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

Your Favourite Summer or Autumn (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Jules
Summer has to win this choice as this is when we get to enjoy beautiful long sunny days (if we are lucky), we can walk out without a coat and hopefully enjoy the odd picnic or two.

Anne

Although Autumn is my favourite season (Halloween, bonfire night, pumpkins, wind, leaves etc) when it comes to crafting I would have to choose Summer. I love to use bright colours on my cards and lots of sunshine, flowers and of course bunting!

Annette

I love the long warm days of summer; lots of sunshine and all the garden (ok, weeds) in colour. I love the longer evenings before it gets dark because it really feels like I can spend some time in daylight outside of work.

Brenda
I love the bright warm sun of summer and all the beautiful flowers growing in my yard.

Elaine

Summer has to be my choice. I love the garden full of flowers, all the colours and the warm sun.

Larissa

I like both seasons. Autumn is great because of all of its colours and autumn is the season for Halloween cards and I really enjoy making those. But summer is also really great because most of the time it means warm weather and happy people.

Lorraine

I love summer. Nice weather, pretty flowers and being able to get outside without getting cold!

Lynne

I much prefer summer to autumn when the gardens are at their best and all the flowers are in full bloom.

Sarah

I love the autumn. The colours are glorious and I love riding or kicking my way through the crunchy leaves on misty mornings.

Squirrel

It's autumn for me. I don't like the intense heat of summer (or the bugs) but love the mellow warmth and the light of autumn days, even when there is a chill first thing in the morning, and the rich colours of the leaves changing. I don't even mind it getting dark a little earlier as that is a great reason to be tucked up safely indoors.
