So let’s see what the design team have made for us.

Scatty Jan  For todays Purple project I have used the Eden collection and coloured up Eden Fairy Wings also available as a digi here. I have coloured up using polychromos. The Paper used and all the elements are all from the lovely collection.


Monica The new "Work & Play 11 Collection" has the perfect papers, elements and characters to fulfill this challenge. I made a strech card with the lovely little skulls purple papers. To decor my card front, I used the perfect precoloured image "Female Skateboarding, Skateboarder" (I love all the shading and bright Nikky add to precoloured images). The little skulls and the skateboard are also included in the collection, as well as the grungy sentiment.


Dawn:  I have used Octavia Moonfly Friendly Hugs, which comes as part of the Octavia Moonfly CD here or a separate digital stamp here. The sentiment comes from Twiggy & Toots CD.


Tanya: So I'm back feeling refreshed after three weeks off and for this week's challenge I've opted to use one of the coloured digis from the Eden Collection called Eden Blossoms which I've printed off several times and decoupaged her and used some of the papers from the collection as well and the Scrabble Tiles from the Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses Collection.  


Lynda: I love making cards with my favorite colours :-) x The digi I used is called Poppy. isn't she pretty!  The flower embellishments and papers are all from the Cherry Blossom lane  collection which is available on CD here. Have fun xx 


Emma - For my Pretty in Purple card i have used the gorgeous Octavia Moonfly Unicorn who can be found Here, I have coloured her up using Copics & have added some liquid pearls. All of the papers & embellishments are from the Octavia Moonfly collection which can be found as a download Here or on CD Here.


KateI used the pretty pre-coloured Gymnast image from the Work & Play 11 Collection along with papers, sentiment, paper bow & flowers all from the same collection. I love the fact that everything in the Work & Play Collections all work so well with together and that you really don't need anything other than a card blank, glue & scissors in order to create something beautiful.



Julie - I decided to make a gift box, purple is my favourite colour so I really enjoyed this challenge.  It's a pizza box style box, made using one sheet A3 card.  The gorgeous image is called Cinders and it's from Work and Play 9 Love and Kisses download, also available on a CD and singly as an outline image HERE
The polka dot paper is from the same Download and the other purple pattermed paper is from Dollie Goes East Download/CD

 
 

Jane – Hi everyone!  So I went for a stepper card this week and for some inexplicable reason decided to colour my image, the gorgeously cool Kawaii, as a Zombie!!! Don’t ask! J The papers and sentiment come from the Dollie Daydream Goes East Bundle which contains the most beautiful papers imaginable. Enjoy your day! xxx

Wendy - For this weeks project I've digitally created the design and transferred it onto a candle. The pre-coloured image is from new Serenity collection, you can also get Serenity Joyful as a digi here. The sentiment is also from this collection, but again you can get the sentiment bundle on its own here. The background is made from one of Nikkys new Distressed Wood papers and I've recoloured it in purple using Craft Artist.


Yvonne - Hello there! For this challenge I have used Oddella Bow image, which you can get here.  I have coloured her with my polychromos pencils.  The papers I used are from the NEW Serenity Collection - which is just DREAMY!!!!


Anjie - I have used the female decorator, papers and embellies from the Work and Play 11 full download collection. You can also buy her as an individual digi HERE. I have used my Prismacolour pencils to colour this in.
Great makes from everyone I’m sure you will agree.

The winner and top 3 for week 17 can be found at the bottom of this post.


So let’s see what the design team have made for us.

Scatty Jan This week I have used the lovely Maddie twirling curls digi stamp you can find her here, is'nt she a cutie! Loved colouring her , this time I coloured using Polychromos. The backing papers used are from the Cherryblossom Lane CD collection. I have cut the bow and punched some flowers out using the papers too . Adding some gems to finish.

Julie This week I thought I would make a slider box using the wonderful Winston Download
As you open the box, a secret panel containing your message pops out of the top 
The gorgeous image is called Etty Mailbox, the pretty Kraft paper is under the Kraft paper section on the Winston CD or Craft Download but there are lots more beautiful papers included. All I have added are 4 brown pearls, a piece of brown ribbon to be able to pull the drawer out and I've used Sue Wilsons Dotty Itty Bitty Bow die to make a bow from the same Kraft paper that I had already used to decorate the box...

