Calendar 2009 September

Here is the September page of my calendar, its been on the back burner for a while as other things have taken priority, but I'm gradually getting there!
I've started to make the colours more autumnal, although it looks pink in the picture its actually more red and orangey than pink. I've seen the ribbon threading thing on other cards and thought I'd give it a go.*Penny Black For A Spin coloured with Whispers pens
*Papers from Shabby Princess
*Ribbon from Chatterbox
*Eyelets and brad from stash
*Flowers from Prima and papermania

Calendar 2009 May and June

I have decided to continue to upload the pages of my calendar for you to see but please do not copy my work or claim my ideas as your own. I have no problem with fellow crafters using my idea of making a calendar with the acrylic album, heck it seems like they are perfectly designed for this, but please change it enough to make it your own, especially if you are going to use the same papers and lay out. Also my words are subject to copyright so do not copy how I have described my work either, Thank you.

Right now that's out the way here are the next two pages:

May
