September Theme Swap

The Theme is Favourite Book for this month, there isn't a choice for me ..... has to be Angelique Book by SergeAnne Golon - from one to the end!!!

I first read this (these) book(s) as a serialised story in a Sunday Paper.  I wasn't supposed to be reading it as my Father judged it to be a bit racy, I read it under the bedclothes by torchlight ...... 
Once I was old enough to know better I bought the book, then the second one, then the third one .... you know how it goes!!
I still have the books, travelled round with me, reread a fair number of times, never to be parted from!  lol
I printed images of the first four books four times, then added the sentiment in the centre of the first 'card'.  I decoupaged each tiny book and edged the card with blue chalk ink.

My second book has to be Midsummer Night's Dream by William Shakespeare.

I found some vintage images online so printed them out, cutting one to card size and fussy cutting the drawn image.  Although they were printed on a cream textured paper, I sponged them all over with a small amount of cream chalk paint. I decoupaged this onto the card and then I printed the sentiment, fussy cut it and inked round the edges before attaching it to the lower edge of the card.

I couldn't choose a third book so went for all the Catherine Cookson books - I not only read the books but also watched the films.  Sounds sad but you see, my Father's family come from 'up North'.  

I printed out a collaged background of her books and then added a fussycut image of Catherine herself (at a book launch) and the sentiment was computer printed.





I received the following cards:


This is one book I have not heard of although I know of the central character.  I am going to have to read it now though!
Thank you JanW.

A great classic and, although I have not read this book, I have watched several versions on film.

Thank you Barbara.

                         Another great classic story.

Thank you GwynethRose.
