Annette

I prefer cute for any time of the year!  Christmas is a time for snuggling up with friends and family so this image of heffalump with his little pingu pal is right up my street!

Brenda

Cute is my thing!  I love all the cute little animals/penguins/snow people that allow me to say Merry Christmas in such a fun way.

Elaine

I don't have a favourite. I love making all Christmas cards. I like to make my special cards to suit the recipients. I am showing a very traditional Christmas card using traditional colours and poinsettias.

Larissa

I really love making cute cards for almost every occasion, so most of the times my Christmas cards are cute. I can't help it but I really love all those sweet and adorable images with cute animals or snowman and want to send those away. 

Lynne

Christmas cards are my favourite makes and, for this challenge, I have chosen traditional as I have far too many cute cards and am in desperate need of a few more traditional type to send to older relatives/friends who wouldn't really appreciate cute.

Sarah

I love cute...can't help it!! Bunnies, dogs, cats...anything fluffy really!!

Squirrel 

I am a sucker for cute!  Loving all the sweet images out there, especially winter animals, penguins, Santas, snowmen, love them all.

Wilma
I like to make both cute or traditional Christmas cards, but when you ask me what is your favourite I choose traditional cards. Not to much fuss with embellishments, traditional images, wintry colours, red and green.

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.

Crafts U Love

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

Your Favourite Bird or Beast (& why)

Just a reminder that to be chosen as our winner or Top 3 
you MUST explain WHY it is your favourite

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

First up, our fabulous Guest Designer for July and her beautiful card:

Marieke

Birds, because the summer and the warm weather remind me 
of pretty birds with pretty colours.

Anne

I love both birds and beasts but my favourite at the moment have to be the adorable new mice (ssshhh, I don't want them to hear me calling them beasties) by Tracy Easson. The stamps all come with a story, I love mice anyway but she just brings them to life

Annette

I'm a bit nervous around things that fly or flutter, so for me it's definitely the cute and furries which win this contest, in particular bunnies!  

Brenda

I am a fan of both birds and beasts, but dogs are just my favourite, I hope you can consider them a beast.  There's nothing like that little tail wagging to greet you when you get home, they always bring a smile to my face!

Elaine

I love both birds and beasts, but I don't have a lot of bird images. So I have made a card with a fine specimen of a beast. He is great for male cards and Christmas.

Jayne

**coming soon**

Larissa

I like both birds and beasts, but most of the times I use my favourite beast on my cards: the mouse, so I had to use one on this card. I just love their cute faces.

Lisa
**coming soon**

Lynne

I like both, but I have a bigger variety of cute beasts than birds and I do like cute.

Sarah

Normally I would choose beast but in the sake of fairness I have coloured up some cute birds this time to try and conquer my fear!!

Squirrel 

OK, so, I like watching the garden birds, and I am very fond of British species like sparrows, blackbirds (their song fills me with joy), robins, and starlings, BUT, if I have to choose between them for making a card then the beast in me wins every time!

Wilma

I have no favourite for this challenge. I both like birds and beasts. So I chose my favourite beast: Henry the mouse. Such a versatile stamp. 

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.

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

Anne
I'm a huge animal lover so it's impossible to choose a favourite.

Sweet woodland furries are high on my list and this sweet image from LOTV features 3 of the cutest!

Annette

My favourite animals are cats, in particular tigers. I've loved them since I was very young and recall researching them for a project at primary school.  They're so beautiful and graceful. The Siberian tiger is my favourite but there only a few hundred left so they're very endangered.

Brenda

I would have to say that dogs are my favorite, but there are many close seconds.  I just love the way a pup loves you and and makes you feel so loved.  They are sooooo cute too!

Elaine

I love hedgehogs, they are so cute. There are so many images suitable for all occasions. 

Jayne
**coming soon**

Larissa

I really love mice (on stamps and cards :) ). My mother used to call me mouse when I was little and that was the starting point for my mouse collection. For years I have been collecting plushies, books, cards and all other mouse stuff I could find. Nowadays I don't collect the mouse stuff any longer, but I still love using mouse images on my cards. I just think they are cute with their big ears and sweet faces.

Lisa
**coming soon**

Lynne

Dogs are my favourite.  They are so loving, great characters and always want to be by your side whatever you're doing.

Sarah

A tough decision for me to make here but I have gone with dogs.

I love their companionship, loyalty and the way our two make us laugh every day with their antics.

Squirrel 

Surrrrrrrrrrrrpriiise!  Go on, you'll never guess what my favourite animal is (after cats of course).  Yes, it's a llama.

Wilma

Cats are my favorite animals. I love to play and cuddle with them. They are so cute and make me smile.

So now it's over to you.

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