The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Show some Love so if you want to join in go for it...

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!

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you!

Now lets see what the Design Team have been creating....

Scatty Jan - For my Love/ Romance project I decided on a little bag for a hen night. I have used Work & Play 9 - love & Kisses .And have done a mini tutorial on my blog so hop across to find all the details and plenty of photos xx

Melanie Smith - I have used Work & Play 9 - Love & Kisses. I choose this image because it reminded me of my husband and I :-) It was such fun to color.

Karon - Seems we all had similar ideas as far as which collection to use.  I have something a little different to share today.  I did this book fold for my nephew and his new wife.  All the papers, embellishments and cut files are from the wonderful Work & Play 9 - Love & Kisses collection.  If you would like to see what the book fold is, you will have to pop along to my blog :-)

Jessie - Who says we can't love our pets, even if that pet is a dinosaur! I used Walk the Dinosaur Girl from the new Sticks & Bones Collection in Digital and CD form! I coloured her and her best friend up with my copic markers, all of the paper's and embellishments (aside from the twine) all come from this collections, its seriously a fantastic TON of product to work with and I can't wait to see what you do with it, and with this weeks challenge!

Ria- I think this Cupid from the Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses is my all time favourite from this collection. I coloured her with watercolouring pencils.

Jenny -I have used the Work and Play 9 Collection - Love and Kisses, I love this collection and after all this time just got around to doing one of the Rocker Cards, these are in PDF format and you just print. cut out and use whatever bits you need. I have been out of the house so much that crafting has been just what I can fit in so these kind of designs that are ready to go are perfect for such times.

Aunty Sue - Well as Valentines day approaches we turn to Love and Romance. So I found this fab design sheet on Twiggy & Toots of the Happy couple sheltering from the rain (and those of us in the UK know about that). Dont they look cute in their wellies. The design sheet is a decoupage and this was my 1st love when I started crafting. So guess double Love. You can find the collection here 
The spotted paper is from the collection and the rose one is from Love & Kisses collection available here

Jackie- I have been busy cutting out heaps of the gorgeous images from the new Sticks and Bones collection available here. I love how it is something different for a loved one. I chose to make a stepper card this week and coloured in the main image. Don't forget that the images are available pre coloured if you prefer. The papers and sentiment are also from the collection.

Mia - I have used the gorgeous Work & Play 9 - Love & Kisses Collection to make this cute Valentines card. The images and papers are perfect for any romantic card and it was so hard to choose between them. I loved colouring in these couple especially the girls hair for more details come and visit my blog.

Now onto this weeks beautiful inspiration from our Design Team.....

Dawn:   I have used a precoloured image from Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses, which can be purchased  here or the full CD set here & mirror imaged it to show 2 brides as I have a friend whose daughter is marrying her  partner  later this year. The papers are from the same CD as well, as is the sentiment & champagne bottle & glasses. More details on my blog.

Asha: I was in a super girly girl mood when I reached out for the adorable Pretty Sweet Mini CD collection. Calling it Mini is an understatement! This CD is packed with the prettiest, sweetest, most darling images and papers. I used little Maddie as my focal image and she was a delight to colour with my Graph'It markers. Maddie with Present is also available as a single download digistamp. 

Scatty Jan - I decided to make a shaped card for this challenge - I made this sweet little baby card - The Pink checked paper is from Cherryblossom Lane collection. Added in some lace, Ribbon and a little Bow. I then added on little Etty from the Winston collection CD, which is also available as download,an also Etty as a digi that you can find here. layered up to give a little depth.

Ashley Lydia- I decided to make a very girly card using the fabulous princess and carriage from the Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses which you can find here. I made a glitter frame for dimension, and added some flowers that I dyed with chalk to match the purple and pink theme as well as some adorable hearts from the embellies of the WP9 collection. The princess is pre-colored but I added some vibrancy using my markers, its a great idea to go over the colors and practice your coloring skills =) 

Cheremane - I have used the fabulous Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses Cd you can also get the Bride & Groom as a Digi download Here. I adore Ribbons & lace so this was a very easy challenge for me. I printed the papers and distressed the edges with Milled Lavender distress ink, I used a lace edge punch on one of the papers, I die cut the pre-coloured digi image and distressed inked it before removing from the die to get a shadow. Finally added Ribbon Lace, flowers pearls and heart charm and a touch of glitter to the brides dress to finish. Pop on over to the Polkadoodles Shop as you will find everything for all your crafting needs and wants all in the one place.

Karon - I decided to use the wonderful Rose Budd Papercraftng Cd collection.  Everything on the card is from this fabulous collection, except the real bit of lace down the left side and the pearl dot on the ribbon.  Even the lace underneath the lace (lol) is off the CD.  Inked the edges and added a little dimension to the flowers with foam pads.

Christine I used Saucy Wedding Night   digi, I colored her with Spectrum Noir Markers and colored pencils.  The fold is one I found on Pinterest.  I used the cut files from the Work And Play 9-Love and Kisses Collection, and the papers from this wonderful set. I added some ribbon and lace on the folds of my card. 

Agnieszka - hello Crafters :) Today I want to share with you my card, which I prepared as an inspiration for Ribbons and Lace.  I  used pre-coloured image from Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses - Full Download Bundle.  As I love a lot of embellishments on my cards - it was a pleasure created this card. I added a big ribbon bow in purple, paper and fabric lace, a few flowers, cristals and dies cut - my card is ready, hugs.

Anna -  This time, I made an Easter card again, in shades of violet, with lace, ribbons, eggs and flowers. The card is made from paper from the Winston collection CD , more pics on my blog .

Lou: I have used one paper and oodles of embellies from the Octavia CD/download to create my card for this challenge. I had a great time fussy cutting all the pieces; it was so relaxing and rewarding. More photos can be found on my blog ...

Fabulous inspiration!