 


KateI wanted to do something a bit different this week and decided I was going to make a male card to add my bow to so I used the super sweet 'Birthday Mail' from the 'Twiggy & Toots' Collection. The papers and sentiment are also from Polkadoodles & I think the whole thing works well as card for a man...

Dawn I needed a wedding card this week, so of course I used Bride & Groom from the Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses CD, which can be bought as a digital stamp here or the CD is here

Monica I used the beautiful papers and  the gorgeous bows included in Work & Play 9.-Love and Kisses and the lovely Landlady/barmaid, to make a wineglass lampshade.



Jane – Hi everyone!  I decided to use paper bows for my creation this week as it makes a fab change to ribbon.  There are so many gorgeous bows included in Nikky’s collections and I used the ones found on the Work and Play 9 – Love and Kisses Download Bundle which also includes this adorable Love and Kisses image that can be bought separately too. Enjoy your day! xxx


Wendy - For my Add a Bow card, I've added a few bows! All the bows are pre-sized from the bows section of the Eden Collection. The backing paper and the frame are also from this collection. The image Eden - Butterflies is also available on her own here as a digistamp, however I've used the pre-coloured image from the full collection to get perfect replication for the decoupage.


Yvonne - Hello there everyone! Well I decided for my challenge this week, I would tackle Octavia Moonfly because she is gorgeous and I haven't coloured her before. She is available as a separate digi image or as part of the collection, which you can get as a digi download or as a CD-Rom.  I have coloured her with my polychromos pencils and used papers from the collection also. I die cut some flowers and butterflies as embellishments from the same papers. I then used a die bow to complete the challenge. 

Lynda: Hi everyone! Thanks for joining is for our' add a bow' challenge. I love this pretty digi. her name is Cielle the geek.  The papers and sentiment are from the Work&Play 10 Country Life collection, you can buy it as a digital download or on a CD. Have fun xx


Anjie - The image I have used is the new Oddella Heart, these are from Nikky's darker side, aren't they fun!  More Oddellas can be found HERE. The papers are from the Octavia Moonfly Paper Heaven 4 bundle. I have coloured her with my Graph'It Markers.

So let’s see what the design team have made for us...

Scatty Jan Oh such a fabulous collection Twiggy and Toots CD also as a download here - I have used one of the lovely owls I love this one with her little bag just on out for a stroll. All the papers and elements used are from the collection I just added in some pearls to the flower centers. i adore making these types of cards so much to see. The cloud background paper is one that will definatly be getting a lot of use.
Yvonne - I love the Eden Collection and for this challenge I thought that the image 'Blossoms' would be perfect for Flower Power.  I made a 7x7 card using papers from Work & Play 10 and from Twiggy & Toots Collection.   The paper bow is from the Work & Play 10 Collection.
Julie - I'm so pleased to be back on the team and making cards again, after taking a little time off for health reasons - I love the Octavia Moonfly Download Collection and decided to make a scalloped circle spinner card using Octavia Moonfly Rose Garden in the centre The flowery paper and the actual 2 layer flower, which spins all the way around the circle, is also from the Octavia collection available as a CD or Digi Download.  I have used silver mirri in the channel as I find that things spin better when on mirri card...
Wendy - Lots and lots of flowers on this table centrepiece. I've used four different papers and a journalling tag from  the Octavia Moonfly collection and cut using my Silhouette (although you could do it by hand but much slower!).

The digi is "Eden Window" included in the same collection and also available individually here.
Kate- Hello, I used the beautiful Octavia Best Friends image this week and went for a, icy purple, grey & blue colour scheme, with some lovely paper flowers, organza ribbon & delicate heart die cut in purples & white to complete my project
Dawn I took some colouring away with me when I went on holiday last month & used this image Roses from the Love & Kisses CD,  Added paper, ribbon, pearls & of course flowers to match the image colours.
