So, let's see what the Design Team have made for us today...

Nikky...I want to share a journal I made which is using the Creative Doodles collection here... I used an A5 piece of greyboard and then tore other random pages and layered them all slightly smaller. In the pic it looks like one page but it's actually 4 different ones made from different card and paper.

 The sheet in the middle is actually pleated rice paper although you cant really see it on the photo as there's a lot going on. I used the stamps and matching card packs and just cut and stamped a few pieces out, finishing off with the Alphabet stencil and stamp set which I just adore.

Products I used were:
Creative Doodles Collection

Corry This  time I've made a butterfly card.  I used distress inks for the background. I stamped the flowers and the hearts on the card and blended the flowers with chlorine....

After I stamped I have colored the butterflies.

I cut them out and glued them on the card

I placed some glitter in the heart of the flowers

the product I've used are

belle-papillon-a5-large-clear-stamp-set

brighter-with-you-clear-stamp-set

Jane - For my make this time I have created a Spanish/flamenco dancer using some of the fabulous Polkadoodles stamps and stencils.

Polkadoodles Goodies Used

Believe in Angels Clear Stamp Set

Flower Power 1 Clear Stamp Set

Creative Angel 6x6 Stencil

Fanciful Circles Die Set

Terry: I have created a card with using inks with all kind of colors for the background, I stamped some fabulous flowers from the Stampset Brighter With You on top of my background and used different kinds of small stamps from the set Every Wish in the World to fill up the blanks in between the flowers. Then I colored  the whole card with purple acrylic paint. I uncovered the flowers and played some more with white splatters acrylic paint and the Graph'It White Pen. Last but not least I placed the sentiment from the Clearstamp set Hello Friend....

I worked with the following Polkadoodles products:

Every Wish in the World Clear Stamp Set

Hello Friend Clear Stamp Set

Gorgeous projects as always! Thanks team, you're awesome!

You get a very nice effect if you use chlorine.I also stamped a few small flowers and used a white pen to make the flowers jump out. Finally, I stamped a sentiment on the card. And my project was finished.

Now let's check out the inspiration from our talented design team...

GDT Katrina For me, all paths lead to the barn/manger animals for Christmas Eve!  This adorable angel is called Little Tree and she and her little lamb are so perfect traveling off to the barn with her lantern for the evening.  
These Angels are available in a Big Kahuna Full Winnie Angel Set, a Big Kahuna Colored Winnie Angel Set, and a Big Kahuna Digi Stamp Winnie Angel Set.  I chose to work with the digital stamp and color her with Copic markers and gel pens.  
The gorgeous paper is from Belle Papillon.  The path is made of letters from Sticks and Bones and the beautiful lyrics are from Winnie in Winterland.  
Barn paper is Painted Wood.  The barn is actually the church (with some modifications) from Love and Kisses!  
I added some stamping, laces, burlap, twine, star embellishments, splatter painting, button, crocheted flower, and inks from my stash.

  
Jan I have recently discovered my love for canvas's ~For this one I painted over with Ecoline's , then using rice paper and stamps , a script stamp , Stencil with Oxides ,some glass buttons, a few pearls. I made the hanger from flower wire , made a paper dress and attached a flower and some bling
