But before I move onto this fortnight's challenge I have to sneak one more special mention in here, because I was so completely humbled that her chosen designer was lil' old me!!

Thank you Helen for making my day :0)






So, onto our 15th challenge






The sponsor of this challenge is 
Sweet Stamps







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

your Favourite Spots or Stripes & 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 usually not a big fan of stripes, so for me it had to be spots.  I also prefer smaller spotty patterns to huge polka dots, so these spotty papers are perfect for my project.  I've used a grey paper with white spots on my base card, and white paper with grey spots for the large insert panel.


Spots or Stripes? Choosing was easy for me
I LOVE polka dots so it has to be spots for me
I Love the way they look and love that they can be all different sizes
and also be uniform or random too...
I can't really explain why I love them so but i do,
but I do not feel the same way about stripes...


Carol


Just love dotty papers. A simple design that always looks great on any card.






Mojca
Well I love spots! They make the card pop out
and that is why I love using them on my cards.




Sarah


Spots or stripes? I couldn't decide so I cheated

and did eeny meeny miney mo!! 




Suzette

Our poor Suzette is poorly at the moment so please send your best 'get well' wishes to her to aid a speedy recovery.  
She'll be back in a few weeks' time, but just needs a bit of time to recover.
Take care of yourself hun.

So now it's over to you.

We hope you will join in our challenge, show us your style and 
showcase your Favourite Spots or Stripes.

Good luck, and happy crafting.

Hugs from the AYLI girls.
