New Banner By "Sandra Gerdes"

My unreal banner that you now see on my blog was created by the lovely Sandra Gerdes thankyou so very much Sandra I just love it !! you are such a clever chicky, and so talented, go and check Sandra's blog out it is just stunning. Sandra is also a 2006 Scrapbooking Master.
I have been doing a couple of CJ, I just thought I would share with you, this is the first, I did this with Carol, Leanne and Jolene Pienaar, and many more ladies, and I had a lot of fun, I have finally finished it and posting it today, so here is some of the things I did. We had to create tins and in the tins we all had our own theme, these three themes I am about to show you are, Recipe, Colour and Mother's words, I just loved doing these. The tiny little photo on the tag is my DD Sarah and me.

The next Swap was a Tile Swap, organised by Tammy James, thankyou so much for organising this Tammy it was so different and so enjoyable, we all had different themes again, some had pretty some had heritage etc., so each tile is different and will be posted to each individual participant. The four in the middle are my theme Pretty and Flowery which I will create once I have my tiles sent to me. Very intricate but heaps of fun. I also have to paint and do finishing touches to the background so I will show it to you again when I have completed it.
Also I have a project - chipboard Mini Heart Book in this months Scrapbooking Memories, I thought I would share a few more photos of this, SM supplied the Maya Roads Chipboard Heart book and the Chipboard hearts and paisley and also ribbon. I have photos everywhere today, just a little bit to share LOL !!
I hope you have a wonderful week.
Best Wishes Carole x

OMG LOVE LOVE LOVE the page you did (the banner is simply amazing) the tiles are so intriguing to me. SO you buy the tile board and people make the tiles and send them to you? so you swap them out? that seems really cool. where to find the tiles though.. hmmm I will have to look hard for this.
VERY CUTE INDEED. Love your little books too!

Sharon S said...

Hi Carole, I am going to be checky here & aske if I could commition you to make me 1 tile, I would like one similar to the flowery fawns tiles above the sea tile. I am iabout to start making invitations for my DIL to be's bridal shower & that would be awesome to have. If I see one in the flesh so to speak, I should be able to follow how you have made it.
