The sponsor of this challenge is

Lee Holland Digis

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

Your Favourite style (CAS/FAF) (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Anne
Using Lee Holland Fox
My style has definitely changed over the years, I think CAS is harder than it looks but I love making clean'ish' modern cards and I always use dies.
I used Lee Holland's adorable 'sweet fox' image for my card

Annette
Using Lee Holland Teddy in Christmas Jumper

I used to be a full on FAF crafter, but I am definitely a CAS convert!  After I've spent ages colouring an image I don't want to overload it with embellies.  Plus it's easier to mail!  :0)

Brenda
Using Lee Holland's Penguin with Snowflake

I'm an eclectic card maker with a tendency toward simple.  I love nice lines with a little fluff because they are just so much fun to make! 

Elaine
I think I lean towards the CAS look. I find it hard to put too much on a card and still have it look good.

Jayne
**coming soon**

Larissa

using Lee Holland Halloween kitten
Most of my cards are more in CAS style than fully loaded. I love the simple look of a CAS card. I don't use very much design paper and I am also not using very much embellishments on my cards.

Lisa

Lynne
Using Lee Holland Birthday Teddy

My usual style is in between the two extremes, although occasionally I do like to try a shabby chic style.  I can't make a CAS card without wanting to add pearls or some other embellishment and I do like to use patterned paper so you don't see much white space on my cards. Only two flowers have been added this time as the paper is so patterned.

Sarah

I am neither one or t'other!! I love patterned paper so my cards usually feature some which excludes CAS. I don't add lots of frippery so don't favour faff. My style is just "ME"!!

Squirrel 

I have tried to make FAF, truly I have, more than once, but each time they have turned out like an explosion in an embellishment factory rather than a beautifully created piece, so I'm guessing my style is definitely CAS, sometimes more CAS than others!

Wilma
Using Lee Holland Cute Monkey

I like to make cards that don't have too many layers and embellishments and tend to be clean and simple.

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.
