This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Colouring Medium (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

Although I've been trying my hand at colouring pencils recently (art drawings rather than cards) my favourite go-to medium for cardmaking has been Ranger Distress Reinkers, which I use as watercolouring inks with a dinky brush.  Watercolouring feels like relaxing therapy because it's quite slow while you're putting in all the layers!  

Brenda

My beloved Copic markers aged out and these days I am enjoying learning to use colored pencils.  I love that there are so many affordable options that go down smoothly and have a wide variety of colors.

Elaine

I love to use alcohol markers for my projects. I love the range of colours and the blending qualities. 

Larissa

Coloured pencils are my favourite colouring medium. I love the look of the blended pencil and I think it is really relaxing to colour with them.

Lynne

I use my copics the most. I have had them the longest and am more used to them than anything else.  I would love to try pencils but don't seem to have the time or patience!

Sarah

Promarkers for me, they blend beautifully and last for ages. I've used them for so long that I know all the colour combinations that work.

Wilma

My favourite colouring medium is Copic markers. I love the way how they blend. I do have all the Copic markers, beautiful colours so I have plenty of choice. I tried watercolouring but that was no success. 

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Season (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

Although I love Christmas crafting, I'm not a fan of winter and cold weather, so my favourite season is the summer with its long sunny days and warm weather.

Elaine

I have to say Christmas is my favourite season. I love making Christmas cards, making anything from traditional to fun and cute. 

Larissa

I think every season has its own charm. For now I have picked a summer project for this challenge. We had a couple of days with rain, so I am looking forward to better weather with sun. 

Lynne

Spring is my favourite season. I love it when the garden comes to life with all the spring flowers after being so bare in the winter.  It also means warmer weather is on the way.

Sarah

I was born in February so am a Winter baby. With the cold crisp days (and rain) comes Christmas with it's bling, sparkle and reindeer!!

Wilma

I love all seasons but autumn is my favourite season. I find the changing of the leaves on the trees spectacular. Beautiful colours! There is also an 'autumn' smell in the air. Cooler weather and it gets dark earlier! Make everything cozy in the house: candles on, reading by the stove.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Dies to Die For

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Cats or Dogs (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

 It's no question for me, as I've always had cats, currently two 2-year olds who are extremely efficient at keeping me on my toes.  One's a baby angel and her brother is, well, let's just tactfully say he's 'a handful'!  One moment he's rocketting around the house stripping the silicone out of our window frames, and the next moment he's demanding snuggles and is the sweetest cuddlepants possible.  It's a good thing I'm a cat person, because he's landed on his furry paws with us!

Elaine

I have to choose dogs. I don't have many cat images. This is one of my Grandson's pocket money packets, he has two dogs. I make a different one every month which he tells me he keeps.

Larissa

Although I’m more of a dog lover in real life, I actually enjoy using cat images more when it comes to cardmaking. I think they look cuter and their mischievous personality often shines through in the images — although that’s not really the case with the image I’ve used today.

Lynne

I've never owned a cat so it has to be dogs for me. I think they are great companions and such loving pets.

Sarah

It's dogs in our house. We've had dogs since before our eldest Son was born so that's a very long time now!! Our current "twins" are nine years old and have Martin just where they want him. Every word on the card I made for his Birthday is true!!

Wilma

My favorite are cats. I got my first cat when I was 8. A pitch black cat that lived to be almost 20 years old. After that I had 3 more cats and that was it. Because we worked full time we didn't get any more cats.

As a child of 6 I was once bitten by a dog and since then I've been afraid of (stray) dogs.

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Don't forget, you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to be eligible to win.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
