Favourite Sporting Activity (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 Sport / Activty (& 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'm not a huge sports fan, but one thing that does get my heart pumping amd muscles aching is gardening. We have a vegetable plot and have grown veggies in the past, but I admit this year I've not dedicated the time to it, so mostly I've just been weeding, rather than enjoying the garden.  I would very much like to change that next year, so we can enjoy picking and eating our own food again.

Brenda

I chose surfing as my favorite sport. It is one you can engage in most days here in the Pacific. Lately, it has been a great way to cool down too.

Elaine

I am not very sporty, but my family are. Cycling is their sport which is taken very seriously. They enter into E-tape races and engage in long distance cycles here and abroad. 

Lynne

I play tennis twice a week and have just started pickleball.  Tennis is my favourite.  I have probably been playing for about 20 years and this card is for one of our tennis friends who is recovering from an operation.

Sarah

My favourite sport is anything that's horse related and enjoy spending time at agricultural shows and watching the equestrian events. 

Wilma

My favorite sport is tennis. Since 2023, I have been playing at a really nice club and have a fun group of ladies there that I play with. We play league matches on Monday mornings. Many tournaments are organized at the club. I really enjoy playing tennis, but not watching it on television. I can't stand the groaning of some players.

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.

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

Your Favourite Non-Card Project (& 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 love making large gift tags to decorate presents, and these supersized Crealies tag dies are my favourites.  They make a present look much more special and I really enjoy making them.

Brenda

I have always loved x-stitch and did a lot of it in my early crafting days, before children.  It requires a certain amount of concentration that takes me away from real life and some of the madness going on.

Elaine

I like to make small boxes when giving gifts. They make the present a little more interesting. 

Larissa

**coming soon**

Lynne

Over the past few months, in between cards, I've been decorating this little house shaped shelving unit.  I've had it for a few years and decided to use up some on my neglected embellishments on it.

Sarah

I am trying to use up paper pads so make lots of little folios for my Grandchildren or to pop inside journals.

Wilma

Since my retiring, I've more time to pick up old hobbies like knitting, crocheting, and bobbin lace. I'm still a bit rusty at it, but practice makes perfect. These are my first crochet projects.

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.

Lili of the Valley

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

Your Favourite Style: Simple or Fussy (& 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 Cow digi image by Lili of the Valley

Although I often add a lot of fancy embellishments to my cards, I do actually enjoy making clean and simple cards which keep the focus on the image, especially if it's a cutie!  

Brenda

using Trio Bunnies Wishes by Lili of the Valley

I lean little more toward clean and simple cards because I really love the more graphic look and ease of posting.

Elaine

I don't think I am either simple or fuss , a little middle of the road. This card is probably as fussy as it gets. I always feel if I add too many embellishments my cards become a bit of a clutter.

Larissa

I am definitely a simple girl. I love letting and image shine on a card and often don't add a lot of embellishments. 

Lynne

Normally I am like Elaine, a bit middle of the road, but for "big" birthdays and for a special someone I like to make them fussier with extra embellishments.

Sarah

I am a simple soul but not CAS. I love patterned paper but don't tend to add frilly bits these days and prefer the simple style.

Wilma

Over the years, my type of cards has changed from fussy to simple. Back then, I made cards with many layers and frills, but that has now shifted to more simple. I must say that it is not always easy to make simple cards. And sometimes the paper or stamp is too beautiful to hide.

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.
