2011 Top Ten

I started this blog in February of 2011 and I've had so much fun sharing my cards, reading the nice comments and meeting new people through their blogs. I was just over at my friend Virginias blog and she listed her top 10 favorite cards of the year - maybe not the ones that got the most recognition - but just the ones she enjoyed making the most. I thought that was a great idea. So today I'm sharing with you the 10 projects I enjoyed the most in 2011. Thanks for stopping by and Happy New Year!!

Hero Arts Sketch Challenge - Newspaper Flower

I made this card using some of my new and old Hero Arts stamps for their current sketch challenge. I used the Zig Zag background stamp and the Newspaper Flower. I mixed several different Distress Inks on a white piece of card stock to get this purple color. Then I stamped the flower on the paper 3 times and cut out the different sections and attached them with foam tape. The sentiment is from the Everyday Sayings stamp set. Thanks for taking a look!

Here's my card. 

Gel-a-tins Wednesday - "Krafty" Thank You Card

Here's the card I made for the Gel-a-tins blog this week. I figured it was time to make some thank you cards for all those Christmas gifts. Head on over the Gel-a-tins blog for more details. This is my last week using the Gel-a-tins 3-D Alphas stamp set. Be sure to check back next Wednesday to see my fun new stamps for January.

Born To Shop - Skipping Stones

I made this card for the current Skipping Stones Sketch Challenge #108. I haven't had time to enter this challenge in a long time, but I love using my Skipping Stones Stamps. This is one of my favorite stamp sets and I feel like the sentiment describes me perfectly lately - I've been doing lots of shopping and I really prefer it to going to work!! But, if I want to buy new stamps I'll have to go back next week. Thanks for stopping by!
