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
to have fun and enjoy your crafting time!

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using
Your Favourite Die (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.
Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:
I've recently had a bit of a rummage through my craft stash and reaquainted myself with some of my older dies. I really love this daisy border die which creates such an effective frame around an image, adding a lot of interest and texture while still keeping it fairly flat for postage!
My favorite die right now is one I received as a Christmas surprise. I not only love it because it was such a very sweet gift, it is very versatile and I no longer have to cut my own "seed packets" for junk journals. The set includes so many other useful dies.
I have so many dies I love. This heart die is one I use often for a CAS card. It is elegant and suits a DL size card perfectly. I also love die sentiments.
For many years I have been a big fan of the Crea-Nest-Lies XXL dies by Crealies. These are all kinds of basic shapes, and some of the dies have a lovely decorative edge. I use them very often on my cards, so for today’s challenge I made a card using these dies.
I do use many dies, but I really like my postage collage die. It can be used as it is or cut up to create any style you wish.
Like Annette, I used this theme to have a look at my stash and make use of a die that hasn't seen daylight for a while. This one's been used a few times and makes a lovely feature on a fairly simple layout.
I love letter dies and these are my new favorite. I like the type! They have the perfect height and width and are so 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.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.
