Thanks to those who joined us in our sketch challenge, we were disappointed in the 
small number of entries compared with our record breaking number last week,  but we accept the weather in the UK has been more for gardening than crafting.
Julie has chosen her top 3 - in numerical order ....

Guest Designers for July

We are so pleased to welcome for the month of July

We have a welcome return of

 Lynne 

Hi, I'm Lynne and am so happy to be the Guest Designer,

 second timearound,  for this amazing blog!

You can find me at Her Craftiness (http:// slasewcraftiness.blogspot.com/).

I am the very proud grandma of 6 beautiful grandchildren, ages 9 and under.

 My home is found in Elizabeth, PA which is close to Pittsburgh

 (ever hear of the Pittsburg Steelers?) in the United States! I love to create and have been

creating forever, learning from my grandmother and aunt beginning with sewing,

 knitting and crocheting.  I started doll sculpting in 1991 after losing my 

youngest daughter and also fell in love with making quilts at that time, as I had made

 a quilt using pieces of her clothing for my first quilt.

 It's only been since the last seven years or more that I started paper crafting with

scrapbooking and making cards.  I love to be challenged along with making

personlized cards not only for my family but my friends. 

*******************

Please also welcome for the second time

Sharon

Hi Everyone – my name is Sharon and I live Down under in Australia. I’ve been crafting for at least half my life and am predominately a card maker but I do like to dabble in altered art and journaling. I love to think outside the square and use a bit of humour in my creations! I’m excited to be a guest Designer here at Cardz 4 Guyz and hope to give you all some inspiration for creating cards for guys – always the hardest to make!
