Lovely card Fab- elegant is definitely the right word :clapping:

Just finished LJ's a few minutes ago - but I'm afraid it may not make it into the post till Monday now :o

Gorgeous card, Fab :)

[fabyon]

Glad you like it Phree. That scalloped edge wasn't a die-cut.....noooo sirreee LOL I had to cut that by hand !!!! With a scalloped scissor. I was thinking while I was cutting it ..I need nestabilities, yes I need some ! RFLOL

[Rainbowwand]

Lovely card Fab, elegant sums it up nicely

[LoobyLou]

Good lord Fab, that is what you call patience. I would so have cocked that up.

I quite forgot the June card. I will try and get on with it over the weekend, my state of mind following today's gerfuffle allowing.

Looby

[Jeanette]

[Little Jan]

Received this lovely card this morning, It captures the theme from the sea beautifully:nod: the pictures is decoupaged and there are some lovely charms and some clever ripping and tearing Well done Welly Sorry my lack of camera skills has not done it justice

Stunning cards everyone.

Bonnie looks like she is recuperating well.

[LoobyLou]

I felt a bit cheeky putting Bonnie on a card, but when I read the theme with everything that was going on with her it just yelled out at me how precious we think (DD and me) she is.

She is well recovered now thanks, barking at all the passers by and stealing anything that isn't nailed down (food wise that is).

Love your ocean card Welly. I love relaxing and listening to the waves, that picture made me hear the sea, if that doesn't sound too daft. Those charms are utterly charming too.

Looby

[Wellington]

Great card Looby :up: There's nothing cheeky about putting Bonnie on it - she's precious to you & your's. My obvious choice would be my kids, but tis a bit nawty to put pics of your own kids on someone else's card :cheeky:

[satincollie]

Well to be honest that was my first thought aswell when I read the theme Precious meant my dogs so you couldn't really have made a better choice for me.:wink:

Aww bless, so good to hear that she is recovering well, great card

[Rainbowwand]

Great card welly, i know what Looby means about hearing the sea when looking at your card, well done

[Phree]

Beautiful cards Looby and Welly but......Oh dear Looby you musta been inside my head! - my card idea which, I now plan to change was going to be Shep - after finding that stamp that looks kinda like him it seemed so obvious to use it aldong with a photo of him for the swap - he was and still is the treasure of my heart so he certainly would fit the theme precious.

[Winspiration]

Beautiful cards, Looby and Welly :)

[LoobyLou]

We appear to all be a bunch of pet loving softies, who think along very similar lines.

I must admit she looks good for an old girl of nearly 15, and she can definitely outrun me, but then a toddler could outrun me.

Looby

[fabyon]

Lovely cards ! I miss our family dog Benji ! He was such a grumpy individual but very cute !

[Marzipan]

Lovely card Macey, the scales on the mermaid are particularly effective.

Looby only got my card today and then royal mail managed to crush it:sad:

[Little Jan]

here is the card I sent to looby she said that the card was so bashed that she did not want to psot a pic, so here is the card before royal mail got its hands on it, although it might not be any better lol

[macey]

that is a beautifull card shame royal mail bashed it about

[fabyon]

Lovely cards, royalmail drives my mad ! Nothing worse than getting something damaged by the 'mangling' machines or when the postie insist of folding everything and pushing it through the letterbox.

[satincollie]

ooops you'll have my card in the morning Rainbowwand :blush:
Gill

[fabyon]

What's this envelope thing going on ! Is there an anecdote for it ? LOL

awwww what a pretty seaside image - lovely delicate colouring RW.

Glad to hear you got your envelope too Macey - and I see it's been specially stamped to theme with the card! Obviously the envelope shortage in the N.West of England must be over.

[Anne]

here is the card I sent to looby she said that the card was so bashed that she did not want to psot a pic, so here is the card before royal mail got its hands on it, although it might not be any better lol

I love this card, Jan. Such a beautiful image on the front.

Must admit if I made a card this special I would send it in bubble wrap in a really sturdy envelope. Such a shame your lovely card was damaged. :(

Beautiful card LJ, I love the idea of the oyster shaped card with the pearl inside! Is the mermaid one of the Fairy Poppets images? She is lovely. Such a shame RM managed to mangle your card - booooo to RM.

[Rainbowwand]

Fantastic idea LJ, pity that RM had to go and ruin it :sad:

[Rainbowwand]

Ohhhh what a pretty stamp.

Looby

if we each had our own its really Marzipan's stamp, but we share and share alike, well thats apart from those of mine that Marzipan say's "yuk i dont like that!! lol

[Wellington]

Beautirul cards RW & LJ :)


Is the mermaid one of the Fairy Poppets images? She is lovely. .

I'm thinking that's one of those Dreamtide faeries - same people, just wetter :D

[LoobyLou]

LJ many thanks for your beautiful card. I could see what a lot of work had gone into it, but sadly the box that you lovingly posted in it looked like a postie had tramped all over it. The rhyme inside was just adorable and I thought I was reading something famous until I got to the last couple of lines and figured you must have composed it yourself.

Thanks for posting a decent pic of it and I was pleased to receive it, dents and all.

Thanks also for the two gorgeous long beads that were enclosed I am not sure what to do with them yet, might make something for myself incorporating them.

Looby

[fabyon]

Received this very pretty card from Marzipan today !

Love the mermaid and the lovely stamped shells really coordinate well

Thank you I put it on display next to my computer so I can look at it throughout the day.

[LoobyLou]

Gorgeous cards girls.

All these lovely sea scenes are making me hanker after a long paddle in the sea. I guess I shall settle for a nearly cold shower instead.

Looby

[Phree]

More beautiful cards! Well done Marzi and Satincollie.

I am going to have to appologies cuz I am so late with mine - meant to get it done this week but I hurt my arm at work on Monday night and it's only today that my shoulder is pain free again so I hope I can get something made tonight when it gets a little cooler - right now the sun is blasting in my craft room window and shining right on my craft table!

[luvtocraft]

Once again lovely cards from all of you. :clapping::clapping:

[Wellington]

More beautiful cards Marzi & Satincollie :clapping: I used those Dolphins on my mum's birthday card last year...
