By the Cute & Girly challenge – Guest DT projects

I am so excited to share with you my guest designer projects for the September By the cute and girly challenge. This month’s theme is “Indian summer” and I have to say I was a little perplexed as to what to make. One of the sponsors this month is whimsy stamps and they offered some images for the DT to use on their projects. I used one of their images called “Emma swinging” on my card. I also decided to make a sweet little gift box after seeing the fantastic tutorial on the Whiff of Joy tutorial blog. Here are my projects:

There are some great prizes to be won for this month’s challenge including:

prize1 - Joanna Sheen £10 voucher

prize2 - Simon Says Stamp $20 voucher

prize3 = Whimsy Stamps $15 voucher

prize4 - Little Snippets $15 gift voucher

And finally they will also choose 2 guest designers at random to join them for their November challenge.

Please pop over and check out the DT cards and projects as they are all gorgeous. I hope you will be inspired to join in with this month’s challenge. I can’t wait to see what your create.
