PBSC June - Birthdays & Blog Hop...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 May's 'Masculine' challenge:


Debby's Favourite: #26 - Kevin


Debby says: I love how Kevin's framed the image (need that die) and what a brilliant image (need that stamp too).

Greta's Favourite: #5 - Amy Marshall


Greta says: I love this cute little boy image that Amy colored beautifully.  The path, flowers & tree branch make the perfect scene! 

Helen's & Sylvie's Favourite: #14 - Tirpuunen


Helen Says: I'm a musician, and love this fabulous scene of this happy band of cats...I so need this stamp set in my life!
Sylvie says: Love this card...a lot of work has gone into it...fabulous musicians! 

Lorraine's Favourite: #2 - Mac Mable


Lorraine says: I love the stamp and the fabulous background. 

Natalie's Favourite: #21 - Sam/Whisper


Natalie says: A great shaped card with various layers, love the choice of colour too!

Sue's Favourite: #19 - Stempelqueen


 Sue says: I always love a wonderfully colored CAS card. I love the way the sentiment is hidden in this card...do you see it????
