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

your Favourite: Sketch / Layout (& 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

If you're a regular visitor to my personal blog, you will recognize this as being a layout that I return to time and time again. I love the pretty design of this card, with its two complementary designer papers and a strip of ribbon hiding the join. As usual it's decorated with a double bow and a cluster of papers flowers on both diagonals.

Brenda

I love a sketch with layers and this one fits that bill. It works well for florals as well as cute images and allows me to use scalloped die cuts or punches.

Chrissy.

I can honestly say I have had no favourite sketch until now..

and I will definitely use this one again..

Elaine

I like to make batch Christmas cards. This makes it easy when I stick to the one layout and just change papers and colours.

Larissa

I love making clean and simple cards and this sketch is perfect for it. It is just a simple strip of patterned paper combined with (most of the times) white cardstock. You can make your card as clean as you want. If you want it to be really clean you just add an image and sentiment, but you also can decide to make it less clean with stencils and ink. So I think it is a really versatile but easy to use sketch.

Lynne

This tends to be my favourite layout when I'm having a brain fog moment and can't think of what to do. It also helps to use up some of my patterned papers of which I have way too much!

Sarah

I LOVE a sketch and never more so than when I am lacking crafty mojo. My first stop is always to Jules at Always with a Heart. She has a huge library of sketches and I have used many of them.

On this occasion I used Square #37
