So let's get to today's inspiration... Candace - For today's challenge project, the theme is December Birthday, make anything for a boy. Slip & Slide Ice Skating Elvis Wesley Moose image was perfect for a boy birthday card! I used Posydoodles Circle Dies, All About the Dudes paper pack and the sentiment is from Elvis Wesley Moose themed sentiments.
Catrin - HI Everyone!For todays card December Birthday Boy I have used this adorable Gnome and snowman image from the 'Gnomeazing Christmas Stamp set' and coloured with Promarkers before fussy cutting. I have then used different Sizes of Oval nesting dies and backing paper from 'Winnie White winter paper pack 3 and 2. I distressed the top of the sky oval with Chipped Sapphire and the bottom with Stormy Sky distress ink and splattered with White and gold watercolour paint. I then added the Gomes and Snowman and stamped the sentiment, from the same stamp set, on to Vellum. I finally added some snowflakes and gems to complete.
Melanie - Morning All, this week the design team have been challenged to create a project for a December Birthday and anything for a boy. For my project I have created a birthday card with a bit of a twist. I first created my background using Wild honey, pine needles and abandoned coral Distress Oxides. I then used the tree from The Tweetest Christmas stamps and stamped repeatedly on to the background using tone on tone inks. For my digital image I used the Party Little Dude Digi and to finish off the card I did a mashup of sentiments which reads – ‘Merry Birthday’ both parts cropped from other sentiments using the Winnie white Christmas and the Zodiac collection sentiments. Happy Crafting! Mel
ENRICA - Hello everyone! For my project of this week I've made a square easel card using the super sweet Birthday Gifts - Winnie winter celebration digital papercrafting download colored with Copic markers. On the inside I made a paper rosette and added a few precoloured gifts from the Baked With Love - Embellies digital craft paper download. Happy Birthday to those who celebrate these days! xx 
Judy: My DT project for this week's challenge is a card that is perfect for someone with a Christmas birthday! I used the Wonderful Christmas Clear Stamp Set. The large poinsettia from the set was stamped 3 times with Versamark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder. The flowers were colored with Castle Arts Pasteltint Pencils. I layered the flowers onto a die cut background and added a sentiment from Winnie Celebrations 1 Sentiment Digital Kit, which was printed and die cut with a label die.
Natalia - Christmas time is a beautiful time and it gets even more special when you also celebrate your birthday. For this occasion, I created a Christmas shaker card, albeit at the same time sweet, shiny, and ideal for a birthday. The Rockin Robin Christmas stamp was perfect for this. The whole front page is painted with Distress and splashed with water. Inside the card, I placed a tiny gold hologram glitters. Hopefully ... you like this idea.Sarah - Christmas Birthdays can be hard, so for this card I chose a wintery birthday card with just a little hint of Christmas with that cute little robin! 
Sarah - Christmas Birthdays can be hard, so for this card I made a wintery birthday card with just a little hint of Christmas with that cute little robin! It was very simple to make, I just created a soft background using the Land & Sea stencil, then added lots of die cut trees. I finished it with a cute little robin from the Christmas Tweetings stamps & a sentiment.
Jane – This is a birthday card I made for one of my brothers using the fabulous CAPRICORN digi from the ZODIAC collection. I played around with the image in Word and added a hat and bear bottles from the GNOMES FOR MEN bundle. I also cut away the flowers and added some balloons from the BIRTHDAY CELEBRATIONS stamp set where I also got the sentiment. The paper is from the ALL ABOUT THE DUDES paper pad.
A great selection of Christmas inspiration for you this week - thanks so much to all the team!Ariadna - I love this little Cable Car digistamp from the new Theo Penguin collection - it's the perfect image for this challenge and I loved using it! I outlined the image with a fine liner pen to give it a more mixed media look, I hope you like it...
Rachael - I'm not really a winter sports kinda person, but I can see how much fun these two cute penguins are having skating and sledging. They are from a stamp set called Latte Christmas tweetings paired with the tree from Curly Christmas and a sentiment from Merry & Bright christmas greetings. I decided to make a different shape of card so it really stands out on someone's mantle this Christmas!
