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

Your Favourite Autumn or Halloween Colours (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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

 

Anne
I really do love all the Autumn colours but I've gone for Halloween because it gives me a good excuse to add black to my cards.  I think black used with yellow, orange or purple is really striking

Annette

I love purple for Halloween and although I am not usually a fan of orange, I love how it gives a warm pop to the purple for my Halloween themed flag decoration. 

Brenda

I miss the ever changing colours of the trees in fall.  I love the warm colours of orange, yellow, red and even purple are the colours I so fondly remember of fall when I was growing up. 

Elaine

I love the rich warm colours for Halloween. It is like the last bit of warmth before the cold winter to follow.

Jayne
I love all things Halloween - black and purple, what's not to like?

Larissa

A Halloween is not a Halloween card if there isn't any black on it, so that is the first colour I always use! I love the dark effect it gives.Then I really love purple on a Halloween card, it goes perfect together with the black to give a spooky touch. A little bit of orange finishes the whole thing. I love the brightness from the colour together with the other dark colours.

Lisa
I'm not a summer person and am always happy to see the autumn colours (and cooler weather!) appearing - walks are so pretty at this time of year.

Lynne

I'm not a bright colours person, but do love the more muted shades autumn brings and even though my card is not autumnal, I thought they would make a great colour palette for a man.

Sarah

I love the colours that autumn brings with her. At the moment our walks are changing visually day by day which is fabulous.

Squirrel 

I don't make a lot of Halloween cards, but I do love the colours of purple, orange, green, and black together.

Wilma

My favourite autumn/Halloween colour is orange; the colour of pumpkins.

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 

Black & White + your favourite 1 other colour (& why it's your favourite).

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 Princess Snow

For someone who likes to match the colours of any embellishments (ribbons, pearls, papers, flowers etc) whenever I add them, I found this fortnight's challenge a little difficult.  Now, I'm not usually a 'yellow' person, but when tasked with the only other colours being black and white I wanted my image to really stand out, so I chose a golden yellow colour to give some brightness to my project.

Brenda

I love black and white along with many colors, so this is another hard one.  I went with a patina color (mainly because I really wanted to use this new embossing powder).  I love the way it works with the black and white!

Elaine

I have chosen B & W with red. I like the strong combination, it is always very striking. You don't need to use too much colour for a balanced card.

Larissa

I love black and white together with the colour that is called Larissa pink by Annette ...lol. I really love the bright pink together with black and white, because it really pops. This shade of pink is a real favourite, and it even looks better with black and white.

Lynne

I have chosen purple as my added colour.  It's my favourite colour anyway and I think it looks very striking with black.

Sarah using Preparing to Dance

 I put pink with black and white...it always looks classy!!

Squirrel 

What's black and white and red all over?
A zebra with sunburn

Wilma

My favorite colour is green. I love the combination with black and white. The green colour stands out. 

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 Pink or Blue (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

We also have a super talented guest designer, Kristina, joining us this fortnight.
Before we see her card (and you're in for a treat!) here's a little introduction from her:

My name is Kristina Pavlovic, Tina, and I live in Sweden with my amazing husband!  My Blog is Kristina's Art Corner.  I work in kindergarten and most of my inspiration comes from the kindergarten and from children's books. I am cardmaker. I love to create the scenes, I love masking and ink blending. I adore my alcohol markers and Zig. 
My Moto is :Create something every day!!! 

And here is Kristina's beautiful card and colour choice:

It was difficult to choose this time but I chose blue shades. I really love both colors but No.1 I have a better combination of Copic markers in blue shades, No.2 I wanted to create with MFT Rain or Shine stamps set so the choice fell to blue and No.3 I had the same blue raincoat and boots when I was Little girl. 

Thank you SO much Kristina for your fabulous card.Here are the beautiful creations made by the rest of our
Design Team to get your mojo flowing:

Annette

Using Duck with Presents
My favourite colours are pink, purple and blue but choosing between them is sometimes difficult (and may depend on my mood!).  I've always loved pink though, it's so soft and feminine so it had to be pink for me.

Brenda

I love the color blue.  It's always been my favorite.  I love that it's the color of the sky and the ocean and blue jeans (my favorite piece of clothing).  It can used easily for masculine or feminine cards.

Elaine

I love colour. So it is difficult to choose a particular favourite. It really depends on the theme of the card too. Christmas conjures up crisp blues so for this challenge that is what I have chosen.

Larissa

I love both of these colours, but on my cards I often use pink, so I had to make a pink card. I love how strong the colour looks in a bright way but also how soft it can look.

Lynne

I do use blue sometimes and the only reason I have chosen pink is because I make a lot more feminine cards than masculine and I can tell from my scraps folders as pink is the largest one.

Sarah
Using Snow Princess

It's pink for me, although nothing too wishy washy!! I'm just not a blue person, try as I might I can never achieve the look I am after, so it's pink all the way!!

Squirrel 

Another difficult choice, I do like pink, and I do like blue, but if I had to choose a colour to have around me all the time then it would have to be blue

Wilma
Pink is not my colour, so for this challenge it must be blue. Especially for masculine cards it's my favorite. 

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.
