Happy New Year to all our lovely Crafting Friends!
Welcome back to a new year at 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!
Thank you to everyone who entered our last challenge.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using
Your Favourite Occasion (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.
Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:
Christmas would usually be my favourite crafting occasion, but as it's January I'm not feeling the festive vibe at the moment, so I've switched my allegiance to birthdays for today's card which is for my Auntie, whose birthday is next week.
I love making birthday cards. I like being able to customize them for my friends and family.
Birthday cards are always a favourite to make. It is lovely to make a card fitting to the recipient. These cards are very special.
I really love making birthday projects. It is so much fun to make a card or little present for a special person in your life. And because you made something special for them, most of the times really will appreciate it. For today's challenge I made a little box for a chocolate bar.
Birthdays are the type I make the most and for family I like to make them relative to their interests.
Birthdays for me, particularly at this time of year where I have many family Birthdays. This one is for my Granddaughter Mollie.
My favorite occasion is a birthday card. I like to send birthday cards. These days, people don't send many cards anymore because stamps are expensive and the mail takes longer to deliver. It's easier to send someone a text or an email; it takes less effort. And most of all I love making cards and I find them more personal than a text or email.
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.
