Hi! For this challenge I used Victorian Goth Boy from our sponsor Meljens Design.


DORIS


Hello eveyone. I decided to make the sketch card, using the Betty Boots from our amazing sponsor That Craft Place.



For this sketch challenge, I chose the lovely Little Lady Claire provided by our generous sponsor Meljen's Designs . I try to adapt the sketch to my own style and I`m really pleased with the result. 



Hi everyone! For this sketch challenge I used the beautiful Little girl bear hugs.
of our sponsor Meljen's Designs . It's adorable, I put a very little hat in the bear.
He have a sailor hat, which I think makes it look even sweeter. 

I loved how the bear is wearing his hat.

Cazzy
I used Sugar's Doggies from Ditzie Designs for my card - 50% of the profit goes to the Manchester Dog's home, and coloured her with Koh I Noor pencils. I don't have a hat so I followed the sketch. The paw print ribbons are a Crafty Ribbons exclusive.

Donna said "I used the colored version of the CC files and fussy cut up a storm." Nice one Donna!

Gaby made this cute card, showing in the cuttest way almost all the digis from the ALL ABOUT GIRLS PRINTABLE STAMP SET series provided by our sponsor The Cutting Cafe. Thank you Gaby, great work!!!

DESIGNER TEAM


Yes, fantastic creation Gaby! I could've done with some of those hangers! I decided to make a little shop too and add all the little dresses and handbags from the The Cutting Cafe inside so you can see them through the window, because we all love window shopping!



As all women, I love fashion, color, shimmer, clothes, bags, shoes... I think you understand me :o)
For my project I made a shelf card to make a perfecto showroom for those girly digis our sponsor provided us.

This is the beautiful project Gemma wanted to share with us for this challenge. In this case she used ALL ABOUT GIRLS PRINTABLE STAMP SET from The Cutting Cafe, our amazing sponsor. Best wishes for you Gemma!!

Cindy
Cindy has used YOU COLOR MY WORLD....PRINTABLE STAMP SET to make her very modern card.

Cazzy
As well as using the backgrounds from You Colour My World for both the little Girl's overalls and background, I used sentiments from All About Girls, and a banner from All Occasions Banners. The girl is called Rose from Big Girl -Elisha Jean and Friends which is one of the sets I have won from Cutting Cafe this year.
For this new challenge, I made ​​a Drawer Card. I have to say I had fun working on this project, it  is really fun everything hinges on the girls. I chose bright colors and  very girly designs paper.

In addition, I worked with the file ALL ABOUT GIRLS PRINTABLE STAMP SET from our fabulous sponsor The Cutting Cafe. What I did was trace and cut the files into different paper, and I gave them light and shadow using ink. 

Finally, I added some embellishments, some double side adhesive foam to the dress and that´s it. I hope to see your beautiful creations!

My second project is the easy way to use this amazing files from The Cutting Cafe, our generous sponsor for this new challenge. Just print, cut and paste. For this simple card, I used YOU COLOR MY WORLD....PRINTABLE STAMP SET as a background and ALL ABOUT GIRLS PRINTABLE STAMP SET. Enjoy the challenge!
