 Jacki - For my card I have gone completely out of my comfort zone and gone in another direction totally to my usual cards (but boy did I have fun) I hae made a dainty 4½ x 6½" card using papers from the Beau paperie collection I then used embellishments (dress and butterflies) from the Summertie collection and the Winston collection. The chipboard frame and dressmaker dummy are from my stash.

Ruth -  I've gone big and bold this week - I've made a shaped number card using my own templates and a paper from the Frederika Mini CD Collection plus two wooden skewers  and I've made the bunting myself plus added some star die cuts.

Helen - So the DT are making anything but a square card. Now I know our Nikki has some fabby templates so I went to Lavender Tea and hey presto there was a beautiful flowerpot and I had to do some colouring to so what better that a Darling Buds this little beauty is crocus. You can find everything at the store here http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/lavender-tea-printables-cd-rom-craft-scrapbooking-collection/ and here http://www.polkadoodles.co.uk/the-darling-buds-big-bundle-digital-craft-digi-stamp-downloads/

Pauline - I decided to create a Side Step Card for this weeks challenge. I used the gorgeous Just For You Winnie stamp from the Winnie Sugar Blossom Stamp & Paper Pad Boxed Gift Set. I teamed her up with papers from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Download Bundle.  The sentiment and flowers are also from the Winnie Sugar Sprinkles Springtime Download Bundle.

Carol - For my DT inspiration this week, I have made a cute Easter basket featuring Helga and filled it with delicious goodies.

CreativEle - My love for Helga Collection brings me for this new project to create a card box.
I have used one of  the 28 printable sheets and digi HELGA is colored with my worn out pencils.

Karon - I have used the wonderful Belle Papillon Collection for my shaped easel card.  I love all the papers, floral elements and beautiful butterflies in this wonderful set.  I also used the versatile Flower Flourish Die.

Lisa - For my 'Anything but Square' make I have made a shaped card and decorated it with stamping, papers and dies from the Belle Papillon Paper Craft Kit and an oval from the Bubbleicious Frames die set.

Here is some fab inspiration from the team...

Scatty Jan Using one of my favourite ever collections Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles , I have made a little (large) gift shop , stocked full of lovely seaside tat treasures. The Brick paper is from Work & Play 2 and the wooden paper is from the Distressed Wood paper collection - Lots more details and photo's on my blog xx

 

Claire C  For my DT project I've made a little concertina book with a stampbord cover using stamps from Tropical Underworld and coloured them with Graph'It Markers. I've stamped the images with Memento Inks and added distress inks in blues and green. The stampbord cover was then triple embossed with clear UTEE....

                                        

Anjie - I have made a door sign for our new summer house for this weeks challenge, using an MDF plaque. I used one of the plainer papers from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection as a back ground. I then used the Tropical Oceans stamp set to stamp some background images onto the paper. I then stamped the porthole and the beach hut. Finally I used a few of the MDF pieces from the Nautical large MDF embellies set Lots more info and photos on my blog.

Tracy -  So I have the perfect excuse to play with the wonderful Meribelle collection. I used the image  called  Swimming around.  I had a chance to sit down, relax, music on and colour with copics and finished off with prisma pencils to make picture pop out.

Michelle I have used Starfish and Sandcastles Collection for my project what else would I use 

for by the seaside theme I used papers, embellishments, creatures and image from the collection 

for the image I used Copics to colour...

Bev here with my seaside creation for you using a pre coloured topper from the oh so useful Bonbon Belles. I run along the beach 3 times a week so used the colour scheme I see as my inspiration.

Katrina - I've made a little canvas using the beach hut digi stamp from the Summertime collection and the fence/shoreline digi from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles. I resized and arranged them in Craft Artist before printing onto tissue paper. This was glued onto the canvas and I painted over the top with acrylics.

Fabulous inspiration by the Design Team!

Our Winner, Top 3 and Feathers for our Anything Goes Challenge 30/31
will be announced at the end of this post

Here is some fab inspiration from the team...
Nikky...I don't get to join in very often but this week I managed...and I've used this lovely Mirabelle Mermaid image called Swimming Around from Polkadoodles Meribelle collection. I decided to turn her upside down as if she was floating around in the ocean...

Scatty Jan I had lots of fun making these simple trio of cards. I used two of the lovely stamps from the Daisydays collection. For my texture I used embossing folders. Lots more photo's and info on my blog xx

Anjie - I've used the Tropical Paradise Flamingo clear stamp set. I stamped onto my colouring card with a clear Versamark embossing ink, then added clear embossing powder over it and heat set it all. I then used 4 distress inks to create the background. This really makes the clear embossing pop and adds great texture. I then stamped and created the message topper in the same way. I added my squiggly line around the edges and mounted the sentiment using 3D foam pads. Finally I stamped some flowers and foliage, coloured them and added some pearls in the centre and glued in place. More info on my blog.

Tracy - I decided for my textured card to use this image from Winston Bear collection. It has many layers that adds texture and 3d look. If your into fussy cutting you will love this collection!

Katrina - As the start of the new term is only a few weeks away I've made a back to school card. I've used the pre-coloured version of the teacher image from the Work and Play 3 CD, and for the greeting I've used a stamp from the Sensational Sentiments set. I've added texture with an embossing folder that has an alphabet design, to fit in with the school/college theme.

