Favourite Occasion (and why)

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!

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.

Brenda

I love making birthday cards.  I like being able to customize them for my friends and family.

 

Elaine

  

Birthday cards are always a favourite to make. It is lovely to make a card fitting to the recipient. These cards are very special. 

Larissa

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.

Lynne

Birthdays are the type I make the most and for family I like to make them relative to their interests.

Sarah

Birthdays for me, particularly at this time of year where I have many family Birthdays. This one is for my Granddaughter Mollie.

Wilma

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.

No sponsor this week - just for fun, free-for-all Christmas theme

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a Christmas project.

Here are the beautiful creations made by our Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

I've made this fat santa belly card from bright red card with some splashes of white, black and gold.  It was quite quick to make, and I love the fun design.

Brenda

I used one of my most favorite digi characters, Birdbrain.  He just makes me smile and the sentiment is my sincere Christmas wish.

Elaine

I love this poinsettia die used in a non traditional way.

Larissa

My favourite christmas project is making tags for the presents I am giving to my family. It just a little lovely extra on a present.

Lynne

I had to have a play with this new die.  I find it relaxing putting all the little bits and pieces in, some inked and some from scraps.

Sarah

I've been cross stitching this year and made this...

Wilma

I have lot of Christmas design papers and I had to use up some of the paper scraps. Found the inspiration on Pinterest. I love the snowflake, which I cut with my Cricut machine.
 

It's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge and show us your style.

Rachelle Anne Miller

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

Your Favourite Gold, Silver or Glitter (& 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 love using glitter on cards, especially to create the effect of snow. I love the sparkle and much prefer it to gold or silver card (which is also difficult to photograph).  I've used glitter card to create the snow layers on this die cut card. It's a tent fold, so stands upright for a fun shaped Christmas card.

Brenda

I favor the look of gold on my cards.  I like the warm elegant feel it gives.

 

Elaine

Silver is my most favourite go to for cards, but at Christmas it is nice to have both silver and glitter. 

Larissa

I am not a big fan of using gold, silver or glitter, but if I have to pick one of these, I prefer glitter. Recently I found white glitter paper, which can be used for snow, It looks amazing.

Lynne

I do like all three but when it comes to making a card with green and red I like to use gold as it looks the best and is more traditional.

Sarah

Come on, it's Christmas soon so I used them ALL, Gold, Silver and Glitter!!

Wilma

I love glitter, but not the glitter that comes off from the (design)paper. So that your fingers and face are covered with glitters and you can't get rid of it. Glitter paper from Joy is my favorite. 
(It's hard to take a good picture of the glitter paper I used) 

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.
