I am back from my parchment course. Here is the main project, the flower at the bottom has been quilled.

Lovely, and I love the mounting. Well done!

Gorgeous!

That is beautiful, Sue!

Here is one of the cards we made, I need to finish the others.

Oh wow! What a lot of work, that is just so intricate!!!

Yes, eight pieces for one card! I have another card to complete which also has eight pieces, four different painted Christmas bits and some scalloped circles.

It looks fantastic! Your snowflakes are so pretty, and all that lacework behind! I'd eat it sooner than finish it!!!

Here's the first of my Christmas cards, (I finally made a start last night):

I love it.

I've so enjoyed looking at your cards, what a talented group of gals you are. Makes my cards look as if I'm in kindergarten, lol!!!

This one is done with black acrylic paint.

Loving to see all the Christmas cards! As I said, me and Mum have had house improvements this year, so the bulk of the Christmas cards were made by August, seeming the house would be a little disarranged.



I don't know if you can see it closely, but this is a embroidered list of Agatha Christie books, plays and major characters. I do like to keep my fingers busy!

Goodness gracious Jane, how wonderful.

WOW Jane, that's fabulous! What a great idea and a great way to link two of your favourites!

Wow from me too, Jane! That's a huge amount of work.

Here is a card I made last night ... thanks to Santana for the image and computer help!

Looks good, copago! Love your shading! I just can't get it to work well with the promarkers *sniff*

This year, life's one long race against the time, the only day that's not spent clock-watching is Sunday, and I thought it was appropriate to note it in the album:

That is brilliant Jill.

Well I was spoiled rotten this year, receiving loads of cards from far and wide to mark the passage of another 12 months of my life. The furthest afield came from our very own Jill, & I love it:



Isn't that enough to bring a smile to anyone's dial???
Thanks so much, girlie <3

Oh hell, I missed it Toni, sorry!

I have also had some lovely ones this year and thumb to nose, I will post them all today!

The first is from our dear JaneMarple



Then Mrs and Mr Tellywellies



And I got one from Jill too

Oh lovely, a nice new forum , just for the fun of Auntie Ren, the Funtrivia Phantom Photo Forum Fixer! Thanks a bunch!
OK so it's fine, but no rood pictures.

Oh come on, I am only 65 once!

Loving all the cards, Sue, and everyone else!
I'll show a few more Christmas cards in a few days

Great cards!

OOh what lovely cards, Sue! And of course exceptions are allowed for a 65th!!!

no sweat either, I really intended sending you a handmade card, but I've been so bogged down in everything else recently that it hasn't happened yet
