For the next 6 months, we have 2 Guest Design Team members :) Please welcome Manuela and Suchi.

Manuela 

My name is Manuela, I am 29 years old and I am from Austria. I am stamping since a few years now and it's a wonderful hobby beside my job as a teacher. I love different styles, at the moment I am a fan of the Clean & Simple style. I am a paperhoarder, I love each single sheet ;) Silhouette and Cuttlebug are good friends of mine, Sequins are my actual love. If there's enough time left I really like to do minialbums and scrapbooking layouts. They are a gorgeous way to keep memories!

I am blogging at http://butterkipferl.blogspot.com and I am so happy to be your guestdesigner :D

Here is Manuela's beautiful card for July's Challenge -

Suchi  

Hi Sweet Crafters! I am Suchi and I have been married to a wonderful guy since past 2yrs. I am working as a software tester by day and a crafter by night! I have been painting and crafting most of my life but I am relatively new to the blogging world. I love versatility - playing with papers, stamps, stencils, mixed media , canvases, scrapbooking; can't get enough of them! :) Blogging has made me connect with the world and I made a lot of friends out there. I have never looked back since then. Thanks Eithne and Michelle for giving me this wonderful chance! I am looking forward to work with all the talented DT members! My blog over suchizcardstock awaits your dear presence! :)

Here is Suchi's beautiful card for the challenge -
