PBSC April - Showers...More Inspiration!

Happy Saturday everyone! 

We're back with some more inspiration for our current challenge, and the announcement of our chosen guest designer and DT favourites from last month's challenge!

Firstly, here are the DTs favourite projects from March's 'Easter' challenge:


Greta's Favourite: #12 Janine B


Greta says:  Love the darling image beautifully colored!  The scalloped circle on the fancy circle card looks great!



Helen's Favourite: #15 Maura

Helen Says: I love the bright sun shine-y colours in that beautiful inky background.

Lorraine's & Sylvie's Favourite: #14 Jose


Lorraine says: I love the design of this card, the bright sunny, spring colours and those very cute little bunnies. 
Sylvie says: This is a stunning card... A lot of work has gone into it... The stamps are so cute...it's a worthy winner.

Sue says:
I love these little chicks all nestled into that wonderfully colored spikey grass!

Congratulations ladies - please grab our 'PBSC Favourite' badge for your blog!


And...the guest designer chosen from the 'GDT' entries on last month's challenge is:

#19 - Lesley

Ok, so now for some more inspiration for our current challenge, where the theme is:

'Showers'
