May- Anything Goes!

Welcome to another By The Cute and Girly challenge! It's Lora here and it's my turn to set the challenge again this month.

The entries for my Cute and Girly challenge last month were fab as usual and I will announce the winners in a bit, along with our guest designers for June!

This months challenge is a little different to our normal challege because we have no theme this month for you to follow, this time Anything Goes!

The rules this month are also slightly different, so please read this before entering the challenge
.
As this month is anything goes and we may have a lot more entries than usual (and we normaly have a lot anyway), you can only enter the challenge ONCE this month.
Next month will be back to normal and you can enter as many times as you like with a different craft each time, but for this month only, we ask that you please only enter once.

Now this month we have some fab sponsors again

Prize 1- $20 gift certificate from Simon Says Stamp




Prize 2- £10 Gift Certificate from Joanna Sheen





And we are also looking for 2 or 3 guest designers for July! If you would like the chance to be a guest designer for By The Cute and Girly for the month of July, please add GDT after your name when you leave the link to your entry with Mr Linky and 2 or 3 people will be drawn at random.


As a guest designer, you must be able to make at least 2 creations for the month you are guest designer following the challenge theme. 
You will have the whole previuos month to make your creations, and if we have any digital images from one of our digi sponsors that month, we would appreciate it if you could use one of those images on one (or more) of your creations, although I know this may not always be possible since our challenge is for all crafts and sometimes it's not possible to use a digital image.


This month we have the lovely Carly-Ann joining us as guest designer. Carly is a good blogging friend of mine and her work is fab! She has made 2 cards for your inspiration this month.
Thanks for joining us hunnie, you cards are both gorgeous! :) xx







And here's some inspiration from the rest of the design team.





























I would love pretty storage containers like these!!:)


 

 Aren't they all fab!!
Reminder of the rules:

You can enter with any crafty item, cards. layouts, altered items, jewelry, knitted item, crotchet, x stitch,  a flower arrangement, or even a baked creation or home decor project you have done....absolutely any craft you like.
Your entry must be a new never blogged before creation. Please no backlinking.
You can combine your creation with any other challenges.
|You must leave a direct link to your creation with Mr Linky. Not just a link to your blog. (if you need help doing this, you can email me (Lora) at lorascards@aol.com and I will help.
You may enter if you don't have a blog. You can upload to an online gallery using the keyword BTCGMAY, or for people who don't have a blog only, you can email me with a pic of your creation and I will add your creation to the challenge blog for others to see and enter you into the draw.

Please remember you may only enter the challenge once this month
