so I coloured it up 4 times to create my own decoupage, using my Lyra Pencils. A couple of contrasting papers & the sentiment come from the collection too. Although the decorative die cut, ribbon and a little heart embellie from my crafty stash.

Michelle  I have made a loaded envelope for this project I used Belle Papillon Big Kahuna Bundle I have made some of my own embellishments like the bottle caps with a large bottle cap, wands  and tags all made with this beautiful bundle.

Claire C - I've used some of the beautiful papers from BellaFleur plus stamps and dies from Beau Papillon to make this card. I think this is my all time favourite paper, it's soooo pretty!

Alysha - This week I have created a shaped card using elements from both the Serenity Fairy Wishes CD and Little Kingdom CD, Looking forward to seeing your projects, hugs Aly xx

Tammi - I used Winnie Fruit Punch Collection and colored her with Copic markers. Big hugs everyone.

Pauline - I have used the gorgeous flowers from the Daisydays CD.  I resized the flowers in Word and fussy cut them before attaching them to a ribbon covered wreath using hot glue.  To finish I added a sentiment from the CD and a bow.

Carol - I have made a sweet gift using papers from Winnie Fruit Punch Big Bundle and a topper from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Collection and flowers, leaves and sentiment from the Daisydays Stamp Me set. 

Ruth:  I've kept it simple and used all elements from Lily Bug Love - I layered the image onto the shaped card and simply added liquid pearl dots and a sentiment embellishment with a button from my stash.  Really quick and easy especially if you're in a rush!

Lisa - I have made a shaped card using some large dies and the beautiful papers from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles Bundle. To feed my mermaid addiction I've used the super cute Meribelle Pretty and added some pearls, net, seaweed, hand stitching and shells.

Anyway, let's get on with the show and see what the wonderful Design Team have for your inspiration this week...

Tracy - I made a rectangle/oval shaped card for this challenge. I used Paper, sentiment, and all cut outs you can see on this card from Winston Bear collection. Winston is raised over the layers giving him a real 3d look.

Katrina - For my rocker card I have used part of a sentiment, some papers and a digistamp from the fabulous Starfish and Sandcastles VIP XXL Collection. Rocco is coloured with Promarkers and I've added buttons and cloud die-cuts to finish.

Scatty Jan For my project this week I have used a little mixture . I have mainly used Winston Bear collection but also added a little of Picknix. I started with the scissors which is covered using papers from Winston , the scissors sit neatly on a little box which opens so handy for a treat. The tape measurse's , manaquin are from Picknix all other elements from Winston. I had a few bits left over so made a matching card 

Bev here with my idea for anything but square. I decided to use one of the embellies from Starfish & Sandcastles I took it into my graphics programme, duplicated it and made my card blank then decorated it with lots of other goodies from the collection. Don't you just love the sentiment?

Anjie - On my card I've used the Oceania Clear Stamp set. I used the Whale and Whale tail to stamp a background out. I then created some mats and layers and stamped onto watercolour card with a versamark ink pad and used a clear embossing powder. When I heat set the images I then whooshed over them with a blue paint from my Gansai Tambi Watercolours paints. I then raised those up with 3D foam and there you are, all done. A really quick and simple card to make.

Anita - Hi there this week I played with Winnie hello from the gorgeous Winnie in Wonderland collection coloured with alcohol markers, added lots of embellies  and the fabulous sentiment qoutes from the cd.

Michelle  For my project I have used the Twiggy and Toots Collection  I have also used Winnie Fruit Punch Collection for some of the papers. I have coloured the image with Copic markers. The card base was cut out on my silhouette cameo.

Claire C: I've made a door hanger for my project using the adorable Lily Bug Love, she's such a cutie and so much fun to colour! Papers are from the same collections and I've coloured the lovely Lily with my Graph'it Markers. Lily is available here as a cd or if you can't wait to start printing she's available as a download here. If you just want the digi, it's called Lily Bug Sending love and you can find her here.

Lou: I have used "Dancing Queen" as my focal image and then one of the digi embellishments, clapper board, to create my card base. Both are from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection 

Lovely creations to inspire you all with our Anything Goes challenge! 

Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for sharing your creations with us, we love coming to visit and appreciate you taking part in our challenges.

Here are more fantastic creations from the team

Tracy - Something a bit different from me this time, an art journal page for our Summertime challenge.  I have printed out and fussy cut a heap of different images from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.

Michelle -  I had so much fun with this one.  When I think Summer, a nice cold cocktail comes to mind.  I have used the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection, using embellishments, paper, sentiment and digital image coloured with alcohol markers.  The cocktail glasses I enlarged to fit with my project and the butterfly I made a bit smaller, this is the beauty of these collections you can make them any size you like :-)

Anita - I went way out of my comfort zone on my Summer Time creation and had a dabble with watercolouring without a brush !! I used the Summer Time Collection  to create my scene using the lovely digital images.

Scatty Jan When I think of Summer I think of all the lovely flowers , so my project this week reflects that. My cards have matching envelopes too (more pics on my blog) I have used  for the pink card - papers from  Lemonade Fizz - The purple card papers from Lavender Tea - The blue card papers from Octavia Moonfly. The sentiment stamps you can find here

Katrina - I've used part of a sentiment, some papers and a digistamp from the fabulous Starfish and Sandcastles VIP XXL Collection. Winnie is coloured with Promarkers and I've added sequins and some mesh ribbon to finish.

Anjie - For this card I have used a flower from the new Tropical Paradise Flamingo clear stamp set, and a sentiment from the new Oceania clear stamp set. I've coloured the image with Pickled Raspberry and Pine Needles distress inks. I've then cloured over the whole background with the Pickled Raspberry ink and added the usual squiggly black line with a fine liner.

Ruth:  I've made a cute pillow box with papers from the Lily Bug Love paper collection - its really easy to make as long as the lines are scored in the right places!  To finish, I've made a double pin wheel, added a half pearl to the centre and used some ribbon from my stash to add a bow.

Bev here with a summertime floral creation made using Cherryblossom Lane collection. I just adore the watercoloured look of these pre coloured flowers. and used one of the A5 inserts as my actual card base. This collection is just so versatile.

Claire C Flowers and birds are perfect for our summer theme so i've used some of the beautiful new stamps Tropical flowers 1 and Tropical Paradise Flamingo for my card
