Vintage label set

I’ve chosen this card

  I’ve learnt the  technique of using  colouring pencils and Sansador & this is one of the cards that I’ve made using this newly acquired technique

I cribbed this idea for displaying cards for the whole year for Tracey’s site.  Mine has a slightly different slant as some months I’ve  chosen  2 cards to display as I couldn’t favour one above another. 

2009 has been a difficult year for me but luckily I have survived it and come out the other end thanks to the support of my fantastic family, friends and work colleagues.  Although it is no consolation at the time there are always people worse off that yourself.

January

Samantha’s 22nd birthday card

February

Nicola’s 25th birthday card

March

one of my first pieces of die cut decoupage

April

my very first piece of non die cut decoupage

May

these were made for Emily and Cameron’s christening – sadly because of Mum’s illness she was unable to be there bit I took lots of photo’s for her

June

This was the last card Joe and I ever sent to my Mum on her 84th birthday June 26th 2009.  Very sadly on July 31st she died – after a relatively short illness – so 2009 has been a very sad year for me and my family.   Mum has left a very big gap in my life especially and I miss her loads.

July

September

these are significant as they are coloured with crayons and Sansador a technique which I have taught myself and which I feel very comfortable with

Best wishes for 2010 to everyone

Jane’s hot chocolate -  doesn’t that look delicious

I forgot the girls to take a picture of me :(  But I had a latte and a bacon and brie pannini

It was a lovely couple of hours relaxing and chatting in great company and wonderful surroundings.  I can recommend this book cafe as a great place to stop for a coffee.

I managed to get Joe into town a few days later and we had coffee here.  On  this occasion I noticed way up high on the out side it was original the owned by Derby & Derbyshire Banking Company
