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

Your Favourite Masculine or Feminine (& 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

I very much favour the cute, fussy, floral style and I find the more traditionally masculine / minimalist cards much more of a challenge!

Brenda

Today I am picking masculine.  When I have the right supplies and the right inspiration, I love making masculine because it challenges me.  

  

Chrissy

Masculine projects are my absolute favourite with a very large masculine family

it sort of has to be, but I love making them..

 

Elaine

I just love making cards. Male cards are a good challenge, so I have chosen feminine today as I love creating with pretty flowers. 

Larissa

Most of the times my cards are made for women, but I also love making cards for my nephews. They are still young, so I don't have to make a very masculine card, which makes everything a bit easier. Both boys can speak english now, so extra bonus that I can use this fun sentiment on a card that I have made for them!

Lynne

Definitely feminine for me.  I like adding embellishments such as flowers, pearls etc and you can't really do that so much with a masculine card.

Sarah

Well, usually I would say Feminine BUT this year I have challenged myself to make more masculine cards. These designa are a pretty good start, I think!!

Wilma

I love them equally although masculine cards are a bit more challenging. With the right papers and colours it isn't hard. Lately I am making more masculine cards to build up a stash.  

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.

So, onto our next challenge

There's no sponsor fof this challenge, 

so we're playing for the pure enjoyment of crafting this week.

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

Your Favourite: Stamps or Digis (& 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

I confess that I do love the benefits of a digital stamp, including storage, re-sizing, masking and merging and the confidence that there's a reduced chance of wasting watercolour card on a mis-print, but I also still love my physical stamps. There's something special about peeling back the rubber and seeing a perfectly inked image on the card!  I must admit this image was a particular challenge in that respect, and I had several increasingly frustating attempts before I got a fully stamped image becuase it's such a big stamp.

Brenda

Once again I am torn.  I love that digis are easy to store and you can size them as needed, but there is just something about a good ole red rubber-stamp that makes me happy.  I love the clarity of the image when you get a good press and it's just so much fun to do.

Chrissy

Digi's for me, you can make them as big as you want or as small as you want..

Elaine

I have used a digi image for my card. I love how I can get a suitable image for card without having to buy stamps I would possibly only use once or twice. 

Larissa

 I really love working with digital stamps, because they have a lot of advantages. You can print in every size you want, you are able to mirror your image and if you know how, you can easily combine more images at once without having to mask your images. I also love it that these images don't take up any space in your craft room. But I also love using real stamps, because they have their own advantages, but most of the times I use digital stamps.

Lynne

I do love both, but digis win on being able to resize them and I love to use the odd pre-coloured digi when I don't have so much time to colour as with this card.

Sarah

Stamps for me. I have rekindled my love affair with rubber/clear stamps this year and have had great fun trawling through my collection.

Wilma

Stamps for me. I have a lot and I mean a LOT of stamps. In many shapes, sizes and images. So I have a lot of choice when making a card. I really love this snail.

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.
