ANNIVERSARY BLOG HOP

Before we move onto our next challenge
this challenge marks our
6 year anniversary 
and to celebrate we've decided to have a blog hop, 
where one lucky 'hopper' will win an extra surprise.

So in addition to playing along this week, 
we would like you to pop and visit all our Design Team, 
leave a little comment on their blogs,
then leave a comment back on this blog, 
and you will be eligible for a prize.

In addition to the blog hop, we have our usual challenge sponsor.
This week, the prize is an A5 stamp set from

Lili of the Valley

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

Your Favourite Non-card project.

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Don't forget to visit and comment at each of our teamies
and leave a comment back here 
to qualify for the separate blog hop prize.

I've been having a go at some mixed media and journaling, I love it for change. Last month I did an AALL & Create workshop where we made a tag book. I still haven't assembled it as I didn't get all my tags finished but we learnt lots of different techniques with stencils and backgrounds and these are a few of my tags

Annette

I love wrapping presents and attaching a homemade tag to my gift.  I also love these oversized tag dies - they're great to still include a full stamped image and some embellishments so it's a fussy and fancy creation too!

Brenda

One of my other favourite hobbies is jewellery making.  It's a bit like card making in that much of the fun is in the hunt and collecting goodies for future use.  This necklace has an example of some of the lovely bead treasures you can happen upon.  These are called Kazuri beads, they have such a wonderful story.  

Elaine

I like to try all things crafty. I made these mementos from our holiday in Italy. It is lovely to have them as a reminder of the fabulous trip to these historic ruins.

Larissa

Last year I bought a Memory dex and since them I started making cards for them. I love creating these cards, because they are a little bit smaller than my cards. I love the challenge to create something on a little card with most of the times a special shape. I love the look of my memory dex in my craft room with all those cute cards on it. :) 

Lynne

This is Sally and Sam.  I made Sally over 20 years ago and recently found Sam half made in a bag with all the materials etc so I've finished him off so that Sally doesn't have to sit in the craft room on her own any more.

Sarah

I enjoy a bit of needlework when I am not paper-crafting. I find it very relaxing and it's lovely to play with different stitches.

Squirrel 

Unfortunately the first ever granny square crochet blanket isn't finished yet (so near yet so far) so here is something else!  I love making little gift wrappings, either boxes or bags, that can contain a few luxury chocs.  Here is a little bag I made.
("Uff Da" is an expression of surprise)

Wilma

Apart from making cards, boxes and little bags I love to make wreaths. It's just as relaxing as working with papers and stamps. This one is made from bicycle inner tubes. I am happy with the result. 

So now 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.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
