So let’s see what the design team have made for us and to give you a little bit of inspiration all the design team’s makes this week are on a back to school theme….

Tanya - So for my make this week I have used the apple from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection which I've enlarged to make a shaped card and then used the sentiment and the books from the same collection to do some decoupage and then used the Dollie Goes East Backpack digi (available as black and white) or on the collection HERE and decoupaged her as well. Apple for the teacher? Well, I think so, don't you? More details on my blog.
Lori - For my make this week, I used the "Thinking of You" image from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection :) She looks deep in thought doesn't she?!

Fiki- this week I use image Make a list from Winnie Fruit Punch collection...
Jacki For my card I have used all elements from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection my card base is a tag that I printed onto card stack a cut out. The whole card is done on one layer the image and embellishments added to the tag before printing. A really easy card to make.

Jane S - So welcome to 'Underwater Academy' where Meribelle Housework is teaching her fishy pupils a little Maths. I have merged the gorgeous Meribelle with the pre-coloured blackboard from Work & Play 3 and added some very attentive aquatic 'kids', sentiment and backing paper from the Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles VIP Bundle. I think Meribelle looks very fetching in her teacher's spectacles that I have added from Sticks & Bones don't you?

Gail - For this weeks make, I had a little experiment creating drips with hot glue!! Think this technique will be effective for Halloween projects too. The canvas uses pre-coloured elements from the Science Bundle, or if want the complete collection you'll find the designs in Work and Play 12, available on CD-Rom or as an instant download.

Jane P.- This week kept me thinking....I have not had children in school for a long time so I decided to use Work & Play Collection 12 Lollipop Lady/Man School Crossing Patrol/Security Guard Bundle.

Monica.- Owls have always been related to wisdom and the seek of knowledge and what can be better for going back to school. For my make I used tunnel card template #5 included in Twiggy & Toots Owls. All the embellishments, even the alpha to make the "back to school" sentiment are also included in this adorable collection.

Julie - This week I have made a card to wish my Son luck as he enters year 2 - He will be in PINK class. He loves Maths and Science so I used the cute Science Geek. Image coloured with Copics.
Anjie -  This started out life as a plain Kraft chipboard. I used my go to collection for this make which of course is the fabulous Picknix 1 collection. You can also get this on CD should you wish HERE. Or in separate smaller collections HERE.  You can find more details of how I made this week's challenge on my blog together with more photos.
Nancy: For my card this week, I used a combination of products. From the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection, I used the Make a List Winnie image, the chalkboard tag, and the book stack. The background paper is from the Winston Collection.
Great makes from the DT and I’m sure you will agree that we have some great ideas for you this week!  Add your entry using the linky tool below....

So let’s see what the design team have made for us and to give you a little bit of inspiration all the design team have used something new to them….

Jane P.-Just loving this Summertime Collection.  I used the Serif Craft Artist app to create my card this week and printed it out on Ultimate Graphic Paper from the Polkadoodles store
Gail - For this weeks challenge, I've created an art journal page using the sunglasses from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles VIP collection, available as an instant download or on CD-ROM. I've also used stamps from the following stamp sets to add interest to the background - Lemonade Fizz, Lavender Tea & Magic Garden, full details over on my blog.
Fiki-on my card I use image Winnie and sentiment from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection.
AnjieI have used the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection (again). This is made using design sheet number 7 which you can buy on its own HERE. The "Something New" I have used is the postcard stamp which is from Wish You Were Here stamp set. More info and photos on my blog.

Julie - This week I have used the lovely Stamp Me - Summertime stamps and a cheap circle frame that I have covered in bling.


Lori - This week, I am using this cutie-patootie from Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime collection :) My "something new" part of my make is the background design papers - which you can find in this collection as well! Happy crafting!

Jane S – All the pre-coloured elements I have used for my DL card are from the stunningly pretty LEMONADE FIZZ COLLECTION which has the most delicious colour palette.  I have used some new dies too.  Well never been used anyway! Oops! Have a lovely crafty day! xxx
Monica.- Just by the end of Summer, I chose to use Summer time, a cd I have never used before. This cd is also available as a digital download. Air balloon, clouds, papers and sentimente, all were taken from this cd.

