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.

Aren't they gorgeous!

The papers are super lush with amazing texture seeing is believing, 
I coloured with alcohol markers and enhanced with polychromos pencils. 

Ria- Here is my card for the Girly but no Pink challenge I used the gorgeouss Eden Collection to create my card. I created this all digital card so I only need to print it on cardstock when I need it and send it off and I can print off more then 1 hahahaha sometimes it is really easy for when you need a quick card and have nothing in stock.... for those forgotten birthday's. I coloured Eden with Markers and enhanced with pencils.

Jenny - I've used Work and Play 10 for my card this week, fancy having something girly but no pink! Well I managed it with the help of the little girl and cats coming in from the milking. 

Anjie - The image I have used is Oddella Fairy and is coloured with my Graph'It Markers. The papers and embellies are from the Eden Collection, which is also available in smaller collections HERE. 

Wendy - On this weeks card I've used the fabby Odella with bag from the Ickyinks. The flowers and the senitment scroll are from the Dollie Goes East collection. The backing papers are also from this collection, the green mat is from the papers section, however the patterned paper is actually from the inserts section, just cut down and stretched to fit using Craft Artist.

Claire C  I've used this gorgeous image from the Octavia Moonfly Collection (available as a download here or as a cd here) , you can also buy her as an individual digis stamp 'Octavia Moonfly Washing Day'. I've coloured her with my Graph'It markers and just added some ribbon, gems and a pretty rose button from my stash.
