Favourite Person to Craft for (& why)

Welcome to As You Like It Challenge

Our fortnightly challenge is a home for you to create something 

which gives you a warm "inner glow" of pride, without lots of entry rules.

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 !

So get crafting and remember the main requirement in creating is

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Person to Craft for (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Annette

It's always nice to receive complements when you give a hand crafted item, and today's card is made for a sweet friend who always appreciates the work that's gone into a hand crafted card.  She usually opens her card in front of me and shows it around the office to all her co-workers. It's a really nice feeling to know that your creations are enjoyed and kept rather than binned once the special occasion has passed.

Brenda

My granddaughter lives about 4000 miles from me.  We do a lot of FaceTiming but I love sending special little cards to help her feel closer to me.

Elaine

I enjoy making cards for family members, especially my Grandson. It is so nice to make them very personal.

Larissa

using Stacked chicks

I really enjoy making cards for my family — especially for my mum or my nephews. This time I made a card for my mum, simply because she’s always happy to receive a card or anything handmade.

Lynne

Family members are my favourite, but for this challenge I've chosen hubby.  He knows I don't make many masculine cards so when I make one for his birthday he really appreciates it.

Sarah

I have many favourites that I enjoy making gifts/cards for so I usually have a few handmade papercraft gifts in my stash just to give as a thinking of you gift. This particular project was made for a friend who's been suffering ill health.

Wilma

I have a lot of favourite persons to make a card for. I like to send a birthday girl or boy a home made card.  My big sister is one of my favorite persons to make a card for. So this one is for her. She loves to receive them.  Sometimes I make her a box with different types of cards that she can send.

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.

Last Minute Manda

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite Colour (main colour of project, not necessarily monochrome) (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Annette

Pastels are my favourites, as I find them calming on the eye.  In particular I like blue, pink and purple.  I've chosen this pretty pastel blue because the card and papers are some of my favourites.  I believe the image might be a robin, but I've chosen to colour him as a chubby kingfisher to continue the blue theme.

Brenda

 

Recently, I have been drawn to neutrals in the beige range.  I love that so many colors work so easily with them.  I particularly like the green and pink with the beige in these small file folders.

Elaine

I like neutral backgrounds to make the elements stand out, especially slightly embossed effect papers. I can then add any colours to make my Christmas cards all a little different. 

Larissa

My favourite colour (in cardmaking) is pink. I just love the look of it. Bright or a pastel, it doesn't matter: I love it all!

Lynne

Blues and purples have been my favourite colours for a long time, but I have stuck with blue for this card.

Sarah

My main colour here is blue, because it's my Sister's favourite colour and I needed to challenge myself!

Wilma

My main colour is green, because my favourite colour is green. I'll often use this colour for male cards. 

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.

Lawn Fawn

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 

Your Favourite: Cute or Elegant style (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

Annette

I'm not sure elegant is a quality that would apply to me in any thread of my life, and when it comes to cute versus elegant in my crafting, it's definitely cute that wins the vote!  In particular cute critters.

Brenda

I do like creating elegant cards, but I would say my favorite would be cute.  I love finding cute images and fun, whimsical papers that hopefully will bring a smile.

Elaine

 I like making both cute and elegant depending the occasion. I do enjoy making cute cards as they are fun to do and the images are adorable. 

Larissa

Using Valentine mice from Lawn fawn

It will come as no surprise that I chose cute cards, although that doesn’t mean I don’t also really enjoy making an elegant card from time to time. That said, I have to admit that I especially love making cards with cute little animals on them, so those are my absolute favourites to create.

Lynne

I do love to make cute cards for little ones but more often than not I make floral cards as I make quite a few for an elderly Aunt to give to her friends.

Sarah

I can't help myself, it's cute for me. I love quirky stamps or digis of people, animals, houses etc. They are a joy to colour and I can always find a patterned paper to compliment them.

Wilma

My go to type of card is elegant.  For many years I made cute cards but lately my 'taste' is elegant cards. I am not sure why but this type of card is the first thing I go to.

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.
