As You Like It Challenge #61 - Favourite Layout and WHY

Hi Crafters,

I hope you are well and having a good week.
Today marks the start of a new challenge at As You Like It and the theme is 'Your Favourite Layout and Why' - don't forget to tell us why it's your favourite to qualify for the prize.


Here is my card and as I have been in to using dies recently and my favourite cards always have lots of layers on them this is my layout.
 
Recipe
Pearlescent Shimmer Cardstock
Spellbinders Matting Basics A & B Dies
Tonic Studios Deco Oval Trellis Die
Sue Wilson Lisbon Die
Die'sire Edge'ables Die - On Your Special Day 
La La Land Filigree Border Die
'Mum' Word Stamp
Embossing Powder
Gems
 
 
Challenges I'd like to enter:
Fussy & Fancy - #146 Birthdays
Crafty Card Makers & More - #146 NO Patterned Papers
 
Our Sponsor this time is....
 
Sweet 'n Sassy Stamps

....so if you would like to join in with us, please make a project showing us your favourite layout and tell us why it is your favourite.

Who can believe that it is Friday again tomorrow? I know I can't. We have a Bank Holiday weekend to enjoy too, although the weatherman is decidedly glooming in his forecast of it.
I have my Farmers Market tomorrow so will be late in getting round to you all but take care and see you soon.

Lorraine in answer to your question how old is old....the way I look at it is anything you have already posted as opposed to a new project.
