I rarely use bright colours because I prefer softer, romantic tones that pastels give.

Samantha

I love love love brights and would choose them every time over pastels
I wear brights and I make brights I love the bright colours in nature too!

Brenda
I love pastels when I am trying to create a soft feel for my creation, but when I look around my blog, I use mostly brights.

Carol
Love pastels, especially when it comes to flowery cards I think pastels make pretty feminine cards.

Elaine

I love all colour but for babies I do prefer pastel colours best. They are so delicate and happy.

Kat

I love the soft romantic look that pastels give and am always reaching for my huge stash of pretty pastel papers!

Lori

I love bright, bold colors - especially against black so that they "pop" :)
 

Lorraine

I love bright, bold colours especially the colour red but I also love the pastel shades that are used in so many beautiful cards that my blogging friends make but I find these muted shades very difficult to work with for some reason and so, I have decided to set myself a challenge to create a pastel coloured card... or two

Annette

I'm definitely a 'colour' fan, and even on a "grey day" I love to add some colour!  So my rainy day image features two of my favourite colours, aqua-blue and purple.

Samantha

Oh for me it's definitely all about the colours
Why? well I think life would not be the same in one colour
Simple as that!

Brenda

I like monochrome, but I LOVE color!  Bright colors make me smile.

Carol

I love the challenge of monochrome especially when using colours, it's the balance of getting the shades of one colour to look just right. This is my favourite monochrome colour, just like my craft room, makes me feel right at home! 

Elaine

Monochrome can have a very striking effect, but I do prefer colour. I love the vibrancy that colour can bring to a card. 

Kat

Almost all my cards are in colour; there are so many beautiful colours and it's nice to choose colours to suit the mood and style of the image.

Lori

As you can probably guess, my favorite is COLOR...in fact, I believe I am addicted to color! :P I am an avid crocheter as well as a card maker and when I start an afghan, I am so excited to see it once ALL the colors are incorporated! SO FUN!

Lorraine

Colour is definitely my choice every time. I love bright and vibrant colours they make me happy.

Mojca
Definitely colour for me. Otherwise I wear only black and sometimes read coloured clothes, so I have to confess that crafts is my colour escape :P

Suzette
My Favourite colour is rose pink 

Mojca

Sarah

Colour for me!! After all the world would be a miserable place without it and from a crafty perspective there are so many gorgeous papers that need images coloured to match!!

Wilma
No question about it: Colour.  
Colours make me happy.

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and

My Mum's Craft Shop

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Sweet or Savoury (& 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

There's no question as to what my favourite is.  To be honest it's primarily chocolate (untainted by fruit, nuts or other "unnecessaries") but then I'm rather partial to cake too (chocolate, coffee, lemon drizzle, even carrot cake, but again I'll pass on the fruit cake!).

Samantha

Normally I would say savoury but I have a sweet tooth too!
so it's difficult to choose
But I have made this Cake Topper set for my Step Son and now Daughter in Law

Brenda
I love sweet!  It's been so hot lately, ice cream has been a frequent treat!

Carol

Sweet is my favourite, especially home made cake, can't resist, think they are my comfort food lol and if there is any in the house, Im rather partial to having it for breakfast!

Elaine

My favourite has to be sweet, what is a birthday without a cake!  mmm delicious.

Kat

I'm sweet all the way..ha ha!  I do have a very sweet tooth so I chose this image with a yummy looking cake, but I'm not fussy...cake, chocolate, ice cream...it's all my favourite!

Lori

 I like both savory and sweet, but given the choice overall, I'd take sweet! Nothing hits the spot better than an ooey-gooey cinnamon bun or a delish chocolate cupcake!!

Lorraine

I prefer sweet than savoury, my favourite is milk chocolate, yum, yum. 

Mojca

Well what do you think, what's my favourite? SWEET of course...shame on you for doubting :P !!! I am an enthusiastic baker, I just love all kind of sweets and lately I'm especially nuts for any healthy dessert recipes. Baking is such a fun job, you have to get everything ready and when it's done you have to decorate ... ahhh, should I say more? Don't think so, right :P And also did I mention that I love taking pictures of my desserts? Well you are very welcome to my FB page Soul Santuaty Photography... there are quite a few recipes on there, unfortunately for my foreign friends they are in Slovenian, but there is always mister google translate to whom you can turn :P

 

Sarah

Sweet for me...at the moment!! Particularly anything containing salted caramel...yum!!

Suzette

**coming soon**


Wilma
Savory that is what I like te most.  I am very fond of sausages and meatballs :) and we love to bbq in the summer. 

So now it's over to you.
We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite Sweet or Savoury (& why).

You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Good luck, and happy crafting.
