Your Favourite Bird or Beast (& why)

Just a reminder that to be chosen as our winner or Top 3 
you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite

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

First up, our fabulous Guest Designer for July and her beautiful card:

Marieke

Birds, because the summer and the warm weather remind me 
of pretty birds with pretty colours.

Anne

I love both birds and beasts but my favourite at the moment have to be the adorable new mice (ssshhh, I don't want them to hear me calling them beasties) by Tracy Easson. The stamps all come with a story, I love mice anyway but she just brings them to life

Annette

I'm a bit nervous around things that fly or flutter, so for me it's definitely the cute and furries which win this contest, in particular bunnies!  

Brenda

I am a fan of both birds and beasts, but dogs are just my favourite, I hope you can consider them a beast.  There's nothing like that little tail wagging to greet you when you get home, they always bring a smile to my face!

Elaine

I love both birds and beasts, but I don't have a lot of bird images. So I have made a card with a fine specimen of a beast. He is great for male cards and Christmas.

Jayne

**coming soon**

Larissa

I like both birds and beasts, but most of the times I use my favourite beast on my cards: the mouse, so I had to use one on this card. I just love their cute faces.

Lisa
**coming soon**

Lynne

I like both, but I have a bigger variety of cute beasts than birds and I do like cute.

Sarah

Normally I would choose beast but in the sake of fairness I have coloured up some cute birds this time to try and conquer my fear!!

Squirrel 

OK, so, I like watching the garden birds, and I am very fond of British species like sparrows, blackbirds (their song fills me with joy), robins, and starlings, BUT, if I have to choose between them for making a card then the beast in me wins every time!

Wilma

I have no favourite for this challenge. I both like birds and beasts. So I chose my favourite beast: Henry the mouse. Such a versatile stamp. 

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.

Guest Designer for July




I chose to make a set of cards for the baby theme.
If possible I always try to make a pair so I have some cards for in my stash.

Anne
I like to give personalised name cards for a baby and these Lili of the Valley alpha bears are perfect

Annette

I love making shaped keepsake cards like this 
babygro card with his cute baby giraffe.

Brenda

I love making super soft crochet afghans for the special babies in my life.  They are just so soft and snuggly and the parents always seem to appreciate them.  I haven't had any babies to crochet for lately, so here is a card I've made.

Elaine
Baby cards and projects are a joy to make. I love knitting tiny baby clothes. I may be old fashioned but I think there is nothing cuter than a new baby in a hand knitted cardigan.

Jayne
I like to make a baby card following the sender's specifications. This one was for a Grandma to be who loved the image and wanted something 'very pink'!!

Larissa

I love making personalised gifts and cards for baby. I love to include their name on my project, because that makes it extra special. I like to make a gift package that matches my present with the colours and name and I really hope the parents enjoy it.

Lisa
**coming soon**

Lynne

I love making baby cards and I try to make them a different shape to my normal square cards, because it is such a special occasion for the parents.

Sarah

I like to make baby cards. I usually have one pink and one blue new baby card to hand.

Squirrel 

As I was told it wasn't appropriate to make a muzzle, I made a 
door-hanger for the nursery instead, which could double-up as a do-not-disturb
when the sprog sweet little thing is sleeping

Wilma

I love making baby cards. Usually I get my inspiration from the card that I get from the parents.

So now it's over to you.

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