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

Your Favourite Favourite Pearls or Gems (& 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 am definitely more a fan of the subtle sheen of pearls than the glimmer of gems, and I have lots of flat backed pearls in different colours.  For this project I've also added extra pearls in the form of a pin, peeking out amongst the flower embellishments.

Brenda

I tend to like pearls better.  They lend a soft, elegant look to projects and go so well with a shabby chic look like this small junk journal.

Elaine

I use both pearls and gems. This card is embellished with small nail art black gems. They are ideal for the edge of these poppies.

Larissa

I love both gems and pearls. It depends on the project which kind I prefer. Pearls are for a more elegant look and today I wanted to use black gems, because they fit with the colours and look of my card.  

Lynne

I like both, but I use pearls a lot more than gems. They always seem to suit my cards better and are more elegant.

Sarah

I seem to have a rather large collection of pearls, in most colours, so pearls are my definite go to. They add a lovely bit of femininity to a card or project.

Wilma

 It depends on the type of card I make. I felt this card needed pearls. But I also love to use gems. 

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

(Sponsors from next week, just for fun this week)

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

Your Favourite Paper Brand (& 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

My favourite papers are from Nitwit Collections.  I've loved their papers since LOTV created some printed versions, but sadly most of my pads are used and I'm reliant on the digital versions.  Their papers are so beautiful and there are so many pretty papers (I must have hundreds of them) and they're my go-to papers when I need some creative motivation.  I've even paper-pieced the heart in James' arms to match the background.

Brenda

I have really come to love digital papers from Pink Monarch Designs.  Anna has many digital "kits" which I also love, but so many of her different paper collections work so well together.

Elaine

I like 1st Edition papers. Some are double sided and others embossing. They are great for  quick co-ordinating card.

Larissa

My favourite brand is Sunny studio stamps. I love simple paper in cheerful colors with very simple patterns on it, such as stripes, checks, or polka dots and they have lots of those.

Lynne

I still love my old 8" LOTV paper pads. Much easier than a 6" pad, but I have a lot of snippets to use hence my patchwork card to use some of them up.

Sarah

I LOVE My Favorite Things especially for girly cards as their ditsy prints are just the right size and colour. That said they have papers to suit most card types too!!

Wilma

I love my collection of Doodle Bug papers. The colours are so bright and cheerful. The designs are so pretty 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.
