Ruth:  I've used Christmas Shopping digi and coloured her up with Promarkers.  I've added her to the card using foam pads for depth and scored a border around the bottom layer of the card.  I've used a fancy edge die to cut away the front, using papers from Dovecraft Glad Tidings 6x6 paper stack and finding some perfectly matching satin ribbon in my stash.


Hello.. Billie A.  here.. I used the image called Christmas shopping. I colored the image with copics. I dug through my Christmas papers and found these Echo park papers. I used Simon Says scallop die for the strip down the side. I used Simon says rectangle die to cut the image out. I mounted this on a piece of Stampin up gray card stock.  I heat embossed the My favorite things sentiment and used MFT banner die. I added a bling as a button to her dress. I went over some of the image with Spectrum Noir sparkle brush.



Helloooooo, it's Jackie here. I used the image CHRISTMAS SHOPPING from our fabulous sponsor Paper Shelter. I coloured with markers and pencils. I added Craft Sensations DP. Then flower die cuts, glitter gems and a sentiment. I also backed the image with a fab JND die cut. A little red Stickles may have been involved! You can see more details HERE.


Hello.  This is Kym here.   For my Christmas card I have used The Paper Shelter image called "Christmas Shopping".  I have used the black-and-white image and the backing paper.  I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and then fussy cut the image out.  The Promarkers that I have used are: 

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal 
Hair - Buttercup, Vanilla and Pastel Beige
Dress/coat/shoes - Lime Green, Pear Green, Lime Zest, Pastel Yellow and Mustard
Present - Grass, Bright Green, Canary and Sunflower
Holly/berries - Berry Red, Leaf Green and Bright Green.

Hi, Jolanda, with my card using Christmas Shopping from The Paper Shelter. I colored the image  with Copic markers and used some Stampendous Frantage and Vintage Photo Distress ink after cutting an oval. I then used some designpaper from my stash and a green double card. The same green cardstock was used for the stamped ticket Christmas wishes.

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

Ruth:  I got to play with some of their fab images!  I used Holly Poocherson and coloured with Promarkers.  I've used Polkadoodles Ho Ho Ho papers and layered the image onto some silver card from my stash.  I found some red satin ribbon in my stash that matched the backing paper so made a bow and attached a snowflake charm.


Hello, Monica here and this is my project using Deep Sea Diver. I colored the image with my Prismacolor colored pencils and cut it out with a circle die. Using a digital paper for my background, I adhered the focal image to the background and stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and embossed it with white embossing powder.


Hello.  Dawn here with my project using Foxicorn.  He is just so darn cute isn't he?  He is coloured with my Copics and I have added sparkle to him all over with my Spectrum Noir sparkle pen.  The papers are from a Lili of the Valley paper pad called Enchantment.  The sentiment is a simple computer generated one to match the card.



Hello.. It's Billie A. here with my card using this fun image called Dachshund thru the snow.. I am a dog lover so was happy to be able to work with this fun image. I colored him with copics and added the Sugar Pea sentiment and the Merry Christmas is from Simon says.. I added some sequins and Nuvo drops to the centers. I went over parts with a Spectrum Noir sparkle brush. The designer paper is from a large 12x12 that I dont have the front name cover to.


Hi there,  Margo here and this week I made a card with the cute digi Tree Kitty by our fabulous sponsor Knitty Kitty Designs.  I have coloured the cute kitty with my Copic markers and decided to make a little shaker window next to her. The paper is from my stash and I put some sequins matching the paper colours.



Hi again - Vic here! I just HAD to join in with the challenge this week, when I heard Knitty Kitty Designs was our sponsor! I knew immediately the image I NEEDED to have. We got 2 fur babies recently...and I was totally inspired by this image - to make a Christmas card for my Mum n Dad and also one for my Husband.I know these cards will be right up their street and have been made with such love. I used "Christmas cat flap" I coloured with my alcohol pens and a little glossy accents / nuvo glitter here n there.  I fussy cut a little bunting from a docrafts sheet, which I have had for a few years.  I added a little grey pavement along the bottom, so I could add a new stamped sentiment I got recently. A couple of punched holly leaves finished this card.


The card I made for my Husband was done much in the same way, but this time I tried to make the door a little more like our own front door .. and added a few little hand-drawn lines here and there. 
I also added a stamped sentiment and our own front door numbers on each card.


Hello! Kathy here. I had such a hard time picking  digi this week from Knitty Kitty Digis that I picked two! My first features a humorous image and sentiment from a set named Cone of Shame The second features a cute image named Deep Sea with a computer-generated sentimentBoth of the cards were colored with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen.  The cone of shame card incorporates one of my favorite specialty papers- vellum!


Helloooooo, it's Jackie here. I used the image Tree Kitty from our fabulous sponsor  Knitty Kitty Digis. I coloured with markers and pencils.I placed the image onto a printed card blank then added Clarity strips of paper and a die cut frame. A word, leaves and button finish the project. You can see more details here



Hi Dawn here with my Dachshund card. I coloured him with copics and tried to get a layered look to the fur and then added stickles to the hat. I love my new cloud stencil and have been putting clouds on everything! I sponged the burgundy to make it darker and of course got red ink on my fingers which I transferred to my image which is why there are three small snowflakes on it, lol, I LOVE embellishments!

Hello - it's Helen here with my card for this week.  I couldn't resist this digi called 'Dachshund Thru the Snow' - a great digi and a great name too!  I've coloured him with Promarkers and used a blue colour scheme for my card.


Just fabulous as always!

Hi again - Vic here. I'm sharing this card with you - using "pint glass" image from Dr Digi. It's a great image to colour and cut out! Handy for loads of cards - I made this one for my brother-in-law. I used papers from my stash and a partly stamped, partly hand-written sentiment. See my blog (click on my name) for more details. ..


Hello... Billie A  I am using the fun image called Bus stop Babs and Baldric.. I colored the image with copics and using my cloud template and Ranger ink created the sky. I used Lil inker stitch die.

I have kept this one a clean and simple design using just a little patterned paper behind and die cut a large HO HO HO out of the same paper plus a little red card. 


Hello! Kathy here. When I saw this fun image from Dr Digi named “Saucer-head” I knew that I wanted to feature him on a Z-fold card, anchored in mid-air with a strip of acetate. [You can find a tutorial for making this fold HERE.] I colored the fun image with Spectrum Noir markers and a Sakura Gelly Roll white gel pen. To infinity and beyond!
