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

Your Favourite Autumn or Winter (& 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 Bear Decorating a Christmas Tree by Lee Holland

I love wintry images and the excuse to use a little glitter on the snowy scenes.  I have far more Christmas images than any other theme, so I think that supports my claim that Christmas is my favourite theme to craft for!

Brenda

Itʻs autumn for me.  I love the wonderful colors the leaves turn, the cool, crisp air and of course, football!

Chrissy

My favourite is Autumn, hands down, Autumn, the smell, the damp the colours, magical..

Elaine

I prefer winter. I love long crafting nights making Christmas cards.

Larissa

I have chosen autumn, although I also love winter when it is really cold and the skies are blue and the sun is shining. I love the pretty colours of the fall. Trees look amazing during the autumn months.

Lynne

Crafting wise I much prefer to make winter/Christmas cards. They are the type where you have a good reason to use glitter, even though it never shows up very well on photos!

Sarah

 I was born in February, so a winter baby, and actually LOVE cold and frosty mornings and dark nights in front of the fire or snuggled under the duvet when it's raining outside. Also, like Annette I have far more Christmas stamps and images than anything else!

Squirrel 

With the exception of wasps, I love everything about autumn, the soft light, the gorgeous colours, sunny days but (in theory) cooler nights.  I don't even mind it getting darker earlier because I can be cosied up indoors!

Wilma

Autumn for me. I really enjoy the changing colours of the leaves on the trees. 

I also like the smell outside. It gets dark earlier outside and I love to lit a candle inside while it's windy and raining outside. GEZELLIG!

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.

Lawn Fawn

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

Your Favourite Animal - Real or Fantasy (& 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've always adored donkeys and Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh, so it wasn't a difficult choice for me.  I had a soft toy donkey when I was a baby and nearly 50 years later I still have him.  Thankfully I live close enough to the Sidmouth Donkey Sanctuary that I can visit real donkeys fairly often too. It's a great day out if you are ever passing.  Today I'll have to make do with a 2D version in the form of my donkey themed card.

Brenda

Bears are a favorite of mine, not counting dogs or cats.  I love teddy bears because they are so soft and cuddly.  I know real bears are a different story, but you have to respect the tenacity of a mama bear protecting her cubs.

Chrissy

My beautiful Barry is my favourite animal, and my favourite fantasy friend.

Elaine

My favourite animal is the hedgehog. My family have always had a soft spot for those little creatures. They have adorable faces and a lovely snuffling noise. So cute.

Larissa

My favourite animal is a mouse. It was my nickname that my mother gave me when I was young. I think they look cute with their big ears. On this card I also used the favourite animal from my little nephew Niek. He loves crocodiles, so when I saw this image, I had to make a card with it.

Lynne

I like lots of animals, but seeing as we have two of them, I have to say dogs are tops. They're such good company and so loyal and loving.

Sarah

It's a real life horse or doggo for me. I am fortunate enough to have both in my life and so this occasion have dusted off an old horse stamp.

Squirrel 

(so sorry I'm late!)  I love animals full stop, so this was a hard choice but I have gone

down the fantasy route with this one and chosen dragons.  My favourite dragons are

cute and colourful, and because they are fantasy they can be any colour you like.

Wilma

I have a lot favorite animals but a cat is my number one. I love their attitude and the soft fur.  

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.

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

Your Favourite 2 Colour Combo (& 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 Stuffed With Love by Last Minute Manda

 I love pastels, and in particular purple, pink and blue, but as I had to pick only two, I opted for pink and blue for this cute baby bunny card because I love the contrast of the two together.

Brenda

using Gnome Friends in the Garden by Last Minute Manda

I found a couple of paper scraps with blue and yellow that I really loved for this cute gnome.  This combination, to me, gives such a happy feel.

Chrissy

using Gnome Friends in the Garden by Last Minute Manda

Blue and yellow is my favourite combo because you can elegant it

 or cute it..I went with cute it..

Elaine

using Gnome Friends in the Garden by Last Minute Manda

I have chosen pink and green. I love this fresh combination especially with flowers. 

Larissa

I love the combination of pink and green together. It is great for flowers. 

Lynne

using Gnome Friends in the Garden by Last Minute Manda

I love greens and yellows together. I think they are so fresh looking especially with spring flowers.

Sarah

using Gnome Friends in the Garden by Last Minute Manda

Mother Nature puts green and pink together beautifully, whether pastel or bold, so I often take inspiration from her. This cute gnome definitely cried out for bold!!

Squirrel 

I have a few favourite colour combos, but for some reason I always come back

to blue and brown.  It just works for me.

Wilma

That one is not difficult for me: turquoise/blue and lime green. Those are such happy colours for me. I do have a some objects in my house in that combination. You can see one on my blog.

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.
