Cute or Elegant (and why)

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.




CHALLENGE RULES:

Usually we provide 2 or more contrasting options for you to choose from. 
Join us by using your favourite option within your creation. 

To be eligible to win our prize, or top-3 spot, 
you must explain why you've made your choice,
so we can appreciate why you're proud of your creation!

eg, if the theme is 'favourite animal' and you decide on 'rabbits', 
maybe the reason is that you love Thumper, the bunny from Bambi !

So get crafting and remember the main requirement in creating is 
to have fun and enjoy your crafting time!

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
Your Favourite: Cute or Elegant style (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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



I'm not sure elegant is a quality that would apply to me in any thread of my life, and when it comes to cute versus elegant in my crafting, it's definitely cute that wins the vote!  In particular cute critters.






I do like creating elegant cards, but I would say my favorite would be cute.  I love finding cute images and fun, whimsical papers that hopefully will bring a smile.






 I like making both cute and elegant depending the occasion. I do enjoy making cute cards as they are fun to do and the images are adorable. 








It will come as no surprise that I chose cute cards, although that doesn’t mean I don’t also really enjoy making an elegant card from time to time. That said, I have to admit that I especially love making cards with cute little animals on them, so those are my absolute favourites to create.




I do love to make cute cards for little ones but more often than not I make floral cards as I make quite a few for an elderly Aunt to give to her friends.




I can't help myself, it's cute for me. I love quirky stamps or digis of people, animals, houses etc. They are a joy to colour and I can always find a patterned paper to compliment them.







My go to type of card is elegant.  For many years I made cute cards but lately my 'taste' is elegant cards. I am not sure why but this type of card is the first thing I go to.




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.
