Sail the High Seas

Good evening all my lovely followers, bloggers and visitors and a special welcome to my new followers Fairy Jo, Alter This and Erin Bentley.

 

Tonight I have a card for my father in law, his birthday is not until May but thought I would get ahead with my family cards, which makes a change for me as they are usually done at the last minute.

Where the Unicorns Roam...

Good evening to all my followers and friends I hope you have not had the rain that we have had all day and you are all keeping well, sending hugs if you are under the weather.

 

I have been very busy over the last couple of weeks making my samples for the brand new cd from Sue Andrews of Jem`s Designs called......

Where the Unicorns Roam Vol 2

Sue is on Create and Craft tomorrow 24th at 2pm,

I hope you will be able to watch, if not set that record button. The images are amazing and as you will see from my cards I have not gone over the top with embellishments as I did not want them to take the eye away from the images themselves.

So without further ado.......

 

This is from the folder Creator of Stars

Jem`s Designs..........

Hi and welcome to all my crafty friends and visitors.

I just do not know where the time has gone, it only seems like 5 minutes ago that I last blogged, how wrong am I lol. You may have wondered ( or I hope you had  lol) where I had disappeared to.

Well I was asked by the lovely Sheenagh Hulin a few weeks ago if I would be on the design team for the new cd`s from Sheenagh Dawn Chorus and Love Hearts( Signature Graphics)and of course Susan Andrews Fantasy Romance(Jem`s Designs) which were on Create & Craft today, Sorry a bit late for my posting.

The images on all the cd`s are truly amazing and were wonderful to work with, I took most of mine into MCS so I could play with the sizes and shapes, of course you can also take them into Serif or any other graphics programmes.

There are quite a few so I hope you are sitting comfortably.... here we go.

 

DAWN CHORUS.....
 PROMISE OF SPRING

White on White..........

I cannot believe it is Saturday evening already, I`ve had a busy week what with decorating the hallway and making my FIL`s birthday card.

 

I wanted to have ago at doing a white on white card and I needed inspiration soI just typed in white on white cards and of course it bought Pinterest up, so after browsing for a while and found some amazing cards, I took a giant leap and joined, still trying to get my head around it lol so I may be asking for help :) as I have tried to upload some of my cards from my blog and they don`t seem to come up to pin them for some reason....... any help would be appreciated.

Thank you to a few of my lovely followers on here and FB who have followed me on there too.

Right that`s enough waffling from me. First card is my white on white and the second one is my FIL`s birthday card, I hope you like them.

Yesterdays Dreams....

I just cannot believe it`s friday already and I have made 3 cards this week with another laying on my desk waiting for me to plan and make, I think my mojo has gone into overdrive.

The image for this card was sent to me by the lovely and very talented Sheenagh Hulin.

 

When I first saw the image, I had no idea what to do with it, so I had to bite the bullet and see what I could do. It has taken me nearly 2 days to come up with this as I kept changing my mind. At first I was not happy but the girls from Jem`s Designs facebook page have given me such lovely comments, I had to put it on my blog. Hope you like it. The image is from Jem`s Designs Yesterday Dreams.

 

 

The background paper came from MCS

Spellbinders Adorning Squares, Decorative Labels One, Frame One.

Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish.

I printed the centre image twice so I could decoupage and glossy accent the centre picture, the ribbon was white so coloured with promarkers and flowers from stash.

Thank you for popping by.
