Lorraine aka Coldwaters2

Here is a bit about her and her fabulous creation.

  I am a very proud single mum of a son called James and a little female Jack Russell called Jess, I am an avid animal lover especially dogs.  I started crafting about 10yrs ago it was something that I felt I needed while being off work long term sick, after accepting early retirement crafting became my life line.  I started off with decoupage but rapidly moved onto rubber stamping and in the last few years that love includes digital stamps.  I joined the Joanna Sheen forum and started a blog I have never looked back.  I have been so proud and honored to have served on many DT I have also made many long standing blogging buddies which has brought me a lot of happiness.
 
Thank you everyone for your great Inspirational Projects.

Now it's over to you.  Please Link Up your entries below

Thank you for joining us and Good Luck

Hello everyone, it's my turn to share a card with you again.  We're all so excited at here at Unicorn as next week we GO LIVE!!  We can't wait to launch our first challenge on Tuesday 1st September.  

This is a cute little mouse that came free with a magazine, I can't remember which one now as it was a while ago.  Christmas cards are my favourite ones to make so although it's August I'm getting ahead! I have made other cards with these mice which can be found on my blog.

Please follow us and grab our badge so you don't miss out.  Our first theme is a really good one and we are very much looking forward to visiting your blogs to see what you create!

Hi there I am Jackie and I am here to share a card with you this month before the challenge goes live next month. I can't tell you how pleased I am to be on the Design Team.  It is all so exciting and I can't wait to see what everyone creates.

This card I made for my Father-in-law's birthday. He is partially sighted, in fact he is registered blind, so I like to make him cards with a lot of texture so he can feel them . He loves the cards I make him and he always phones up to say thank you.

The stamp (Nutkin), embossing folder and masks all came from Creative Expressions. I created the leaves with some punches I have and the tree was made with a memory box die. 

Enjoy the rest of the month. Next week Claire will be sharing a creation with you. After that it is all systems go for the challenge. 

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie

Hello Everyone

It is less than a month to go now before our First Challenge.  The Team and I are so excited.  We cannot wait to have you come and join in with us and we are really looking forward to visiting your blogs.  There really are some fabulous creations out there.  I often wonder where everyone gets their ideas from,  All the cards are so different and it always amazes me how even when the same Image is used several times over by different crafters, the cards are always so different!

Anyway It is my turn to share a Card with you this week.  As before, we each shared a card with you in July.  The same will happen this month and then its GO LIVE time!!!

I have used an Art By Miran Image called Bashful Belinda.  If you had the chance to read my Introduction Post in May you will know that I love colouring in GreyScale/Monochrome tones using my ProMarkers.  I love for this Gorgeous Girl.

There is not much else for me to say now other than Thank you for sharing this card with me and I really hope to see you again when we start the Challenge and don't forget to come back and see the other girls wonderful creations throughout this month.

Have a Great Day!

Hello everyone, it's my turn to share a card with you today.

This is one of two cards I made for Father's Day last month, the other can be found on my blog.  I let my son choose which of his Grandads got which card and this went to my father-in-law.  He was really thrilled with it.

Our talented DT will be sharing some of their work with you right through to our launch on 1st September.  Don't forget to follow us and add our badge to your blog so you don't miss anything!

Thanks for stopping by, please come back next week to see what Traci has been making!
