My Fave of 2008

Dawn has taken on the challenge and challenged us all to look at the work
we have done in 2008 and pick our 10 faves....
I thought it would be easy to do.

In no particular order.......

Firstly is the first ever scarp page I did.
Emma Elfie helped me and it was for my friend Bunty.
The beautiful young woman in it Laura, died this summer.
Aged just 24 , two weeks before she was due to marry her soul mate Richard.

This was my first ATC, Emma also helped me with this.
I love the colours on it with the contrasting papers on the leaf.
It was also one of my first cuttlebug dies.

This was a card that was way out of my usual style.
I love all the different papers on it.
And the saying on it , was something Laura used to say.

Next a recent make.
The Holly King, a pagan card for Yule
made for my Dear friends Nan & Paul.

Our niece Robyn got engaged to Paul this spring.
This exploding box was full of pictures of her and Paul.
The rose in the centre too ages to make.

There HAD to be a Poppy Dog one!
This was one of my fave Xmas cards.
With guard dog Poppy reporting for duty sir!

Friends of ours got married at the start of December.
This card followed a sketch and I wasn't sure about the rings on it.
But the lace is actually spare lace left over from making my wedding dress!

An early make.
The butterfly is a brooch I made.
I love butterflies, I have one as a tattoo on my shoulder.

A lady at work became a Nanna and this is a book to celebrate
her Grand daughter Matilda's birth.

Each page has details of her weight,
or the date or the
place of birth.

And lastly a card that looks quiet cute from the outside....

And inside is the nativity scene.
I actually changed the star inside
to a bigger one that Sammi gave me.

It took ages to get everything to fit
and the donkey and lambs come out
and act as stabilisers for the card.
Mary, Joesph and Baby Jesus pull to the centre.
I must admit.
I thought it had three wise men and two shepherds.
and we almost had two Josephs on the card......

Looking back.....many of my cards have green or brown on them....
I do love green and browns!

Have enjoyed this looking back at the last year.
But its been so much fun as you guys have done this year with me.

Many hugs my lovelies.
