So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  We welcome Jane Brown as a Guest Designer for the next three months!

Ruth:  I've used Gaming Boy which I've coloured with Promarkers.  All the papers are from my stash and I've used some random bits that I found as I am trying really hard to use up all that I have printed in the past!  I've lightly distressed the edges and added some X Cut star dies to finish it off.


Hello, Billie A here with my card using the image "Sight seeing Paris".  I thought since she's on a vacation I would used the Taylored Expressions postage die and cut her out. I then found this awesome Moda Scrap designer paper. I colored the image with copics and went lightly over the scene structures. The sentiment is from Club Scrap. 


Helloooooo, it's Jackie here. So glad to tell you that I joined this team on a permanent basis! I used  the image "Sight seeing Paris" from the fabulous All Dressed Up range. I coloured with pencils. I made a double Z card and love the end result!


Hello. This is Kym here. For my very distressed/shabby chic style card I have used the All Dressed Up image called "Sightseeing in Paris". I have coloured the image in with my Promarkers, distressed around the edge with a tearing ruler and inked with Tim Holtz's Tea Dye distress ink. You can see more details of my card here.

The Promarkers that I have used are: 
Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal 
Hair/dog - Satin, Pastel Beige, Khaki and Coral
Dress - Dusky Pink, Sunkissed Pink and Coral
Eiffel Tower - Putty, Pastel Beige, Satin and Khaki.


Hello, Sherry here: I used the beautiful 'Sight Seeing In Paris' by All Dressed Up Stamps.
I colored the image with colored pencils. Used distress ink around the image, papers and card. Then used a white gel pen on the water and sky.



Sarah here with something for the lads in your life. This is Gaming Boy, coloured with Promarkers to match the simple spotty papers.


Hello, Margaret here.  I have layered All Dressed up Stamp Gaming Boy onto paper from We are 3 Electronics paper collection and coloured him with chalks and markers.  Added elements.


Hi, Jolanda, here with something for the lads in your life. I used Gaming Boy and coloured with Copics. The papers Study Buddy from FabScraps. The GAME letters are chipwood



Hello Marja here. I have used a digi Sight seeing Paris from All Dressed Up. The digi is colored with the copics.


Hi Dawn here, I used All Dressed Up Gaming Boy for my card for my son's birthday. I used copics
to colour him but chalk for the walls. Its hard to see but I tried adding a corner to the wall, I need to 
work on that!


Good Morning / Afternoon Coloring enthusiasts.. AJ here. Showcasing Sight Seeing In Paris,  an All Dressed Up Digital Stamp. Please visit my blog post  @ Sight Seeing In Paris, for more details 



Silke here:  I have used  the sweet image  Sight Seeing In Paris from All Dressed Up. A design paper was attached to a card, then a wide ribbon was placed around the card and a bow was tied.  The coloured motif was placed on a white frame and placed at a slight angle on the card. Several layers of punched out flowers were put together to two 3 D-flowers, provided with leaves and fastened beside the motive. Finally the word Love and some glittering stones were added.

Jane here, my first spot as Guest Designer, thank you Ruth for having me.  As you can see 'Sight Seeing in Paris' has proved very popular with the team, she is so whimsical.  I have made it quite clean and fresh and of course if you don't know me by now I do love to hand stitch my cards and this one was no exception.

Hi Carol here from crafty-stamper using Sight Seeing in Paris from All Dressed Up coloured with promarkers,gems,ribbon and B.paper from stash.

So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  

Ruth:  I've used Baking Brian and coloured him with Promarkers plus a little glitter glue for the candle flames.  I've kept this card rather simple - scored a border around the edge of the card and not added any papers.


Hello.. Billie A. here with my card using the Dr. Digi image called Angling Andy. I created the background with copics.  I used my cloud template to create the sky. I went over the lake with a glimmer pen. I also colored Andy with copics and wanted him to be standing on a dock so I created a wooden dock. I added some Spectrum noir sparkle pen to the rainbow trout. I used Oct. afternoon papers and added the Tech. Tuesday sentiment.  You can see more on my card by clicking on my name.


Hello! Kathy here sharing a card that features "Corporal Clegg." Colored the dapper gent with Spectrum Noir markers and a white gel pen.  Found some wonderful patriotic paper in my stash that compliments the image and the sentiment is computer generated. To see more, stop by my blog 


Jane - I have also used the fabulous Corporal Clegg to make a birthday card for my brother. I used Copics to colour and I have listed them on my blog.


Hello Margaret here.  I have printed Dr Digi's digi stamp Fetching Fido onto white card.  Added coloured balloon and a sentiment from We are 3 All Occasion sentiment set.  Coloured with chalks and markers and drew grass and birds.  Printed the digi again, coloured with markers, cut out and layered on top.  Layered all onto blue card.



Silke:  For this card I have used the image Alice the alpaca from Dr. Digi. First a green design paper was attached to a card. Wrap a thin satin ribbon around a second square design paper and tie a bow before the paper was attached to the card. Colour the alpaca with Copics, punch it out and fix it on the card. Attach the word and the stars made of green glitter paper to the card and decorate with glitter stones.

Hi! Hanna here with my card using a digi stamp called Bath Time Dierdery. Such a cool lady I must say so of course she needed some purple hair! I coloured her with Distress Inks. The patterned papers are from the Mama-razzi2 Collection by Bo Bunny. I also used some Glossy Accents and Stickles in Star Dust. I wrote the quote on my computer. I think it fits really well with the image.


Hello, Carole here with a tag I made using Alice the Alpaca. Isn't she sweet! I decided to give her some sleek fur, as she's all spruced up for a party. I did this by layering strokes of Copic markers. The tag is coloured with Distress Oxides and has stamping, stencilling, modelling paste and heat embossing. You can find out more by visiting me here.




Hi Janet here. I've used the Dr Digi image called Martini Bianca for my card this time. I've coloured her using alcohol pens. I have used pieces from my bit box of black an red card to make the background and decorative square. Lastly just added some ribbon and glitzy bits.


Just fabulous as always!
