So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  Welcome to Marja who is joining us as a Guest Designer for 3 months!  We say goodbye and thank you to Vannessa one of our current Guest Designers!

Ruth:  I got to use this cute Heart Balloon digi and coloured it with Promarkers plus some glitter glue on the balloon.  The papers are from Funky Hand - Just For Jen download and are no longer available; I've had these in my stash for a few years and I'm really trying to use up what I have!

Billie A here with my card using the fun image "heart balloon girl".. I created the clouds and ground with my template I created out of x-ray film. I then colored the image with copics. I added some dots to her cute dress with a white gel pen. I added some wink of Stella to the balloon and some bling to the flower centers in her hair.  The sentiment is from Simon says.  I used My favorite things stitch die and layered this on an embossed pink card stock.

Hello again, It's Jackie here with a card made with the gorgeous image by Lemon Shortbread called Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella and I coloured her with markers and pencils. I used some Graphic 45 Dps! You can see more details here.

Hello, Sherry here: I used the adorable 'Heart Balloon Girl' by Lemon Shortbread.

I printed the heart balloon twice and colored the images with colored pencils.Then cut out the girl with a frame die and fussy cut the extra heart balloon out. Put mounting tape on the back of the balloon and placed it over the original heart balloon. Cut out small balloon hearts on the background patterned paper, used the same die to cut out on another patterned paper to fill in the hearts. Placed a piece of the same patterned paper behind the image. Then made a bow with twine and glued it beneath the flower.

Hello Again, Sherry here: I used the adorable 'Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella' by Lemon Shortbread. I colored the image with colored pencils. Cut it out and inked around it with distress oxide. Then used a die to cut out a design on a piece of patterned paper.

Hello from Margaret I coloured Lemon Shortbread digi stamp Rainy Days girl with Umbrella with chalks, markers and gel pen.  Layered onto papers from We are 3 April Showers paper collection

added sentiment from We are 3 Spring Sentiment set

Hello. This is Kym here. For my "get well soon" card I have used the Lemon Shortbread image called "Rainy Days". I have coloured the image in with Promarkers and highlighted all the water drops with my Sakura Stardust Clear Pen. You can see more details of my card here.  The Promarkers that I have used are: 

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal 

Hair - Raw Sienna and Cocoa

Umbrella/coat/boots - Buttercup, Lemon, Yellow and Ice Grey 2.

Ground - Putty and Pastel Beige.

Silke here: First I wrapped a design paper with a ribbon before it was attached to the card. Now I place a yellow rectangle on it. For this card I chose the image Heart ballon girl from Lemon Shortbread, colored it with Copics and then I positioned it on the card.  The punched sentiment was attached beside the girl and afterwards several hearts in different sizes were distributed on the map.

Hello Marja here. I used the digi Rainy days girl with umbrella from Lemon Shortbread for this card. I colored her with my colored pencils.

Hi, Jolanda here. I have used Heart Balloon Girl, an image from Lemonshortbread.

I coloured the image with Copic markers. The card from Studio Light, the little dots are the leftovers from holes of the pink cards, I used white/pink twine in it. The little balloons on both sides are stamped with Memento ink.

Hello everyone. Vannessa here with my version of Heart Balloon Girl from Lemon Shortbread. I used Copic Markers to colour the scene and added some pretty flowers and gems to pull all the colours of her outfit together. 

Hello crafters, it's Sarah here with a bit of inspiration for you.  I have coloured little Heart Balloon Girl with Promarkers to compliment the cute romantic papers.

Good Morning / Afternoon Coloring enthusiasts.. AJ here. Showcasing Rainy Days Girl with Umbrella, a Lemon Shortbread Digital Stamp.  A Fun and Bright Thinking of You Card. Please visit my blog post @ Rainy Days for more details ..

Margo here with this weeks card using Rainy Days Girl With Umbrella by Lemon Shortbread Digital stamps.   I have used my Copic Markers to colour her up and gave some rainy accents with my white gel pen.  The card base is made with a Dutch Doobadoo shape stencil and I have used some older papers from my stash and flowers to complete the card.  I did not put a text on it so I can use it just to send to a friend for no specific reason.

Hi Carol here from crafty-stamper-I used T-Sirt and Soda Girl image coloured with promarkers,great papers from The Works and a selection of dies.

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

Hello. This is Billie A.  I am here to share my card that I created using the sponsors image called T. shirt soda girl.. Isn't she cute?? I found some paper that had some fun images on it that went with the image. I used a Simon says border scallop die. I used Lawn Fawn twine. I then colored the image with copics. I added the image to the green strip. I added a Pink fresh heart to the knot. The sentiment is from Close to my heart.  I added some glossy accents to the heart.  I hope you play along with the challenge.  You can see more on my card at Stampin with ink on my fingers.

