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',

Your Favourite Style: Simple or Fussy (& 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

using Cow digi image by Lili of the Valley

Although I often add a lot of fancy embellishments to my cards, I do actually enjoy making clean and simple cards which keep the focus on the image, especially if it's a cutie!  

Brenda

**coming soon**

Elaine

I don't think I am either simple or fuss , a little middle of the road. This card is probably as fussy as it gets. I always feel if I add too many embellishments my cards become a bit of a clutter.

Larissa

I am definitely a simple girl. I love letting and image shine on a card and often don't add a lot of embellishments. 

Lynne

Normally I am like Elaine, a bit middle of the road, but for "big" birthdays and for a special someone I like to make them fussier with extra embellishments.

Sarah

I am a simple soul but not CAS. I love patterned paper but don't tend to add frilly bits these days and prefer the simple style.

Wilma

Over the years, my type of cards has changed from fussy to simple. Back then, I made cards with many layers and frills, but that has now shifted to more simple. I must say that it is not always easy to make simple cards. And sometimes the paper or stamp is too beautiful to hide.

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.

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

Your Favourite Embellishment (& 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

Using an older image Mouse on Mushroom digi image by Lee Holland

I love creating cards with texture and embellishments, my favourites being paper flowers. I've added a posy of cosmos daisies, roses and tulips to this sweet birthday card.

Brenda

  

I find myself using flatter embellishments to save on postage.  I like small acrylic dots, sequins and gems like the ones on this card.

Elaine

I don't have a favourite embellishment, but I do find myself using Liquid Pearls often to add a bit of texture or emphasis. They are good to fill that little blank area to give extra interest. 

Larissa

Using an older image Bunny by Lee Holland

I don't use much embellishments on my cards. because I don't like making very bulky cards. I love the look of ribbon on my cards. It is a nice decoration, but still really flat, except only for the bow.

Lynne

I like to add a few flat back pearls when it suits the card.  They add a bit of elegance and fill a space when it looks a bit too empty.

Sarah

I am a big fan of enamel dots or pearls. They come in so many colours and add a little something without the bulk.

Wilma

It's over to you.

Rachelle Anne Miller

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.
