Now lets take a look at the fabulous creations this week...

Ruth:  I've made a tee-pee card for a work colleague who will shortly be going on maternity leave and its big enough for all the office to sign.  Papers are from the Twiggy and Toots CD and I've used a Sizzix die for the cute elephant and a Spellbinder frame.

Naz - The stamp I have used for this project is called " Serenity EarthStar" and it is part of Serenity Fairy Wishes Bundle.

This beautiful Collection is and Amazing Value and includes stunning Digital Stamps both coloured and black and white, papers as well as sentiments.

Anjie - The image, papers and embellies are all from the Octavia Frosted Winter collection which is available as a digital download or CD, or you can even buy all the elements separately. The image is coloured with my Grpah'It Markers as is the background. For my die cuts I have used the clock dies from Marianne. More details and photos on my blog.

Julie I used an image from the Serenity Fairy Wishes Digital Download Collection.  This is Serenity Earthstar, available individually here.   The sentiment ticket is from the same Serenity Fairy Wishes Collection.  Since I wanted a Fall Fairy, I used papers from the Witchie Witchie 2013 Craft Download Bundle.  Of course, I used dies on this.  There are 3 of them, used to showcase the image.

Bev here with the oh so cute Etty she's on the fab Winston Collection, I used one of the design sets with a few different backing papers, some ink, glitter, ribbon & lace. You may have to look hard as my die cut is one of my layers Can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

Claire C I've used lots of elements from the gorgeous Picknix Nordic Winter Collection (you can find it here) to create this acetate card. I don't use a lot of die cuts in my crafting but I've dusted off my cuttlebug and added some die cut icicles to the top of my card. To save time I've used pre-coloured elements from the collection, isn't the snowman adorable?

Penny here, this week was all about me putting colour to paper and using an image I wouldn't normally use.  I grabbed my kits and found this lovely Cupcake from Picknik 1, combined with some patterned papers from Work and Play 3, and Work and Play 4.   Clean and simple and the image was made to pop!  My dies are in the matting, circle and banners.

What fantastic makes from the team

Scatty Jan - Ohhhh girly but no pink there's a challenge I just love using Pink. I decided to colour up Eden Cherryblossom part of the Eden collection, The sentiment is also from there, but also as a digi here. I coloured up using polychromos. The Paper is from Dollie Daydream goes East and I have punched the flowers out of the same.

Asha - I'm a little bit country this week! This simple card is made using papers, sentiment and an image from the Work and Play 10 Country Life Full Digital Craft Collection. I coloured the Dog Walking Country Lady with Faber Castell Polychromos and added 3 buttons as embellishment. This image is also available as a download digi.

Penny - At a recent retreat a friend and I were talking about cards for teachers and making this a little bit different and individual.  I coloured up the Teacher Digi from Work and Play 3 and combined her with some of the digi papers from the kit to create the cute little blackboard frame.

Karon - For my card this week, I chose to use the fabulous female golfer, off one of the design sheets, from the wonderful Work and Play 11 Collection.  I printed her out several times and then layered her up pyramid style.  I made a Z-Fold card and all the papers, sentiments, are from this wonderful collection, it's also available as and instant download.  The image is available as in individual download Female Golfer.

Cheremane - Oh what a challenge this is for me as I adore girly but always use pink so it was a nice refreshing change not to.  I used the fabulous Work and Play 11 Cd to create my card and used the
pre-coloured Gymnast isn't she adorable, you can also get her as a single Digi if you choose. Trust me though you will want the whole collection its fab and super for so many occasions.

Agnieszka - hello Crafters :)Today  I've used Work and Play 10 for my card this week,  something girly but no pink! I used pre-coloured image - isn't she is so cute ;) I love this colour combo and I think that green and blue is also suit to girly project. I added some flowers and pearls. Hugs

Lou: I've gone all "grungy" for my girl inspired card and have used lots of elements from Bonbon Belles to create my card. Added some "bling" to lift the colours and used my GraphIt gold glitter shaker pen to highlight the words.
