I'm definitely a pearls gal; I love their soft lustre and I have packs of them in every possible colour! I've even added some extra pearls on a string amongst the flowers.





I have always loved buttons.  I loved to go to estate sales for the wonderful buttons you could find. I like using them on cards because they can add a feminine, masculine, simple or elegant look depending on the button you use.




I do love to use pearls on feminine cards. Male cards require something a little more rugged, so buttons can look really interesting embellishments.





I love pearls, because of their elegant look. I don't like a lot of bulk on my card, so I prefer pearls and especially mini pearls.





I love pearls, they add that elegant touch and are definitely more suitable to this style of card than buttons.



I have tons of both...as you do, but decided upon buttons here, as they were the perfect size for the flower centres.



I do like buttons and pearls, but I tend to use buttons for boys and pearls for girls, and as I make more girls cards than boys, I guess that makes pearls my favourite!






I don´t have a favorite. It depends on the type of card that I´m making.
For this card I used pearls because they suit better with this card.





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.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
Your Favourite Spring or Easter (& 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
I don't usually make Easter cards so I have to choose Spring for this challenge. I love to see the flowers after the garden has been dead all Winter and this little bunny hopping along looks to me to be full of the joys of Spring!





I don't tend to make many Easter cards, but I love Spring because it means that the longer days and lighter evenings are on their way.  
I've used Spring colours and florals on this supersized tag.





I love making Easter cards for family and friends because this is my favourite holiday.  I also love the bright, happy colours you get to use not the mention the cute critters that are customary.






Elaine

Instead of Easter Eggs I like to  make up goody bags and tags for the family.
This way I can put their favourite snack in the bag.





I love making Easter cards, so I decided to make an Easter card for this challenge. I love the bright colours you can use on your cards, but I think maybe I should make more spring cards and hopefully the Dutch weather will be inspired by my cards and spring will come in the Netherlands. ;)






Lynne
I don't make Easter cards so have chosen Spring. I love all the Spring flowers coming to life in the garden and the longer days.


I have made an Easter card because I found a similar one on Pinterest aaaaaages ago and couldn't think of another occasion for which to use such a bunny!! So cute and perfect for Easter. I bet he is stashing chocolate eggs in that burrow!!






I like Spring .... and I like Easter .... so it was a 50/50 choice for me on this one.
I chose Easter, because I am a sucker for a furry wabbit bringing me chocolate!






Spring. I love the flowering of the flowers, the new leaves on the trees, the young animals, cows that enter the meadow after a winter in the stable, etc. It makes me happy.




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.
