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.






**coming soon**





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.

your Favourite: Gold, Silver or Glitter (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

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




I'm not a huge fan of using metallic card on my crafts, partly because it's so difficult to photograph, but I do love a sprinkling of glitter on my festive cards, particularly for snow.  My favourite is glamour dust, which is really fine glitter, and glossy accents to stick it on.  





I love having a touch of sparkle on my cards, so it is glitter cardstock or glitter glue for me.





Gold for me, I love gold matt cardstock and use it often
for any occasion..






I use silver a lot more than gold. I like the bright shine on my Christmas cards especially the sentiments.







I love glitter, I love the look of it and how pretty it shimmers. It is perfect to use as snow on a Christmas card.







I do love to add glitter to a Christmas card, it's just a perfect addition for snow, but doesn't show up very well in my photo.  I've added it to the snow, snowman's pom pom and the little snowball held by the squirrel.



We are galloping towards Christmas so I used all three, gold, silver and glitter!!







Gold this time. I also love silver but I like this Stampin'Up paper very much.
I am not that keen of glitter.




It's over to you.

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