The DT's twist on the challenge theme is Traditional Christmas

and if you want to join in with that theme then go for it :-)

Please say a big hello to the newest member of our Design Team Tina Focking
If you get a moment why not go and check out her fabulous blog. Tina has created this fabulous make for you this week, check it all out below :-)

Tina - Today I give my debut in this fabulous design team.  I created a Christmas doily with Winnie Winterland - Yummy Gingerbread.  I´ve colored them with polychromos. The trees and the blue background paper come from the Winnie Winterland - Big Kahuna Bundle. I cut the rosette with the Cameo Plotter from white glitter paper. It looks as beautiful as shining snow. The edges I have easily distresst and then all layers with hot glue put together. Now the Doily can be hung on the wall or on a door. Please feel free to visit my Blog for more Photos.

And here's the rest of the amazing Design team makes this week :-)

Anjie - I have used the Twiggy and Toots Festive Fun Christmas collection which is just adorable. Just how cute is this little owl santa! Everything you see on the card is from the collection. I've slightly distressed the edges of the papers and image and added some faux stitching with a white pen. Everything is raised using 3D foam. More photos on my blog.

Michelle - I have made a Christmas Bauble using Winnie's Winterland Collection  This was fun to make I just resized all my images in word to the size I needed and then put it all together and used

some fake snow.

Tracy - Today I have used my favourite Christmas Collection - Festive Christmas. I wanted to add the Robin and use of flowers to surround the mailbox which is the focus. Once again lots of fussy cutting and adding distress ink to the edges to give it a more aged tradition look.

Lou - I have used the O Christmas Tree stamp set to create my huge poinsettia which I have coloured with distress inks. The petals were stamped and embossed in white first. backing paper is from the matching Festive Christmas CD.

Gail - I've used the beautiful Festive Christmas collection along with the some of the fab new dies, Flowers 1, Bubbleicious and Cherry Blossom Branch die sets.

Scatty Jan - This week am sharing a stocking that I made and decorated using Festive Christmas collection.

Bev here, with my take on a traditional Christmas to me that means good old green & red. I opted for the very useful Festive Christmas collection and cut out a few pre-coloured images & papers. I just added some bakers twine, a bell and a sentiment from my crafty stash.

Ruth - I've gone for a golden oldie this week - all the way back to Paper Boutique 2 - Creative Christmas.  Simply printed all the elements, cut them out and layered up with foam pads.  Great for something to do whilst watching Christmas films!

Claire C - I've made a quick card using the fabulous design sheets from Winnie Winterland, just adding ribbon, lace a charm and of course some glitter! 

Lots of fabulous creations to inspire you.

Our Winner and Top 3 of our Anything Goes Challenge Weeks 48/49 will be announced next Friday.

Now lets take a look at the fabulous creations this week... however we need to give a warm PD welcome to our newest PD DT team members; Jackie and Jessie.

Jackie - For the new challenge of using patterned paper I have made an easel card using the digi "Maddie With Present". She is such a sweetie! Details for colouring are on my blog.

Jessie -  I have used Winston Bear Etty Friends for this card and coloured her up with my inktense pencils. I have used 3 patterned papers, I tend to use lots and lots of layers on my cards so I even tried to keep it to a minimum this time. The white pannel actually has flowers and dots embossed on it even though the camera didn't pick it up very well. A little ribbon and some enamel dots finish off this card.

 

Naz - The image I have used here is a combination of three separate digis. The owl called HATS OFF TWIGGY is from Twiggy and Toots collection. BEAUTIFUL BIRDHOUSE 1 and the cat. I coloured the images with Copics and used foam adhesive to adhere it to the card. The Happy Birthday sentiments that I have used are also from Polkadoodles. To finish off the card I added some stitching for embellishment.

Ria- hi, this week I am showing you Snow White coloured with pencils. I created the card with the Eden Collection. 

Hi Bev here with my idea for 2 or more papers. I browsed through my Polkadoodles collection and decided to go back a fair way..... to Paper Boutique 2 Creative Christmas Collection there are some fabulous ideas and templates on this collection. Feel free to pop over to my blog to see how I achieved this look.

Anita -  Hi there today for my 2 papers or more inspiration I used the fabulous Work and play 11 and the skater girl image is available Here.. The papers are super lush and I have used 3 different ones, plus the awesome skull cutting file.

Jenny - I have had a mix of collections for my card this week, my two patterned papers came from Dollie Daydream Goes East and my topper is from the Serenity collection.

Yvonne - I had a wee break but missed my teamies so much I snuck back into the team when Nikky wasn't looking! It was inevitable that my first make back was going to be Serenity. I used Serenity Butterfly which you can get as a single digi image or as part of the digi download collection. Serenity is also available as a CD-Rom too. I used one of Nikky's Frame Digi Files, this is Frame 1.  I used one of the papers from Serenity and one of the papers from the Distressed Wood collection.  The sentiment is from the Serenity Collection and the flowers are from Octavia Moonfly Collection.

Wendy - You'd expect having to use patterned papers would make your project look quite busy, well I've gone down a different track and done a clean & simple card. All aspects of my card are from the Twiggy and Toots collection. You can also all the papers as a separate bundle here and the butterfly, which is part of the embellies bundle, can be bought here.

Anjie - I have used the Oddella with Bag digi, and papers from the Octavia Collection. I have coloured Oddella in with my Graph'It Markers.

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 Add some Embossing challenge next Friday.

Have a great week!
