This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
Your Favourite Wild Animal (& 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 picked a fox this week, because we regularly have them visiting our garden at night and I love seeing them pottering around the flower beds!






Using Woodland Snowman image from RAM Stamps, 

Little fuzzy bunnies just steal my heart, especially the little kits. They not only look darling, I just love watching them hop about, checking out the world with their big, soft eyes.







My favourite wild animal is the hedgehog. It is not scary but very cute. I love that I can see them easily in the countryside as well as the garden. 






I do love Giant Pandas with their big black patches. They always seem so gentle (although they're probably not) and their fur looks super soft to touch.


We live in a fairly rural location so are fortunate to get lots of wildlife visit us. My favourite is the hare. They are wonderful to watch and are hard to find in Dorset so it's quite special that we have them close by.






I love cats, and the big version of a cat too. I find the male lion beautiful with his magnificent mane. They have such an imposing appearance.




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.

Your Favourite Colouring Medium (& 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 colouring medium is my disress ink reinkers which I use for watercolouring almost every project. I have recently been learning coloured pencil drawing but I've not managed to use them very successfully for my cards, and I find the watercolouring quite therapeutic anyway, so it's not a bad thing to have both mediums for different hobbies.






I must say, Copic markers are my favorite.  I love the way they blend and I have more experience with them.  I haven't given up on colored pencils, yet, I'm just still trying to get the hang of them.






My favourite colouring medium are Promarkers and Copics. I love the range of colours and the easy way they blend. 







I use copics the most as I have had them from the start of my crafting journey, have lots of them and am more used to the way they blend.  I sometimes have a play with Zig markers, mainly for flowers though.



I love my Promarkers. I have tried many other alcohol markers but always go back to what I know. They blend together beautifully and layer for shading brilliantly too.





I love my Copic markers. They are so easy to blend and there are so much colours.




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.

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



My favourite safari animal has to be the tiger. I've loved them since I was tiny and I remember learning all about them for a scrapbook project I made when I was at primary school. They're still my favourite now, beautful and graceful.






The more I learn about elephants, the more favorite they become.  They have such a strong sense of family/herd and protect each other fiercely.







I like this lion image for male cards. It is cute and is adaptable for a number of occasions. 







My choice is elephants, especially the young ones.  It's great to see them running about and as Brenda says, I love how they are so family orientated.




I'll be honest, I really don't have a favourite safari animal as such, BUT, I am rather partial to this rather adorable rhinoceros that is in my stash!






I don't know if a ring-tailed lemur is a safari animal? Ever since I saw the Madagascar movies, I've been a huge fan of King Julian. My friend's daughter is going on vacation to Madagascar and I made this card for her. It makes me very happy.





It's over to you.
