Summer Heat!

Hello, it's Sue here and I'm back for the second week of the current challenge here at Frilly and Funkie - 'Summer Heat!'

July brings with it the heat of the Summer, so for this challenge we want to see those warm colours in your project. Think red, orange, sunshine yellow and as an added twist you need to include a summer bloom somewhere on your project. Have fun!

Remember, to enter you must create a new, vintage style project following the challenge theme, link it below and make sure you add a link in your post back to this challenge. You can combine our challenge with up to 10 challenges (including this one) to qualify. You could be chosen as our winner and be the next Guest Designer here at Frilly and Funkie. There is also the chance to win a $25 shopping spree at The Funkie Junkie Boutique for one lucky entrant chosen at random. So what are you waiting for?

This week we are delighted to welcome Brenda Brown as our Special Guest Designer working alongside the Funkie Team. When she's not busy creating for several Design Teams (including her own, A Vintage Journey) Brenda can be found running a range of mixed media workshops around the UK which are always very popular. A trip to her blog Bumblebees and Butterflies is highly recommended so you can see much more from this very talented artist.

Check out the projects below from Brenda and the Funkie side of the team to get you going this week. Click on the links to their blogs to see even more of each project too;
