You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Anne
I love pink and it goes well with so many other colours. My favourites combinations are green or aqua so I chose the latter here. This image is from the LOTV 2020 Christmas launch which is out on Friday and I like the modern colours for a change rather than traditional green and red x





My favourite is pink and cream (yes I know I've technically added some green, but I figured that a bit of grass was permitted!).  I think that the strawberry and cream colours are so pretty together.






My favourite combination using pink is currently pink and grey.  I love the way the neutral colour allows pink to pop!





Elaine

Pink and green. I love this cheerful and pretty combo. It has a feel of summer and happy notes.





I love pink and green together. They are so pretty together. This is the perfect colour combination for a pretty flower card. 



I love pink with any colour but I do think green compliments it well. I would usually go for a flowery theme with this colour combination but I decided to make a Christmas card while we are having such hot weather!



I love pink and grey together.  I think it's so pretty and elegant looking.



I have gone with green as Mother Nature makes such a good job of putting these two together!!


I've perhaps paired my pink with a slightly unexpected colour, and have chosen brown.  The reason why is that pink and brown together remind me so much of the "mallow cones" that our local cake shop used to sell, and they were always a treat for special occasions.  A blast from the past, although if you hunt far enough, you can still find them!





Pink is not my favourite colour, but I like the combination with my favourite colour green.



So now 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.

So, onto our next challenge





The sponsor of this challenge is

Polkadoodles Ltd



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

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

Firstly, from Jules, or fabulous Guest Designer for July.
We've loved having you play along with us this month and your cards have been amazing.
You've ended on a high with this cutie too.

Jules
I have no preference for “real” dogs or cats .. .. .. but I do love the cats in my Penny Black stamp collection


Anne

Using Horace & Boo
I've always been a dog girl, my Manny is my best friend in the World.
This Horace and Boo collection from Polkadoodles covers both though because there's a cat and a dog! I love the digi kit, all the little pre coloured elements are great for a quick card





Dogs have masters, cats have slaves.
It's safe to say that I've always been a slave!  
I've had kitties since I was a toddler and my home 
doesn't feel complete without a furry feline companion.




I'm a dog person.  I love the way you can always see how much they love you in their eyes and how they make you laugh with all their funny antics.
I have to opt for dogs. Although I don't have a dog I do like to snuggle up with my daughters pooch. Also I have more dog images than cats.





Larissa
 I have never owned a dog or cat. My cousins had a dog that I saw very often and I really liked him. He and I were big buddies. We always went for long walks, so I guess I have a little preference for dogs.





I've never had pets and have no preference over cats or dogs so in terms of making a card, I tend to choose a cute image that I like at the time, and I do think that Scruff the dog is quite cute.




I have never owned a cat and, as we have two dogs, I have to say I prefer them.  They are so affectionate and always want to be with you.




There is nothing quite like a dog to greet you at the door, they are always pleased to see you and love you more than anything on earth.



I've had cats in my life since I was born, literally - Sam, the farm tabby, used to sleep under my pram in the garden and wouldn't let anyone near, he was a fierce guard cat!  I can't imagine being without one now, with their cuteness (when they want), their calming purrs, their antics, scheming, mischief, all in all life would be dull without a furry feline buddy.






Cats! 
I love to play and cuddle with them. They are so cute and make me smile.






So now 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.

Jules
Summer has to win this choice as this is when we get to enjoy beautiful long sunny days (if we are lucky), we can walk out without a coat and hopefully enjoy the odd picnic or two.



Anne
Although Autumn is my favourite season (Halloween, bonfire night, pumpkins, wind, leaves etc) when it comes to crafting I would have to choose Summer. I love to use bright colours on my cards and lots of sunshine, flowers and of course bunting!







I love the long warm days of summer; lots of sunshine and all the garden (ok, weeds) in colour. I love the longer evenings before it gets dark because it really feels like I can spend some time in daylight outside of work.





Brenda
I love the bright warm sun of summer and all the beautiful flowers growing in my yard.
Summer has to be my choice. I love the garden full of flowers, all the colours and the warm sun.






I like both seasons. Autumn is great because of all of its colours and autumn is the season for Halloween cards and I really enjoy making those. But summer is also really great because most of the time it means warm weather and happy people. 






I love summer. Nice weather, pretty flowers and being able to get outside without getting cold!


I much prefer summer to autumn when the gardens are at their best and all the flowers are in full bloom.


I love the autumn. The colours are glorious and I love riding or kicking my way through the crunchy leaves on misty mornings.



It's autumn for me.  I don't like the intense heat of summer (or the bugs) but love the mellow warmth and the light of autumn days, even when there is a chill first thing in the morning, and the rich colours of the leaves changing.  I don't even mind it getting dark a little earlier as that is a great reason to be tucked up safely indoors.




Autumn. I really enjoy the discolouration of the leaves. 
I even like the weather. 






So now 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.
