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

Your Favourite Sketch(& 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

This was an easy one for me, because I revisit this particular layout very often. I like the ability to showcase 2 pretty papers with their join covered by some pretty satin ribbon across the card.  I frame a circular image panel with flowers in opposite diagonals, a double bow and a trio of flat backed pearls in the opposite corners. It enables me to use my favourite embellishments (flowers, ribbons and pearls) in a 3D card.

Brenda

**coming soon**

Elaine

I don't have a favourite sketch. This sketch is one I have used a couple of times for a quick card. 

Larissa

I have pretty simple favourite sketch that is really versatile. It is just a layer of cardstock with a border of patterned paper or cardstock under or on the sides. It gives much room for a large image or even a little scene.

Lynne

If the image allows I do like this sketch. It's simple and effective.

Sarah

If I am short of inspiration I visit Jules who has a plethora of sketches that she has devised over the years. On this occasion I have used Square #56

Wilma

I like this sketch and I often use it. It's simple and versatile.

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.

Dies to Die For

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

Your Favourite Soft or Bold 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:

Annette

I've used some pastel Springtime tones which I much prefer to bold bright colours as they feel warmer and softer. 

Elaine

I love using colours, but it all depends on the occasion and the recipient. I have used a splash of soft colour on this card as these are my sister in law's favourite colours.

 

Larissa

I love cards with soft colours, but most of the times when I make a card it has really bold colours. I really try to use soft colours, but then something happens and I have really bright and bold colours, so I guess I am team bold colours. ;) But that is okay, because I also love the bright and bold colours. 

Lynne

I prefer to use bolder colours for children's cards. I think they get their attention more than soft colours.

Sarah

I love bold colours, colour that is a little bit unusual perhaps or catches the eye. I have made some Christmas cards. The blue really is much brighter in real life!!

Wilma
For me, my favorite colours are bright colors. They always cheer me up. You won't see me in brown/gray/black clothes very often. So my outfit and creations are mostly in bright colors.

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.

Lili of the Valley

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

Your Favourite Style - Clean 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 In The Country by Lili of the Valley Stamps

I do tend to swap between styles, with some of my more feminine cards being festooned with flowers, ribbons, pearls etc, but I also find it satisfying when a beautifully coloured image takes the centre stage.  

Elaine

I prefer not too fussy cards, so I have made a card more CAS. I find it difficult to add too many embellishment without my card looking over dressed.

Larissa

I love making clean cards. I don't like making really bulky cards with lots of embellishments on them. I really love the look of a clean card. 

Lynne

Most of my cards are on the cleaner side nowadays, but when the  oportunity arises for a special birthday I do love to make a fussy one.

Sarah

I love a bit of fussy especially when I can use some of my paper pads!! This one gave me the chance to put an under used die set to work to create lots of colourful layers.

Wilma

Lately I make more clean cards. I love that simplicity has a big impact. It's hard to see in this picture but in the background there are butterflies.

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.
