AYLI

As You Like It Challenge

Welcome to a new AYLI challenge. Today Larissa is hosting our challenge.



ANNIVERSARY BLOG HOP

Before we move onto our next challenge

this challenge marks our
6 year anniversary
and to celebrate we've decided to have a blog hop,
where one lucky 'hopper' will win an extra surprise.

So in addition to playing along this week,
we would like you to pop and visit all our Design Team,
leave a little comment on their blogs,
then leave a comment back on this blog,
and you will be eligible for a prize.



In addition to the blog hop, we have our usual challenge sponsor.
This week, the prize is an A5 stamp set from

Lili of the Valley


This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
Your Favourite Non-card project.
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

Don't forget to visit each of our teamies 
to qualify for the separate blog hop prize.

Here is my project 

I like to try all things crafty. I made these mementos from our holiday in Italy. It is lovely to have them as a reminder of the fabulous trip to these historic ruins.



I have used embossing folder, Memory Box Cityscape Silhouette die (a little altered to look like ruins), X-Cut letters and Tim Holtz Distressing ink, Spellbinders curves and Marianne circles.
