Annette

I love the warmth of summer, flowers in bloom, the long days and light evenings.

Samantha

Winter & WHY? Well that is the season that everyone should be jolly! And its Christmas too! All that aside I LOVE the way a freshly laid dusting of snow looks and I LOVE walking in snow too! Seeing my foot prints and then seeing all the different foot prints down to tiny mice and bird foot prints too! Oh and I can make Christmas cards too! yay!

Carol

I love cosy colours so its Autumn for me. Love the rich colours the leaves turn, such a beautiful time in the countryside, nothing beats a walk through the woods and back home to a cosy fire!

Mojca

Definitely summer ... sunshine and sea always bring smile on my face.

Sarah

The romantic in me says Winter. Frosty walks, toasty log burner and cosy duvets!!

Suzette
Spring/Summer both my favourite seasons because I love flowers, ladybirds and butterflies

Wilma
Winter is my favourite season. Especially when we have snow, I love snow. I like cold weather and coming home in a warm and cosy house. And of course the typical Dutch Pea Soup and hotpots we eat in this season. 

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite Season (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

The sponsor of this challenge is

Crafty Sentiments

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite 2 Embellishments (& why).

You MUST explain WHY they are your 2 favourites.

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

Annette

Pearls and ribbons have been my favourites for a long time.  I love the softness of the ribbon, and creating a little trio of pearls, usually to fill a corner.  I also like using pearls in the scoops of these scalloped cards.

Samantha

My Favourite embellishments are Enamel dots and Bakers twine
I love both of these embellishments because they come in all different colours of the rainbow and are great on all card types.

Carol
using Little Friends
Butterflies and Pearls. I love Butterflies 'cause they are so pretty as the focal point or to dot about here and there and Pearls, one of my favourite pieces of jewellery .

Mojca
using With Love

I love ribbon and pearls. They work so gorgeous together. 

Sarah
using Tess Summer Fun

When I use embellishments I will always reach for seam binding, for a lovely soft bow and pearls for a bit of texture and interest, particularly in corners or to balance the card. 

Suzette
I love vintage laces and paper flowers as well as frantage....I am a vintage girl lol!

Wilma
using Harriet Witchy Ride
For me my 2 favorite embellishments are rhinestones and twine. The rhinestones give my cards a bit of bling and fill up corners or the heart of a flower. And the twine gives a playful effect behind a sentiment or flower. 

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite 2 Embellishments (& why).

You MUST explain WHY they are your 2 favourites.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

your Favourite Papers? Please remember
to explain WHY they are your favourites!

Our fabulous Guest Designers is 
Tammy Louise from Shape EZ

My favorite Authentique papers
It's my favorite because of the huge amount of color coordinated two sided 12 x 12 sheets of greens and blues with that lovely Paisley print it's the Loyal Collection by Authentique.

Here are the fabulous design team creations to get you thinking.
We are looking forward to seeing what are your favourites
 and what you will make with them.

Annette

I have been in love with these Papermania papers since my first pad (I've now been through a few pads in various sizes!).  It is full of my favourite colours: pinks, purples and aquas. Some are glittered and others not, but there is not one design in the pad that I don't love, which is sometimes quite rare.

Samantha
I don't have to think very hard about which papers are my favourites; I LOVE Echo Park there are others I love, but Echo Park are at the top of the pile, there are so many different designs and I have never yet found a page in the blocks that I do not like!

Carol

I've made quite a few things of late with my favourite papers, it has to be the Papermania Parisienne Blues papers. My favourite colour and so love the different patterns. So pretty.

Mojca

I just love Prima papers; the variety of patterns and colours always impresses me.

Sarah

I had a difficult choice, My Mind's Eye or Nitwits? I love them equally for the diverse range of papers available but on this occasion Nitwits suited the template and style I was aiming for.

Wilma

I am totally in love with these Doodlebug papers. Green is my favourite colour and there is plenty of green in it. The colours are so bright and beautiful and make me feel happy. 

Ok so now it's your turn!
We hope you will join in our challenge,
show us your style and showcase your Favourite Papers (& why).

Good luck, and happy crafting.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
