Welcome to As You Like It Challenge

Our fortnightly challenge is a home for you to create something

Usually we provide options for you to choose from. 

You just need to select and use your favourite option in order to join in. 

For a chance to win our prize or top-3 spot,

eg, if the theme is 'favourite animal' and you decide on 'bunny', tell us why.
eg, you love Thumper, the rabbit from Bambi !

So get crafting and remember to have fun

Your Favourite Christmas Colours (modern or traditional) & 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

using Polar Bear from Winter Wonderland bundle

Although I can apprecaite the warmth of deep reds, golds and evergreens at Christmas, I really love soft pinks and purples at Christmas too. I've used one of my favourite wintry papers on this pastels card with some pink accents.

Brenda

I love Christmas in any color, but tend to make cards with traditional Christmas colors.  I love them because right away, red and green make me think of my favorite time of the year, Christmas!

Chrissy

I used to be very traditional but my favourite these days is modern,

especially white and grey..

Elaine

I usually make Christmas cards in traditional colours, but occasionally I use something different. I like this combination of a moss green and a deep pinks. It is still festive. 

Larissa

Using Sponsor Image: Holly Mouse

I love making christmas cards in traditional colours. I really love the red, because it really pops!

Lynne

I like to use modern colours now again for a change from red and green and my favourite colours are lilac/purple.  This shade goes so well with silver.

Sarah

I tend to favour cute and whimsical images so, more often than not, I team them with more modern colours. For these two I have used adorable penguins from our lovely sponsor Amanda Jayne Designs.

Squirrel 

I flip-flop between modern and traditional colours, and this year, for me, traditional

are back in favour.  There's just something so Christmassy about the reds and greens with the occasional sprinkle of gold.

Wilma

My favorite Christmas colors are the traditional colours. But I also like to make Christmas cards in modern colours. Preferably in blue.

For this challenge I'm going for the colours green and red.

So now 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.

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

Your Favourite Plain or Patterned Papers (& 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

using Daisy Bear and Tutti Fruitti Papers by Amanda Jayne Designs

I'm definitely a fan of a huge variety of pretty patterned papers, particularly florals, and for today's card I've used some pretty citrus colours to match the colours in my image.

Brenda

I love patterned papers.  There are so many wonderful choices both digital and hard copy.  Itʻs fun looking for the perfect papers to go with the perfect image.

Chrissy

I love my patterned papers, if I've made my own or used DP I love them..

Elaine

I have so many pattern papers that I don't think I will get round to using them all, it would take decades. I just can't resist buying more, it must be an addiction!. Am I alone?

Larissa

using Lollipop bunny from Amanda Jayne designs.

I am not a big fan of patterned paper, because I think it is hard to use. Most of the times when I use it I just use one sheet with a subtle pattern. But I also really enjoy making cards with just cardstock. Sometimes it is coloured and sometimes it is white and I am adding my own colour with ink blending. For our challenge today I decided to go for coloured cardstock, pink and white and I don't think my card needs anything else.

Lynne

I have way too much patterned paper so I love it when a card comes together and I can put some of it to use.

Sarah

This is the theme of my dreams because I LOVE patterned papers. I always pick the papers first and colour the image to match. I picked an old favourite Doodlebug Designs Frosty Friends to compliment the adorable image from Christmas Cuties

Squirrel 

I'm a sucker for patterned papers, I love that they can add so much interest and pops of colour, I especially love it when manufacturers coordinate the colours throughout the range so I don't have to worry about which pad I take which paper from, I just know it will go with another

Wilma

I have loads of patterned papers! I like to coordinate the paper with the image I'm going to use. In this case a birthday cat combined with paper with balloons and cakes.

So now 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.

Amanda Jayne Designs

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

Your Favourite Spring or Summer (& 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

Using  Elephant Bundle from Amanda Jayne Designs

and Tutti Fruitti Paper Bundle from Amanda Jayne Designs

I love the summery feel to this card with the bright citrus colours and pretty florals. I love those few months of longer and warmer days before autumn.

Brenda

 Spring is my favorite.  I love the beautiful weather, the special events that happen locally in the spring and the return of the plumeria flowers.

Chrissy

I'm a spring girl far more than Summer..

made some Spring like coaster

Elaine

I like both spring and summer when the weather gets warmer and the bees and butterflies return. Colours seem so much more vivid and beautiful. 

Larissa

I have picked spring cards, because I really love this season. The flowers are starting to blossom again, young animals are born everywhere and the weather is getting warmer.

Lynne

I prefer Spring. I love seeing the garden coming to life after being so bare in the winter and the birds building their nests.

Sarah

Amanda Jayne Designs Alphabet Bunny Bundle

Amanda Jayne Designs Pink & Peach Florals

Spring for me when the bunnies start appearing and the garden bursts into life.

Squirrel 

I hate summer!  It's too hot and sweaty, I get burned outside, it's too hot to sleep, nobody opens enough windows, and it's full of bugs.  There, I've said it.  I. Hate. Summer.

So I made a Spring card, because everything is still fresh, new, and delicate, and there are no wasps.

Wilma

Summer for me. I like the sun and outdoor activities. Dinner in the garden and sit outside with a glass of wine until late in the evening. Very enjoyable.

So now 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.
