End of month inspiration

Hello! Hope you are enjoying the last Friday in August! Can't believe it's nearly September!

For the end of month inspiration, Angela and Eithne have two beautiful cards inspired by the photo inspiration.

It is my (Eithne's) garden, which is the wild side of the garden! I discovered a bees nest under the flower bed in against the wall, so it was abandoned this summer! Despite the lack of attention, the beautiful green ferns against the purple wall always lifts the garden, even on the wet day, of which this summer we have a lot! You can interpret the picture any way you like - a garden, the colours, the flowers, the wildness etc etc. but you will be disqualified if you look for the weeds! (only kidding ;) )

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 -
