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:



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.







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







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







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.






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.



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







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.
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:



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.






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.





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





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.






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.



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!!







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.
Hugs from the AYLI girls.

No sponsor this week - just for fun!



Our last challenge of the year is open for: 
Anything Christmassy


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



I love wintry scenes for Christmas!





I love putting all the sparkle and shine of Christmas on my cards.  It gives such a festive feeling.  (But sometimes they are hard to photograph).


I love anything Christmassy..






Lovely traditional colours







This year I have been working on a big project: 24 days of Christmas tags, so my project for today is a Christmas tag. Love making and using them and I am really in love with the one I made for today. Really like the pink instead of traditional red, which I also love a lot!





Love this digi image, so easy to colour.




I am sharing an inviting festive front door.







A simple and colourful Christmas card. I love the Doodle bug papers.





It's over to you.

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


Good luck, and happy crafting.
