June- In The Garden

Welcome to another By The Cute and Girly Challenge! Thanks to everyone who joined in with last month challenge. Remember to check back to see if you have won a prize or have been chosen as a guest designer for July.

Hi everyone.  Geraldine here and this month I've chosen "In the Garden" as the theme for the June Challenge.   This month your creations can be inspired by all things green and flowery plus all the butterflies, bugs and insects that combine to make a garden.  Of course, to some of you a garden might be a place to relax and sip a long cool drink while planning the weekend barbeque....and that's allowed!
Have a look at the DT's beautiful gardening makes to get some ideas.  More details of their  creations will pop up on the DT blogs during the month.  Good Luck!

As always we have some fab sponsors with great prizes this month and we are also looking for 2 or 3 guest designers for our August challenge.

If you would like to be in the draw for a guest designer spot, please add the letters GDT after your name when you leave your link to your entry with Mr Linky.

Prize 1- $20 Gift Certificate from Simon Say's Stamp

Prize 2- £10 Gift Certificate from Joanna Sheen

Prize 3- 3 digital images from Spesch Designer Stamps
