The prize that Samantha is offering, is some gorgeous papers, 
which might give you an indication as to our theme this week  
*wink* !!!




So, this fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Papers & Why.

You MUST explain WHY they are your favourites.

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

Annette

For many months, my favourite papers have been the Papermania Lucy Cromwell pad.  Each page is in one of my favourite colours; pink, aqua or purple, and most are either glittered or double sided.  And you know how, in most paper pads, there are a couple of designs that you like less than the others ??  .... well in this set, I love them all.  I've loved this pad so much that I've bought 2 of the 6" size, and then treated myself to a 12" pad recently too (to keep in reserve)!
I've used the pink and aqua a lot recently, so today's choice is purple.

Samantha

Oh my favourite papers that's quite easy I LOVE Echo park
because there are soooo many different style that suit my taste
no matter what mood I am in :)

Carol
It must be My Mind's Eye, have so many of them lol! Especially the more recent ones, all those pretty flower patterns but I also like the more boring ones as I can put my own stamp on them.

Mojca
My absolutely favourite papers are BasicGrey. They are so versatile and you can really use them for different occasions.

Sarah
My "current" favourites are from the  Joy crafts floral paper bloc - turquoise and red,
 and why.....because of the pretty, ditsy prints and the beautiful colours.

Suzette
My favourite paper is K&Co, I have used them for many years and I just can't get enough, the texture the designs and the quality. I also love cosmo cricket papers too so I have combined both on this card. 

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite Papers.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
