This week at As You Like It Challenge we want to know if you prefer crafting feminine or masculine themed projects. For me, I find masculine cards challenging (I like adding flowers and pretty papers too much!) so for me it's an easy choice of feminine. I've teamed this cute watercoloured teddy bear with pretty springtime papers for a craft loving friend. I love these papers, and I've matched the colour scheme throughout the embellishments.

At As You Like It Challenge this week want to know if you prefer stamped or digi images. I have far more digi images than I do rubber stamps, and I certainly appreciate the convenience of them when it comes to storage, ease of browsing my collection and instant purchasing! But there is still something more satisfying about getting truely inky and stamping your own image. I've had problems in the past with printer ink bleeding when I'm watercolouring digi images, and times when my printer's not been playing ball, whereas my physical ink pads seem to last forever although sometimes you don't get a full image (I have better luck if I use my stamp platform). And finally, the brands that gave me the papercrafting bug were physical stamps (some on wooden blocks!) so it's often nice to dig out those stamps again. Therefore, I've selected a rubber stamp from my collection for today's card. However, I expect my laziness will kick back in and I'll revert back to digis again next week!
