Guest Designer - Ruth Cunliffe

Our guest designer this month was last month's challenge winner, Ruth Cunliffe

Ruth won the New Beginnings challenge and so we asked her to guest design this month with us :)

& she has created these gorgeous card sets, one in pink and one in green and I love them :)

Ruth said "I got a little carried away and have made 6 cards!!  I used the Leaves and Things download and added cut out flowers which were printed 4 to a sheet of A4 so they were small enough.  Bit of glitter, some ribbon and pins and they are done!!  Hope you like them!

See more from Ruth here

And thank you so much Ruth for joining us in the challenge, and most of our challenges !

Love Mandy x

Guest Designer - Marie

We have two cards today made by one of our winners last month Marie!

Marie made this beautiful card for the challenge last month remember the gorgeous folding ...

We asked Marie to guest design for us this month and she made not one, but two cards !

Marie says her new beginning is "to make more masculine cards. I have baskets of completed feminine cards but when I need a card for a man I have to make one. I hope to have a full 'man's basket' by the end of this year! Then I just have to keep it full"

We love Marie's sail boat and birthday card and here they are ...

Marie uses the Menswear Collection in both cards

Beautfiul work again Marie and yet more clever folding!

Thank you for your hard work :)

That's all for now, Love Mandy

Guest Designer - Calypso

Hi everyone

So the new challenge is up and I hope you enjoy making something for that one!

Our Guest Designer this month is Calypso who won the challenge Sweet Christmas last month.

Her card is very cute,  a piggy trying to trim his tree!

Calypso said this ... "For the last 3 years my son has been in charge of filling the Christmas tree with all the bows and trimmings; however, this year he will not be alone, he will be joined by his little 2 year old brother"

Here is her card and all of us on the team would like to thank her for her submission...

Your card made me chuckle, I love how you can see the rest of the paper where he cut out his star, wonderful!!!

I think it's such a great idea because not only do we get to see their amazing creations in the challenge but then extra wonderfullness the next month as a Guest Designer!  So that can only mean one thing ... MORE FAB INSPIRATION!
