So, onto our next challenge

(Sponsors from next week, just for fun this week)

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

Your Favourite Paper Brand (& 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

My favourite papers are from Nitwit Collections. I've loved their papers since LOTV created some printed versions, but sadly most of my pads are used and I'm reliant on the digital versions. Their papers are so beautiful and there are so many pretty papers (I must have hundreds of them) and they're my go-to papers when I need some creative motivation. I've even paper-pieced the heart in James' arms to match the background.

Brenda

I have really come to love digital papers from Pink Monarch Designs. Anna has many digital "kits" which I also love, but so many of her different paper collections work so well together.

Elaine

I like 1st Edition papers. Some are double sided and others embossing. They are great for quick co-ordinating card.

Larissa

My favourite brand is Sunny studio stamps. I love simple paper in cheerful colors with very simple patterns on it, such as stripes, checks, or polka dots and they have lots of those.

Lynne

I still love my old 8" LOTV paper pads. Much easier than a 6" pad, but I have a lot of snippets to use hence my patchwork card to use some of them up.

Sarah

I LOVE My Favorite Things especially for girly cards as their ditsy prints are just the right size and colour. That said they have papers to suit most card types too!!

Wilma

I love my collection of Doodle Bug papers. The colours are so bright and cheerful. The designs are so pretty and versatile.

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.

Anything Christmassy

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

Annette

I love wintry scenes for Christmas!

Brenda

I love putting all the sparkle and shine of Christmas on my cards. It gives such a festive feeling. (But sometimes they are hard to photograph).

Chrissy

I love anything Christmassy..

Elaine

Lovely traditional colours

Larissa

This year I have been working on a big project: 24 days of Christmas tags, so my project for today is a Christmas tag. Love making and using them and I am really in love with the one I made for today. Really like the pink instead of traditional red, which I also love a lot!

Lynne

Love this digi image, so easy to colour.

Sarah

I am sharing an inviting festive front door.

Wilma

A simple and colourful Christmas card. I love the Doodle bug papers.

It's over to you.

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

your Favourite: Ribbon or Twine (& 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

This is an easy choice for me as I have a huge box of ribbon rolls, in various colours, textures and widths. My favourite is a lovely 15mm satin ribbon tied in a double bow, which beautifully frames the festive image that I've watercoloured for today's card. I love the softness of the ribbon and the beautiful range of colours to accent my card.

Brenda

I love ribbon and have a very nice stash of it, but I seem to use twine more often. I love the rustic, grungy look of it and the fact that it isn't so thick.

Chrissy

Not a big ribbon user but I do love my twine, be it, leather, string or whatever

to tie up my booklets...

Elaine

I don't use ribbon or twine too often, but I do have lots in my stash. I am not the best at making bows so a simple knot looks better on my cards.

Larissa

I love using twine, because it is thin and easy to use. I love the look of it.

Lynne

I do use both but, with this style of card, I think ribbon with a little bow is more suitable.

Sarah

Since I have branched out into journalling and other forms of papercrafting, twine has been my favourite. Here I have used it as fastenings for this folio.