Michelle For my project I have used the Winnie in Wonderland Collection I have used a digital image called I'm Late I have also used Design sheet 7 and the Ephemera embellishments and to add my texture I used Modelling paste and distressing tool...

Bev for my make this week I decided to give mixed media another shot. Its always a way of adding plenty of layers and texture. I used the Daisydays Stamp Me set as my main focal point and the background is a mixture of texture paste, acrylic paint, stamps & diecuts.

Claire C I've made a canvas using one of the digis from the Winnie in Wonderland Collection. I've coloured her with my Graph'It Markers and layered her up over one of the beautiful papers and lots of embellies from the same collection (you can find it here as a CD or here as a download). I've added lots of texture with glossy accents on the embellies, black gesso around the edges, some stencilling using glassy gel medium mixed with red acrylic paint and a border made of glitter.

Anita - I loved adding texture on my make this week using the fabulous Summertime clear stamps, My texture was embossing , Hessian, Lace, Cheese cloth, Distressed edges, wooden elements, Die cuts , Fibres and Twine. I had another play with water colours thank you nikky for introducing them too me.

Fabulous inspiration by the Design Team.

Here are more fantastic creations from the team

Tracy - Something a bit different from me this time, an art journal page for our Summertime challenge.  I have printed out and fussy cut a heap of different images from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection.

Michelle -  I had so much fun with this one.  When I think Summer, a nice cold cocktail comes to mind.  I have used the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection, using embellishments, paper, sentiment and digital image coloured with alcohol markers.  The cocktail glasses I enlarged to fit with my project and the butterfly I made a bit smaller, this is the beauty of these collections you can make them any size you like :-)

Anita - I went way out of my comfort zone on my Summer Time creation and had a dabble with watercolouring without a brush !! I used the Summer Time Collection  to create my scene using the lovely digital images.

Scatty Jan When I think of Summer I think of all the lovely flowers , so my project this week reflects that. My cards have matching envelopes too (more pics on my blog) I have used  for the pink card - papers from  Lemonade Fizz - The purple card papers from Lavender Tea - The blue card papers from Octavia Moonfly. The sentiment stamps you can find here

Katrina - I've used part of a sentiment, some papers and a digistamp from the fabulous Starfish and Sandcastles VIP XXL Collection. Winnie is coloured with Promarkers and I've added sequins and some mesh ribbon to finish.

Anjie - For this card I have used a flower from the new Tropical Paradise Flamingo clear stamp set, and a sentiment from the new Oceania clear stamp set. I've coloured the image with Pickled Raspberry and Pine Needles distress inks. I've then cloured over the whole background with the Pickled Raspberry ink and added the usual squiggly black line with a fine liner.

Ruth:  I've made a cute pillow box with papers from the Lily Bug Love paper collection - its really easy to make as long as the lines are scored in the right places!  To finish, I've made a double pin wheel, added a half pearl to the centre and used some ribbon from my stash to add a bow.

Bev here with a summertime floral creation made using Cherryblossom Lane collection. I just adore the watercoloured look of these pre coloured flowers. and used one of the A5 inserts as my actual card base. This collection is just so versatile.

Claire C Flowers and birds are perfect for our summer theme so i've used some of the beautiful new stamps Tropical flowers 1 and Tropical Paradise Flamingo for my card

Fabulous inspiration by the Design Team, there are some real WOW projects here this week! Great work, teamies!

Helen -  Just love the Summertime, have we had any yet in the good old UK.  Well our Winnies has and she's enjoying a bit of time in the garden.  She's from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection which you can find on CD or as a download in the store.  I've coloured her with copics and used papers and embellies from the collection to make a scene.

Karon - Summertime, I always think of the beautiful flowers that adorn our gardens during summertime, as I live in Canada most of our gardens are under snow 5 months of the year!  I just had to use the beautiful collection Dollie Daydream Goes East Collection for my card this week.  I layered the flowers and added a sentiment panel to the centre and a little bow to finish off.

Shelagh - My Summertime project is a wedding horse-shoe, made with my Great-niece in mind who is an attendant at her Aunt's wedding, late summer.  Everything I used was from the Winnie Fruit Punch collection, 2 circle dies, ribbon and some self adhesive pearls.

Alysha - My summertime project is a card with the gorgeous Winnie from the recent release Starfish and Sandcastles.

Tammi has used the lovely Winnie Fruit Punch collection to make her sweet card....

Pauline This gorgeous image is from theWinnie Fruit Punch collection , I have used elements from the Design Sheets, Papers, Blooms and Embellies sections.

Carol Today I've been stamping with the fabulous Summertime and Daisydays stamp sets and made a fun pop up slider card in warm summery colours.

Lisa My Summertime make uses elements and papers from the Winnie Fruit Punch Collection in pretty summery colours. Instead of an image I've layered up the butterfly as the focal point along with the fabulous sentiment.

Lovely creations to inspire you all with our Summertime challenge! 

Have a great weekend everyone. Thanks for sharing your creations with us, we love coming to visit and appreciate you taking part in our challenges.