Jacki for my card I have use the Winnie in Wonderland download collection both images have not been used before and the style of card is new(ish)to me. The paper I used is from the same collection and I added sentiments,a large fussy bow with button a pearls to finish.
Nancy - For my card this week I have used Design Sheet 5 from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.
My "Use Something New" is a brand new cutting machine!
Tanya - For this week's make I've used one of the newer collections called Summertime CD which you can get here and I've created a card using some of the flowers which I resized in Craft Artist in three sizes and then cut out and layered them over one another.  The papers are also from the collection, as is the sentiment, which had been black and white chalkboard effect but I recoloured it to co-ordinate with the papers used.
Great makes from the DT and I’m sure you will agree that we have some great ideas for you this week!

So let’s see what the design team have made for us….this week they have all given you some 'monochromatic' inspiration...

Jacki : For my card I have made my usual 8x8" card blank and as it's a Monochrome theme I thought I would challenge myself and go red as it's one colour I struggle to blend and colour with. I used the papers and image and sentiment from the Winnie in Wonderland Collection....
Tanya This week I've grabbed a bunch of different shades of blue gel pens and coloured up one of the pretty butterfly sheets from the adult colouring collection called Colour Therapy Florabunda and then added glitter to the centres of the flowers and a few dots of Liquid Pearls in baby blue here and there. Hope you like it. The sentiment is from the Eden Collection.
Jane P- This week I chose an image from the Winnie in Wonderland Collection and layered him on papers from the same collection.
Gail - For this weeks challenge I've gone for some doodling in one of the fabulous Colouring Pages. This page is from Colouring Page Bundle 10, available as an instant download here.
Anjie - I have used the lush butterfly from the Little Kingdom collection. I used a honeycomb stencil and some distress inks to create the background and added a squiggly line with a black pen. I then used the same distress inks to colour the butterfly. I put the background on at an angle to draw the eye in more. I curled the wings of the butterfly and glued in place just on the body. More info and details on my blog.
Julie - I have made a fairly simple card this week using one of the beautiful new mermaids from Meribelle Mermaid in shades of Blue & Grey.
Lori - for my make this week, I created a very CAS design using Winston Bear in shades of brown - he's so darn cute! You can find the full collection HERE.
Jane S – Do you think I’ve used enough green!!! LOL What a fabulous image this is, one of my faves, and her name is ODDELLA BOW. She has some awesome sisters too and you can find them all HERE. The paper is from DOLLIE DAYDREAM GOES EAST. Have a lovely crafty day! xxx
Monica.-For this challenge I used one of the lovely mermaids included in Meribelle Mermaids Craft Stamps Bundle. To colour it, I used Spectrum Noir warm grey family. Papers are from Dollie Daydream Goes East Collection. Fishes and sentiment are from Winnie Starfish & Sandcastles 
Collection....
Nancy - For my monochromatic card I used Design Sheet 3 from the sweet Winston Collection. I fussy cut an extra butterfly and flower, and popped them up to add some dimension.

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


Nancy: For my shaped card I used items from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection. I started with the Dancing Queen digi with the fun frame around it. The frame determined the shape of my card. The background paper is from the kit, and so are the lovely flowers.
Fiki-on my card I use image Wishes and sentiment from Winnie Fruit Punch collection. The paper is from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection.
Jane P.- This week our team made Shaped cards and I decided to use the Lavender Tea Collection and cut out the lovely tea pot to create this weeks card.
Anjie - I used a scalloped circle die from Tattered Lace to create my card shape and then the mats and layers. I have then used a design sheet from the amazing Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection. I told you I loved it and would be using it lots lol I fussy cut everything out and mounted them all onto 3D foam to make them stand out. 
Jacki : For my card I decided to make a twisted easel card simply because I hadn't made one for an age and a half and really had the urge lol. I used papers from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection  I also printed out some little fishes and seahorses and used as embellies.The image I used  is from the Meribelle mermaid collection  which I  fussy cut out and added to some sand paper for added texture.
 Monica.-For my shaped card I used a mix ´n match from different collections. For the shaped card I used the Candy Village templates from Twiggy & Toots Festive Fun. Instead of making it for Christmas, I made it full of gorgeous flowers with papers, embellisments and sentiment from Lavender Tea Collection. And for a final tiny touch, I added the mailman owl from Twiggy & Toots Owls Collection.
Jane S – Go Karter GO!!!! And that’s what I have used on my card this week, the fab GO KARTER that I have duplicated, re-sized and merged to create a race! He is also available as part of the wonderful WORK AND PLAY 2 collection.  Have a lovely crafty day! xxx
Tanya -  This week I've made a card using the wonderful embellies and tags and a chalkboard sentiment from the pretty pretty Stamp Soup Magic Garden collection which you can get here as a stamp and CD collection or here as a CD only.  More pictures on my blog
