Monica - For our last challenge of the year, I wanted to have the lovely Winnie through out the upcoming new year. So I made a 2017 calendar with Winnie precoloured images, embellishments and papers from almost all Winnie collections. You can find all the collections I used here. Closer look of each month page on my blog  
                            

Rebecca  For my card this week I have used one if the design sheets from the Winston collection , how cute is Etty
Tanya - This week I've made my final Christmas card and made it extra special with room to personalise it at the bottom.  I've used the Winnie in Winterland Big Kahuna Collection to make my large A4 card by layering papers and sentiments and wreaths over the top of one another and then doing a bit of decoupage.  More details on my blog.

Jane P- For my make this week I decided to go with Winnie in Winterland Big Kahuna Collection to make a 5x5 card this week.  Also used the Flowers 2 dies.  Distressed the edges, layered the paper and used the dies to cut the flower embellishments from the collection.


 Julie  - For our last challenge of 2016, I decided to make one more Christmas card using the lovely Gingers from Baked with Love and coloured with Pencils.


LoriFor my card this week, I printed the pre-colored images from the Baked With Love - Gingerbread digi collection and fussy cut it out, popped it up.  I kept it very CAS as these 2 cuties have enough WOW factor to melt anyone's hearts!!



Jane S - I have made a Christmas card for my skull obsessed step-niece!! LOL This gorgeous lady is Oddella Bow and the skulls are from Work & Play 11

Anjie I thought I'd see the year out with a bang and share some home decor I have made for Christmas. And here it is. I used the Festive Christmas stamp soup collection for this.
There are photos of the individual letters and how I made it over on my blog so please go check it out. I would also like to wish each and every one of you a happy and healthy Christmas and New Year.

So lets see what our Design Team have made this week...

Anjie - I used the Octavia Moonfly collection this week as I hadn't used it in a while and thought it deserved an airing. I used the pre-coloured version of the Dragonfly image. Lots more info and photos on my blog.


Tanya  - This week's make uses elements from the Winnie in Winterland Design Sheet Number 4. I have hidden the tag inside the front of the card under a layer of snowy acetate by cutting out the middle of the background paper from the design sheet.  Finished off with glitter and some red and white twine.  The scrabble letters like last week's make have been recolourised using Craft Artist and you can get them here.  More photos on my blog.

Jane P -This week I decided to return to the Winnie in Wonderland Collection.  The embellishments in this collection has wonderful tags for the challenge this week.  Having to keep things on the simple side since many of my things are set up in my craft room in the new house. 



Monica.- I wanted to use some tags to show the beauty of Winnie Winterland Collection, so I made a tag mini album.

Detail view of each tag



Jane S - I have used one of the pre-coloured tags and embellies from the gorgeous Octavia Frosted Winter Collection to make a tag shaped card! 

LoriFor my card this week, I printed out the pre-colored North Pole image from the Winnie Winterland collection. I wrapped the main image panel in some yummy red/white twine and added a button :) The tag and sentiment are from the Baked With Love collection - fit the bill perfectly! It is popped up with foam dots and I added a few sparkly gems to finish the card off...wa-laaa!


Julie - I decided to use a little creative licence with my tag and instead made a hanging bauble using Polar Family from Octavia Frosted Winter Collection and coloured with Pencils.
