So let's see what the team have made for you this week...

Nikky...I love Oddball Art images. I have to be honest and admit that I forgot what the colour palette was meant to be this week but I had a massive booboo when I coloured these images. I decided to do a funky background but forgot to mask my images off and sprayed Mix'It solution over the entire piece - eeek! It was like a scene from Chucky with all that bleeding everywhere! I was distraught I can tell you! But when I looked it was worse around the outer edges really so I decided to cut the images and then decoupage them rather than start from scratch. 

So in the end I coloured a background onto a card front using 7250 and then sprayed with Mix'It to create snow. I then went a bit berserk with my Graph'It Shake White swoonable pen to create a flurry of snow. 

I need to point you in the direction of the top and bottom edges of my card - see all the glittery stuff? This is SO cool!

Colours used: Skin: 4105, 4125, 4150, 3105 - cheeks, 4145, 4135

Hair (left) Grey greens and Blue Greys 

Teal Blue background: 7240 and 7250, White Graph'It Shake

Red and Greens clothing: 5245, 5280, 8260, 8280

Head over to my blog to find out more about how I made this and that cool glitter effect...

Anjie -   I have used Christmas colours for my make.

The cute image from Oddball Art and is called Sherry Rescues a Puppy. I coloured the image and then coloured a background which was a total fail so I fussy cut the images out to add to a new background! More info on my blog.

The Graph'It Markers I have used are:

Skin: 4105, 4125, 4150, 3120

Reds: 5210, 5222, 5240, 5270

Blues: 7122, 7125, 7130

Dog: 9100, 9101, 9102

Wall: 3210, 3230, 9401, 9402, 9403

Claire C, I've used the Christmas colour palette to colour up this adorable image from Oddball Art

. She's called Ellie the Elf and you can find her here

I'm soooooooo enjoying making backgrounds with my Graph'Its, this was made by just scribbling my markers onto the background not worrying too much about blending and then dripping on Mix'It Fluid using the end of the spray tube from the bottle. The White Graph'It Shake pen is perfect for adding snow and the Silver Shake pen gives a little frosty sparkle

Colours used: 

Skin: 3210,3105,4150, 4125,4105 plus 4135

Hair: 9905

Reds: 3160, 5280, 5240,5220,5210

So let's get onto the last lot of winners....

We had a little booboo and got a bit mixed up with weeks over the past month so it's taken a couple of weeks and a few headaches to work this out LOL...In the end as we'd got out of synch and clearly some of you were confused too, we've decided to add the missing weeks and winners together into one big pot to make it really fair.

So we have combined Week 38, 39 and 40 as there were only 6 entries over all 3 weeks and because of this we havent chosen a Design Team Top 3 - thankyou to everyone who did enter and again apologies if we confused you - we confused ourselves too!....
