Favourite Non-Card Project (and why)

Welcome to 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!

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

Your Favourite Non-Card Project (& 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 making large gift tags to decorate presents, and these supersized Crealies tag dies are my favourites.  They make a present look much more special and I really enjoy making them.

Brenda

I have always loved x-stitch and did a lot of it in my early crafting days, before children.  It requires a certain amount of concentration that takes me away from real life and some of the madness going on.

Elaine

I like to make small boxes when giving gifts. They make the present a little more interesting. 

Larissa

**coming soon**

Lynne

Over the past few months, in between cards, I've been decorating this little house shaped shelving unit.  I've had it for a few years and decided to use up some on my neglected embellishments on it.

Sarah

I am trying to use up paper pads so make lots of little folios for my Grandchildren or to pop inside journals.

Wilma

Since my retiring, I've more time to pick up old hobbies like knitting, crocheting, and bobbin lace. I'm still a bit rusty at it, but practice makes perfect. These are my first crochet projects.

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.

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

Your Favourite Style: Simple or Fussy (& 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 Cow digi image by Lili of the Valley

Although I often add a lot of fancy embellishments to my cards, I do actually enjoy making clean and simple cards which keep the focus on the image, especially if it's a cutie!  

Brenda

using Trio Bunnies Wishes by Lili of the Valley

I lean little more toward clean and simple cards because I really love the more graphic look and ease of posting.

Elaine

I don't think I am either simple or fuss , a little middle of the road. This card is probably as fussy as it gets. I always feel if I add too many embellishments my cards become a bit of a clutter.

Larissa

I am definitely a simple girl. I love letting and image shine on a card and often don't add a lot of embellishments. 

Lynne

Normally I am like Elaine, a bit middle of the road, but for "big" birthdays and for a special someone I like to make them fussier with extra embellishments.

Sarah

I am a simple soul but not CAS. I love patterned paper but don't tend to add frilly bits these days and prefer the simple style.

Wilma

Over the years, my type of cards has changed from fussy to simple. Back then, I made cards with many layers and frills, but that has now shifted to more simple. I must say that it is not always easy to make simple cards. And sometimes the paper or stamp is too beautiful to hide.

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 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:

Annette

using Teddy Bouquet Digi image from Lili of the Valley

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.
