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

your Favourite Markers, Inks or Pencils (& 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

using Bently & Bunny
My favourite is definitely my reinkers which I was introduced to by our very own Squirrel. I find it so therapeutic when I have a paintbrush in my hand blending out the ink to shade the images.  The only downside is when I confuse my little water bottle with my cuppa and dunk my brush in the wrong one.

Samantha
Using Rosie Collection 1
My favourite medium is Ohhh this is difficult because I LOVE distress inks but I also love spectrum noir pens too! I guess for speed I have to choose the Spectrum Noir pens.

Brenda
using Merlin and Binky

I love coloring with Copic markers.  I love the wonderful color blends and shading you can get with them.

Elaine

Elvis hedgehog set

My favourite medium is Promarkers. I love colouring and blending and find it very relaxing.

Kat

Copics are my favourite because I love the detail and depth I can get in the shading...on a good day!

Lori
using Snoozing Ralph

My favorite coloring medium is Copic markers because I love to blend and muck with all the different combinations you can create :) 

Lorraine

 Gardening Alf

I love my Promarkers, they were my first colouring medium and I have always stuck with them. I like to experiment with colour combos and shading.

Mojca

Graduation Winston

All of you that know me the answer is obvious ... COPIC MARKERs ♥ I just love them! They blend so beautiful and this cute little owl was a joy to colours :)

Sarah

Rosie and ice cream

I have tried lots of other colouring mediums but always go back to my Promarkers, they just "work" for me. I like the solid tips, how they lay down colour and their blendability.

Squirrel 

I've tried the markers but when I discovered the DI ReInkers for watercolouring I knew I had found MY happy medium.  Occasionally supplemented with pencils for fine detail because I'm not that clever, or patient, with a brush.

Suzette

Wilma

Cute farm set

My favorite is Copic markers. I love the way they blend.

So now it's over to you.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Die (& 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

This Nottingham border die has been my favourite for a while.  I love the pretty flowers and it's my 'go-to' die for clean and simple feminine designs.

Samantha

Well I agree with my teamies this challenge was a challenge of Which die is my favourite,
OUCH! ermmmm think think think... THERE ARE LOADS! that are my favourite...
I have to say though Tattered Florals is one of my go to dies so it is definitely one of my favorites.




Brenda

This challenge is impossible for me.  I LOVE DIES!  If I were backed into a corner and threatened for an answer, I would say my stitched or pierced circle dies.  I find I seldom my a card without them, I love their finished look.

Elaine

I love my flower dies, but especially the Chrysanthamum set from Britannia dies. I think they enhance so many of my projects either as a single flower or a cluster.

Kat

My favourite die changes all the time depending on what mood I'm in!
This is my current fave because I had my eye on it for ages and finally snapped it up at a craft show for a very bargain price :-)

Lori

My favorite "go-to" dies are the stitched rectangles, squares and circles from Lil' Inker Designs....they work amazing to frame an image and give it that extra little detail it needs

 
Lorraine

My all time favourite die is the Floral Oval by Spellbinders. I love it because it fits all of my coloured images beautifully and sits nicely on a 6 x 6 card but equally doesn't get lost on a larger card either.

Mojca

I just love Spellbinder dies and the circle ones and scalloped ones are my favourite, they give such lovely touch to the cards.

Sarah

My favourite ( most used ) dies  are my Spellbinders large circles which, I have recently discovered, fit perfectly into my NEW favourite Stitched Circle Scallop Frames!!
Why? I just think that a circle frames most images really nicely and it appeals to my need for symmetry.

Squirrel 

I wanted to rename this challenge as "Mission Impossible" - it has been so DIFFICULT to choose a favourite die (or two).  In the end I chose my favourite matting dies and a couple of my favourite (that is, most used) embellishment dies.  I could have chosen far more than three though!

Suzette

**coming soon**


Wilma

I love the butterfly dies of Memory box, but Pippi and Isabella Butterfly are my favorite dies. I love butterflies and use those dies a lot.

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

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Prize - £15 voucher

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Favourite Food or Drink ? (& why).
This could also be interpreted as a colour too, eg favourite is chocolate so use brown,
or you like strawberries so use pink/red.

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Annette

My favourite is chocolate which could be either food or drink because you can both eat and drink it!  I love the taste and it's not so much a love as a need!  Yup, I'm a chocoholic (and seek no cure!)

Samantha
Oh my favourite is definitely food!
and well chocolate cake!
do I need to say anymore?
CHOCOLATE CAKE!

Brenda

It would be hard for me to decide between coffee and chocolate.  If I absolutely had to choose, it would be a nice cup of bold, hot coffee!  Some mornings, the only thing to roust me out of bed is the thought of drinking that delicious brew.

Elaine

I am a real foodie, but I do like to share a glass of wine with friends.

Kat

**coming soon**

Lori

Well, this is a no-brainer for this girl LOL...anyone who knows me knows that I am a true "coffee addict" so for me this week, it's BEVERAGE - coffee! It's my ultimate FAV!!!

Lorraine

I love to share a cuppa and a chat with friends.

Mojca

**coming soon**

Sarah

I like food (chocolate especially!!) AND drink, however I NEED coffee in order to fuel me for mucking out in the morning so I have chosen to showcase some rather lovely coffee cups :0)

Squirrel 

Oh I do like me grubs, but I find nothing perks me up more than a delicious coffee, hot if the weather is cold, or iced if it is a really hot day.  My current addiction is a Costa Flat White (other brands are available)

Suzette

**coming soon**

Wilma

Of course, I love good food, but I also really enjoy to drink a glass of wine with friends on a sunny terrace.

So now it's over to you.

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

showcase your Favourite of our options.

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite to win the prize.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
