No sponsor this week. 
Just for fun!




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:



 This was an easy choice for me as I've had kitties all my life and I can't imagine a home without a feline furball.  My current clan consist of 11 month old brother and sister duo, and our 18 year old super-senior.





I love them both, but my current favourite is our 15 month old Bordipoo (Border Collie/Poodle) puppy, Koa.  He is such a happy boy, he loves his puppy and human friends and he has never met a stranger.  It makes me smile just thinking about him, how could dogs not be my favourite!




Cats for me, I've had a cat in my life since I was born, love them..






We don't have any pets but if we did it would probably be a dog. My daughter has 2 Springer Spaniels so they are our Grandpups and we get to puppy sit often. 







I have chosen cats for this challenge. I don't have a dog or cat because I am allergic. :( I do love both cats and dogs, but for stamps I really love cat images, so for my card today I have chosen a sweet cat stamp. 




I've never had a cat so it's definitely dogs for me.  They are so loving and loyal. I love it when they cuddle up on your knee at night even if it's only for a few minutes.




For me it's DOGS. Our current hairy kids are Sprollies (Collie x Springer Spaniel) we've had both breeds over the years and were fortunate to find a mixed litter available at the right time when they joined our family eight years ago. They are such a brilliant mix of both breeds, loyal, intelligent and loving. The card I'm sharing is for a Cavalier King Charles loving friend.









For me it's cats, I love them. We had always cats in our house
but at this moment we don't have any cats. 
I'm afraid of dogs since being bitten by a German Shepherd dog as a child. 


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 gift wrapping. I love the idea of the recipient being excited about opening their gift, and the wrapping is part of the fun, including making handmade gift tags to decorate the presents with.  






Junk Journals are my usual non-card paper craft love, but recently I have been trying to decrease the number of UFOs (un-finished objects) I have and this stitched one was so fun.  I even painted, distressed used an unloved frame.  I enjoyed the focus it took to stitch and bringing something unused back to life.  



 
I'm so into no card projects, junk journals and booklets are my top fun..






I love to make boxes. I think they make a small gift look extra special. 





Since a couple of years I have started drawing and painting and I really love it! I love stamping and cardmaking, but I also wanted to try to learn to draw. I love drawing cute animals but I also love drawing flowers.





I have been making some fun pom pom Christmas tags for the younger members of the family.  I nearly always run out of tags and end up having to make some in a hurry so thought I would get ahead of the game this year.




I've made a tag journal (not out of my own head like Chrissy I hasten to add 😉😉). Journals and the like satisfy my papercrafting habit. This was from a digital kit though so my paper stash hasn't shrunk any!! 





I love to make (little) boxes for little presents. These little triangle boxes with a candy in it I made for the ladies in my tennis team. I was new in the team and they made me feel very welcome. 


It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite: 2 Colour Combo (& 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 love pastels colours, and in particular pink and blue (although purple comes a very close third place!).  I love the softness of the colours and most of my favourite papers are one or either of these two colours.






My current favourite is black and white.  It's just an easy combination  that can have so many different looks from elegant to shabby.




I love soft blue and white, it is so clean and fresh and perfect for baby cards.






I like pinks and greens together. They are pleasing to the eye and very feminine. 







I have picked pink and green. I really love the colour pink and love combining it with green. It is such a fresh combination. These colours are perfect for flowers, so today I decided to make a flower card.





I have chosen pink and grey.  I think grey goes with many colours but it makes this bright pink stand out so well.



Pink and green for me, it's Mother Nature's favourite combo!! What ever shade of either colour they always go together.





My favorite colour combo is lime/green and turquoise/bleu. 
They are such fresh colours. They also remind me a bit of a tropical environment. Green for all the trees and blue for the sea.
See my inspiration for the design of the card here
