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 !

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
Your Favourite Pet (& 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've had kitties my whole life, and my house wouldn't be a home without a feline companion. I currently have 2, a brother and sister, who are naughty troublemakers, but I wouldn't be without them. I'm rarely alone and the little boy cat in particular is usually only a few inches from my ankles or demanding cuddles on my lap!







I have enjoyed living with several cats and parrot, but it makes sense that my current pup should own my heart, right?  He is a Bordiepoo. a border collie/poodle mix.  I love his cute face, freakishly long legs and his ability to make his wants/needs known.   He leans toward the border collie side because he likes keeping his "herd" together.  He pushes my leg in the direction he wants to go, very often towardf his favorite aunties that live on our street.


 




When my children were young we had rabbits. They were house trained and would come into the house of an evening and stretch out in the lounge. Fond memories.






**coming soon**




It has to be dogs for me as, apart from the odd fish, they are the only pets I have had.  Charlie our little dog is nearly 14 now and the house would seem empty without him .



Don't tell the pony but for the purposes of "pet" I have gone with dogs. We currently have twin sprollies (Dad was a border collie and Mum was a Springer Spaniel). Having been owned by both breeds and loved both characteristics we had to go and take a look when we found a sprollie litter and ended up with two. Ten years on they still make us smile every day with their antics.







II love cats. They are always so cozy when you come home. Always 'someone' to talk to. We haven't had cats for a number of years. If you look deep into my heart, I would love to have a few cats again, but my partner doesn't want them anymore. Also because we are away from home very often.





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.

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.






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.







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






**coming soon**




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.



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






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.

Your Favourite Colour Combo (2+ colours) (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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




My favourite colours are soft pastels, particularly pink, blue and purple, so this sweet bear features all three, including some of my favourite papers and embellishments in the same colour theme.






One of my favorite color combinations is pink, green and white. It has a fresh, clean look to it that is just a pleasure for my eyes to look at and it reminds me of my favorite season, spring.




My favourite colours for a male card is beige, teal and petrol blue with a pop of red. This combo is masculine yet not too dark.





**coming soon**



I love yellow and green against a white background - it's so fresh looking.


My favourite colour combination just has to be pink and green. It's Mother Natures blend that works perfectly every time, no matter the shade or tone of both colours.




I love bright colors, and this paper has a beautiful combination of pink and green with a little bit of brown. The colours make me happy. As long as they are bright colors, they are my favorite.



It's over to you.
