My favourite cards from 2009

I hope you all had a fabulous time last night ... whatever you did.

I have had a go at picking my favourite 5 cards of 2009 ... sorry there are 9!!! I can't believe how much my cards have changed as the year has gone on ... and how many new techniques I have tried out!!

I hope you like my choices as much as I do!

Quixotic Paperie Challenge blog is also offering candy worth £40 to share your favourite card of 2009.

I love this card, its a gorgeous stamp and those papers are some of my favourite, bought the lot out at a fab craft shop I know. I used the cracked glass technique and distressed everything in sight!!
I made this card for the Sketch and Stash challenge ... gorgeous K and Co papers and a lovely Sarah Kay image.


I lvoe this one as I used plain papers and stamped the detail myself.


This has to be my favourite Christmas card ... I love the image and these gorgeous MME papers.


I love Hamish and made this card for a friend's birthday. He is fixing a landrover and it's been a long term project!! I love the BG sentiment.

This card was made using a sketch from Friday Sketchers. This has to be one of my favourite Tildas, and I lvoe the papers and details.

Willow is beautiful isn't she. I used one of Katharina's sketches and made my own dp using distress inks, glimmer mists and masks.

Ellie's birthday card ... I just love it!!
And the card I made for the birth of a friend's baby girl ...
And the hidden image!
