Now onto our DT inspiration for this week.... 

 Jenny - Well, Clash of Colours for this challenge and yes it certainly was!  So far from my comfort zone but lots of fun, I've used a digi and backing papers from the Dollie Daydream Girl Talk Collection, full details on my blog.

Bev here with another fabulous challenge. I think I may have gone a bit overboard with the clashing but hey it's all about having fun, right? I used the wonderfully versatile Sugarplum Daisy CD Rom. I used the papers to make a wacky/clashy background and then coloured a couple of the digi bees (soooo cute!) with my blendable pencils. The sentiment is also from the same CD. Just a couple of die cut circles & some handmade flowers complete my design.

Yvonne - For this challenge I opted to use Frederika - Billie Sporty which can be found on the Frederika Mini Collection, for the challenge theme of 'Clash of Colours', I opted to use orange and purple. I found the perfect papers to use in the Polkadoodles Shop in the Digiworld Downloadable Section and I used the papers from the Witchie Witchie 2013 Download Bundle.  The car is from the Digi Download Collection, the sentiment is from the same collection. I die cut some flowers and added gems and ribbon from my stash.

Katie - Hello there well I thought this challenge would be difficult but I had to stop myself! I could have gone on forever. I used Dollie Daydream Goes East Digi Stamp and for the backing paper I used Work & Play 3  I then used handmade embellishments and Lace. Cannot wait to see all your ideas, have fun and Keeeeeeeeeeep Crafting Katie XX

Sue hi this challenge is clash of colours. I used  Dollie Daydreams Girl talk I coloured up Dollie Daydream in pink and red with my copic's. I cut base card with Go Kreate die  and used the papers from same cd. Flowers I made with same backing paper and sentiments also from cd

                                                        

Anjie - On my card the image is from the fabulous Work & Play collection 4 and is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. The papers are from the Dollie Daydream Goes East CD and the Sugarplum Daisy CD. The beach hut and postcard are both Tattered Lace Dies. The sentiment, swirls and hearts are all from the Premium Craft Brands Postcard Stamp Set. I have distressed the edges of the papers, die cuts, sentiment, swirls and image with the Violet Pan Pastel. Finally I added some faux stitching around the edges.

Susan - .I thought I would make a tag ,so I covered it with this amazing Lime Green paper from Bonbon Belles I just love this shade its so jucey and makes your mouth water .I have also used one of the digi from the same CD and coloured her with my amazing Graph'it Markers.

Asha - I'm going with something quick and easy to make from one my all time favourite CDs - Sugar Birdies. It's the very first CD, one that launched the entire range of lovely crafty goodness. With googlie eyes and bling. it would make a fun little birthday card for any age.

Claire C I went for a combination of red and green for my clash and these colours are perfect for a Christmas project. I've made a book card using some of the gorgeous papers and design sheets from Festive Hollybobs, the digital stamp is from the same collection and I've coloured her with Graph'It Markers

Jenny here with my take on Add a Twinkle, this comes from the latest cd Work and Play Festive Hollybobs, even the name is fab!  Full details are on my blog.

Sue - This weeks challenge is  Add A Little Twinkle I have used a pre coloured image called snowball  from the new Polkadoodles cd Work and Play Festive Hollybobs.  I have matted on white card  and distressed the edges with ink.  The background papers are from the cd too.  And I have used the papers to make banner and bow then added some glitter and pearls.

Sandie - Add a little Twinkle gave me a chance to do something different and play a little.....I used the digi image from Festive Hollybobs Work and Play collection CD as my main focus and coloured it with my Graph'it Marker pens ..a totally different look on craft card!!!! I added twinkle in the form of gold flaked frame and then added lots of lovely embellies including the hearts and post card which are also on the Festive Hollybobs CD.  Take a look at my blog for full details and lots of picture of this one as its hard to see the fabulous look of the markers in the full shot.  Happy Christmas in July and keep crafting..Sandie x

Bev here with my take on this week's challenge. I've used the brilliant new 'Work & Play Hollibobs' CD there are so many cute little characters to choose from I opted for the penguin,  layered him up a little and added some glitter for the 'twinkle'. The papers, sentiment and snowflakes are all on the cd too. Making my Christmas cards is going to be so much fun this year.

