Annette

My current favourites are paper projects, although I do like adding non-paper items (like ribbon and lace) onto my projects.  I love the variety of papers you can get and that you can paint your own designs on it too.  I've made a bag-in-a-box for this project, and added some lace around the edges. The handles are made from double sided cardstock, and I've added a little tag with a large flower brad.

Samantha

I love both Paper and No paper crafts but I am choosing Crochet because I can take it anywhere!

Brenda
Cheeky Monkey Kids
I think I have mentioned before that I love many types of crafting.  I love sewing, needle crafts, jewelry making and paper crafts.  I have to say paper crafting wins because I can complete a project much more quickly.  I love all the fun stamps and papers and embellishments that are available.

Elaine
Stanley Dog set

I have chosen a paper project. I love all crafts but at the moment my favouite is cardmaking. I love all the beautiful papers and the many images that are available. 

 

Kat
Party Zara
It has to be paper projects for me as I don't really do any non-paper crafts...not sure where I would find the time!  Plus I LOVE pretty papers!

Lori
Well, this challenge was a difficult one for me, I'll be honest....however...crochet was my very first craft "LOVE" 19+ years ago....so I am gonna have to say that if I had to decide between paper crafting for crochet - I'd pick crochet! :)



Lorraine
Bathtime Bobbi
Although I have tried lots of different crafts including flower pressing, knitting, crochet and painting I always return to Paper Crafting for my crafty fix, I just love creating with paper.

Mojca
Love you tons
Well I love paper projects, especially cards, you can make them so interesting, add a lot of embellishments or make them plain ... there is so many options and that's why I love making cards.

 

Sarah

Ballerina Isla

I try my hand at all sorts of crafts including knitting, crochet and sewing, however I LOVE paper crafting most of all, in particular patterned papers and stamping...you can do soooo much with paper!!

Squirrel

It wasn't a difficult choice for me, having tried many crafts over the years, some more successful than others, I have always come back to papercraft.  I love that you can create something so colourful and/or dimensional from a flat piece of paper!

Wilma
For me it wasn"t a difficult choice: paper! Although I also like to knit or crochet cards remains my favourite.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
your Favourite Traditional or non traditional colours for Christmas (& 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'm choosing non-traditional Christmas colours.  I particularly love pink Christmas cards (well on any cards to be honest) but this pink and blue is my favourite colour combo.

Samantha
I love traditional, I have to say I love door wreaths
But have avoided having them because I'm not keen on the
mega big all singing and dancing ones so this year, I have revamped one
that my father was going to throw out because it has seen better days..
this is the result after my revamp.

Brenda

I usually tend toward the traditional red and green for my Christmas cards.  I do however enjoy seeing and making cards in nontraditional colors.

Carol

Ive gone for non traditional Christmas colours as I seem to have a thing going on with Kraft card this year. Love Kraft card and love it teamed up with cream,  think its great for man cards which I seem to have quite a few to send too.

Elaine

I have made most of my cards this year in blue. Not traditional in colour or style. I love the crisp freshness of blue and white.

Kat

This year I am loving traditional colours as I found some really beautiful papers in reds/greens/creams and these colours give a lovely cosy feel to the cards

Lori

I really love all the bright, funky colors these days with all the non-traditional colors but my heart is drawn to the "reds and greens, golds and silvers" of Christmas!

Lorraine

Although I love the traditional red and green of Christmas I do like to make my cards in non traditional colours like pink and white or as in this case mint and silver.

Mojca

I chose traditional ... Rudolf with his lovely big glittery red nose and green scarf, what can be more traditional than that ;) I'm just an old fashion I guess :P

 

Sarah

I've gone for traditional...red and green holly and Christmas puddings (that conceal a chocolate treat) because it's not Christmas in the UK without either!!

Suzette
Well I always love to see Christmas teddy bear on greeting cards as they are cute in whatever colours they are coloured in...I am a lover of all colours traditional or non-traditional.

Wilma
