So, onto our 20th challenge

The sponsor of this challenge is 
Shape EZ Templates
with a prize of 2 of Tammy Louise's fabulous templates.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a projet which shows us your own style 
(and tell us what makes it your style) eg C&S, fussy, etc 
You MUST explain WHY it is your style.

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

Annette

So, let's cover why this card is my style ...
Well, where do I start!!

1. My favourite LOTV character - I couldn't resist the latest set featuring James the bear and this is my first play with one of the newly released images.  
2. I've taken the trouble (in honour of James the bear) to paint him with my DI reinkers rather than reaching for my Copics.
3. Shapes - a lovely fancy nestie shape (for the image) and a shaped card.
4. Stitching - I've taken the trouble to do some stitching (although I regretted doing the nestie shape - far too many curves and corners to get around it neatlly!)
5. Pretty pastel colours - my top 3 colours are pink, aqua and purple
6. Papers - My favourite Papermania paper pad
7. Embellishments - Pearls are my 'go to' embellishments, and a must have on all my creations.
8. Pretty coloured twine and lace
9. Background clouds - I love creating these for the scene that it creates behind the image
10. Colour coordinated elements - Everything is in various shades of purple and lilac, including an element of the image where I sneaked on a spot of purple on the daisies.

Yup, this is just my style!!!  Hope you like it too.

ps - I've just realised that another reason this is 'my style' is that, as is quite common on my cards, I've forgotten to put a sentiment on it.

At least it keeps it appropriate for any occasion!

That's my excuse, and I'm sticking to it.   ;0)

Samantha

Ohhhh, What is my style?
Hmmmmm....
Ok, so I am leaning more towards clean and simple,
and when I have a freehand where I can make anything I like...
I love die cuts, kraft, distress inks, punches.  
And if I am not sewing, then I am doodling.

Carol

My style: I must say I have a few, but I really enjoy making things with pretty papers and cute images, especially girly cute. I love the Vintage style and making my own flowers, and there has to be a swirl and pearls in there somewhere! 

Mojca

I love 3D projects and this cute calendar is totally my style! 
I love the simple look but effective :)

Sarah

My "style" is really hard to define. I don't generally add many embellishments as I am always mindful of postal charges so not fussy and fancy. CAS?  Nope, I LOVE patterned paper far too much and I love colouring my images to match. Definitely not vintage, I just can't "do" it!! Cute then? Possibly as my images tend to lean toward cuteness.
 I know...my style is simply "me"!!  

Suzette

I don't have one particular style but I do love soft colours, and so this is a perfect shape card to show that off. I love lace and flowers and anything cute really.

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us which shows us your own style 
(and tell us what makes it your style) eg C&S, fussy, etc 
You MUST explain WHY it is your style.

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