Yvonne - Hi everyone! This weeks 'Add Twinkle' was far too exciting for me - when Nikky sent through the amazingly gorgeous new 'Work & Play Hollibobs Collection', there were squeals and clapping of hands and general drooliness from all the team!! For this weeks challenge, I decided to decorate a medium sized white (boring) paper bag. Using the FABULUSH new collection, I picked a backing paper, a pre coloured digi stamp and a pre coloured embellishment. Add a little bit of ribbon and some glitter......done! What else do you need, Nikky has done all the hard work for you and you can make simple yet stunning projects!!

Katie not long now till the nights start drawing in! So better get to thinking about Christmas. I have made this card with the Hollybobs Work & Play Collection. I cannot wait to see what great creations you come up with have fun and Keeeeeeeeeeep Crafting Katie DT xx

The winners of our Week 24/25 Over the Rainbow

will be announced at the end of this post.

Ruth: I've used a fab image from the Work and Play Collection 2 and coloured him with Promarkers. The papers are also from the same cd and I've added some X Cut stars. The die cut letters I've had for an age in my stash and to make them a bit more interesting I've added a black dotted line around the edges and covered them with glossy accents.

Anjie - On my card the image, papers, embellishments and sentiment ticket are all from the Work & Play Collection CD 1. I have coloured the image with my Graph'It Markers. The rolled roses at the bottom right are made from the same papers. The rest of the embellies are from my stash. More info on my blog....

Yvonne - Hi there and Happy 4th July to our crafty friends across the pond! I love the theme for this challenge and had great fun making this 7x7 card. I chose to use the gorgeous image of  Lewis from the Pretty Tuff Cd Rom or you can get him as a digi download. I adore this image and printed him out as a digi and coloured him with my Graph'It Markers (details of markers used on my blog).  I used two papers from the digi bundle Ruth because they are just perfect for this theme.  I ran the blue spot paper through with an embossing board to add texture, I really love the effect it gives.  I cut Lewis out with a Tattered Lace die and used Blue Tint Pan Pastel to soften the white, but I left the outer frame white to give contrast. I added star gems to tie in with the theme.  I hope you like it! 

Sue - Hi here is my card for the red white and blue challenge. I have used Casey from the pretty tuff cd rom.  I coloured him with copic pens . I used backing papers from  work and play cd 4. Sentiment i printed from Dollie goes East cd. Embellishments I had in my own stash. I mat and layered Casey onto red card. Layered papers on red card too. Added layers at a jaunty angle and added sentiment and embellishments....

- Sandiie  Hello all, I'm excited about this challenge and red, white and blue made me think of shopping!  So I used the main images from the Dollie Daydream Girl Talk CD rom and used a mix of the pre-coloured image of Dollie shop with the non-coloured shop image.  The shop was coloured with my beloved Graph'it Marker Pen's (full colour details on my blog).  With some added flowers and icon images from the CD rom I think she looks like she's having a fabulous day out! Happy crafting!

Bev here with my take on the 'Red, White & Blue' Challenge. I used the postman digi from Work & Play 4  I coloured  him in with Graph'it Markers. The papers are also from the same Cd. I scaled down some of the digi letters/envelopes to create a border and made my own sentiment.

Katie here wishing all my American Friends a Happy Independence Day. I will be having an all American Cook out (if the weather is nice!). Well I thought I would have American Glamour but with a British Twist so here is my inspiration for this week. I used the image from Dollie Daydream. I cannot wait to see all your great creations, have a great day and Keeeeeep Crafting Katie DT xx

Jenny here with my first challenge of red, white and blue. I have used the Dollie Daydream Girl Talk cd for my images which have been coloured with a mixture of Graph it pens and Promarkers. I hope our designs inspire you to join us and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Claire C  I've made a card using one of my favourite images from Work and Play 4 Collection, I've coloured her with my Graph'It markers and created the background using PanPastels. I've used backing papers from the same cd and used the scraps to make some bunting and roses
