Welcome to As You Like It Challenge

Our fortnightly challenge is a home for you to create something

which gives you a warm "inner glow" of pride, without lots of entry rules.

Usually we provide options for you to choose from.

You just need to select and use your favourite option in order to join in.

For a chance to win our prize or top-3 spot,

you need to tell us why you've made your choice.

That way our team and readers can appreciate why it's your favourite.

eg, if the theme is 'favourite animal' and you decide on 'bunny', tell us why.
eg, you love Thumper, the rabbit from Bambi !

So get crafting and remember to have fun

and enjoy your crafting time.

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

Your Favourite Harvest Colours (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Annette

Although orange wouldn't normally be one of my favourite colours, in autumn it's lovely to see all the leaves turning before they create their carpet. Does anyone else like kicking through the crispy leaves in Autumn?

Brenda

I love the orange, deep yellow and burgundy that show up on all the beautiful trees at harvest time. I love that Nature has such a way with colors you would sometime not expect. These colors hold lovely memories for me.

Chrissy

Harvest colours to me are the same as Autumn, love the yellow,oranges,and reds.

Elaine

My favourite harvest colours are the gold, red and grey/green of the autumn trees. everything seems a little more mellow.

Larissa

I really love the warm colours of autumn, that are also harvest colours. I love the warm orange of pumpkins and also the pretty warm yellows and dark greens.

Lynne

I love all the colours that come with Harvest and Autumn time, the deep reds, golds, dark greens and oranges. They make the trees look gorgeous.

Sarah

I LOVE harvest colours. Reds, russets and golds, the colours of autumn leaves.

Squirrel

I love the warmth of harvest colours, the golds, reds, and greens of ripe

fruit and vegetables, a season of plenty, a full table of tasty things,

Wilma

Orange, yellow and brown are my favorite harvest colours.
The beautiful orange of the pumpkins and the ripe corn. And of course the gorgeous colours of the leaves on the trees.

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.

Lee Holland

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

Your Favourite Autumn or Winter (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Annette

using Teddy Bear Decorating a Christmas Tree by Lee Holland

I love wintry images and the excuse to use a little glitter on the snowy scenes. I have far more Christmas images than any other theme, so I think that supports my claim that Christmas is my favourite theme to craft for!

Brenda

Itʻs autumn for me. I love the wonderful colors the leaves turn, the cool, crisp air and of course, football!

Chrissy

My favourite is Autumn, hands down, Autumn, the smell, the damp the colours, magical..

Elaine

I prefer winter. I love long crafting nights making Christmas cards.

Larissa

I have chosen autumn, although I also love winter when it is really cold and the skies are blue and the sun is shining. I love the pretty colours of the fall. Trees look amazing during the autumn months.

Lynne

Crafting wise I much prefer to make winter/Christmas cards. They are the type where you have a good reason to use glitter, even though it never shows up very well on photos!

Sarah

I was born in February, so a winter baby, and actually LOVE cold and frosty mornings and dark nights in front of the fire or snuggled under the duvet when it's raining outside. Also, like Annette I have far more Christmas stamps and images than anything else!