Sherry GD here: I used 'T-shirt Soda Girl' by 'Lemon Shortbread'...The image is colored with colored pencils. I used a distressing tool around it and then added distress oxide ink. I used distress oxide inks on a piece of white cardstock to make the background paper and used it to cut it out the butterfly/flower background with a die. I also used distress oxide ink on the background die cut, after taping it to a white card. 

Elizabeth, GD, is sharing today this darling image from Lemon Shortbread call T-Shirt Soda Girl. I found a perfect plaid to go with her and, of course, the cute sticker puppy also in plaid. The coloring was done with Copic markers and lots of blending to achieve the denim look on her pants and hat.

Hi - It's Vic again. I'm here to share my card with you using the cute little "T-shirt soda girl" image from Lemon Shortbread. She was a darling to colour with my alcohol markers. I used some papers from a pack I got yonks ago... and they all colour coordinate perfect, which was handy! The image reminds me of a summery day, so thought I would choose summery papers for the background. 

Hi there, it's Margo with my card for this weeks challenge. I have coloured T-Shirt Soda Girl from Lemon Shortbread with Copic Markers. I have used some papers from Echo Park. The text is 'It's your birthday' but in Dutch.

Hello, Janet here. Here is my inspiration for this challenge. Using our sponsor Lemon Shortbread's image called Build a Snowman. I've kept this a simple design by adding just a bow and greeting. The image has been coloured using copic pens.

GDT Nicola here.  I have used 'Building Snowman' from Lemon Shortbread to create a CAS Christmas card.  I coloured using ProMarkers and created some texture on the clothing

AJ here.. Well I am back.. I was asked to stay on as a GDT a bit longer.. (^_^) .. Today I am showcasing a 5x7 friendship card featuring 'T-Shirt Soda Girl' by Lemon Shortbread. If you would like to see more details please visit my blog post  @ T-Shirt Soda Girl

Ruth:  I've used Beanie Girl and coloured her up with Promarkers and then used papers that I found in my stash - for once I actually picked the papers before I coloured the image!  I had a clear out over Christmas and found lots of printed papers that I'd forgotten I had, so I'm determined to use them up!  The sentiment is an X Cut die and I've added ribbons from my stash.

Marjeta - Hello dear friend!

I embellished it with Crafty Ribbons ribbon, texture paste, different dies and lots of flowers.

Hello. This is Kym here. For my card I have used the Lemon Shortbread image called "Beanie Girl". I coloured the image in with Promarkers. I have gone for a shabby chic style card so all card/papers have been distressed with my Tim Holtz distressing tool and a brown chalk ink pad rubbed along all the distressed edges. I have finished the card off with some ribbon under the lace, die-cut sentiment, banner, greenery, leaves, flower and a brad. The Promarkers I have used are:

Face/skin - Saffron, Spice and Oatmeal 

Hair - Burnt Sienna, Chestnut and Henna

Dress/boots/hat - Salmon Pink, Antique Pink, Cocoa and Burnt Sienna.

Hi Everyone!  Tammy here!  Just wanted to share my card using the Hot Cuppa Girl from Lemon Shortbread.   I colored her with just some basic markers.  My DP is just some random sheets from swaps that I have received recently and I've paired it with a fun sentiment from My Favorite Things called Cup of Tea.  I also added just a few Nuvo Drops in red to give it a bit of texture.  I hope you like it!

Jill  here....I made a box with Tag. And I colored her with Copic Marker.

Hiya - Vic here!  I'm here to share my card this month, with my lovely image from

 Lemon Shortbread - "fairy flower scent."  I knew this would make a lovely card for my friends little girl, who was is about to turn 3. She was a delight to colour and I popped

her on a diecut stitched shape. I made a little ribbon shaped sentiment

and diecut the number 3 and her name. 

The little penant on the top right hand side is also a diecut. 

The backing paper came from a freebie paper pack. from Pink Petticoat (no longer trading).  I coloured the fairy with my alcohol pens:-

Spectrum noirs: EB3, EB6, EB2, PL3, TN2, JG3.

Promarkers: rose pink, blossom, pastel yellow, canary.

Janet - My card for this challenge is using the Lemon Shortbread called Beanie Girl. I've coloured her with Copic pens. I have used a patterned paper from a old company called Magenta. Then lots of die cut page leaves to decorate.
