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

your Favourite: Sketch / Layout (& 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

If you're a regular visitor to my personal blog, you will recognize this as being a layout that I return to time and time again.  I love the pretty design of this card, with its two complementary designer papers and a strip of ribbon hiding the join.  As usual it's decorated with a double bow and a cluster of papers flowers on both diagonals.  

Brenda

I love a sketch with layers and this one fits that bill.   It works well for florals as well as cute images and allows me to use scalloped die cuts or punches.

Chrissy. 

I can honestly say I have had no favourite sketch until now..

and I will definitely use this one again..

Elaine

I like to make batch Christmas cards. This makes it easy when I stick to the one layout and just change papers and colours. 

Larissa

I love making clean and simple cards and this sketch is perfect for it. It is just a simple strip of patterned paper combined with (most of the times) white cardstock. You can make your card as clean as you want. If you want it to be really clean you just add an image and sentiment, but you also can decide to make it less clean with stencils and ink. So I think it is a really versatile but easy to use sketch.

Lynne

This tends to be my favourite layout when I'm having a brain fog moment and can't think of what to do.  It also helps to use up some of my patterned papers of which I have way too much!

Sarah

I LOVE a sketch and never more so than when I am lacking crafty mojo. My first stop is always to Jules at Always with a Heart. She has a huge library of sketches and I have used many of them.

 On this occasion I used Square #37

Wilma

I like most of the sketches from My Favorite Things. This one I used more than once. Not to many layers.

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.

So, onto our next challenge

No sponsor this week - we're playing just for fun.

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 honestly thought I would pick soft colours every time, but having a look at some of my recent cards they've been fairly bright and bold. But I'm sticking to my guns and opting for soft pastels, because I'd definitely pick softer colours out of any line up!

Brenda

I tend to use a lot of soft or neutral colors, there is just something comforting and homey about them.  

Chrissy

 

I tend to go bold, I love the boldness of red, white,

and blue especially for nautical..

Elaine

I love using bold colours when I make a card for a child. I like the colours to stand out and be eye catching. 

Larissa

I often want to make a card with soft colours, but most of the time I end up with bold colours, so I made a bold coloured card for today with my favourite card colour: pink.

Lynne

When it comes to flowers I do love bold colours, especially against a white background, which makes them stand out so well and enhances their colours.

Sarah

My "go to" is bold. Like Wilma, I wear bold colours, like bold home decor and most elements of my crafting have some bright or bold colour. 

Wilma

Bold colours! For cards, clothes (always bright/bold colours), furniture (I have a bold green leather chair and a Ton Schulten painting) I go for bold 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.
