A Year In Review- My Favorites from 2013

Hi Again Stampers!!

JustAdd Ink’s Challenge this week is to share your favorite project from 2013, so I thought I would share a few of my favorites from this past year.

Most of my favorites involve scenery or animals - we tend to create images using what we love, don't we?  

January 2013- Created my own DSP with the floral stamp and neutral colors

March 2013- A combination of digital and tradtional cardmaking techniques (a "hybrid") 

May 2013- A CAS Card using punches and dry embossing

July 2013- This was a unique color challenge :-)

August 20013- Masking and Sponging with my new favorite set "Wetlands" 

August 2013- A fun "girly" card - punches, stamps and digital 

A fun "hybrid" card- had to include this one since I love cats :-)

Oct 2013- Another one that used a cat die - had fun creating the background from scraps

 

Nov 2013- A Masculine card using Distressing and Embossing for texture

 

Nov 2013- Homemade DSP with Masking, Background Stamps and Distressing

Dec 2013- Masking, Stamping and DSP but No Big Shot :-)

Dec 2013- Final Card for the New Year (another "hybrid" card) 

I hope you enjoyed these cards and I am looking forward to creating in 2014.   If you have a chance, let me know which one is your favorite or your favorite technique- would love to hear from you!

Have a great week and have fun stamping!!

2011- A Year in Review

Happy New Year Stampers!   

I was in a bit of a reflective state today and since it is a New Year thought I would join my fellow stamping bloggers in displaying a personal favorite from each month (a Year in Review).  If you would like further details on each, click on the link below each photo and it will take you to the direct post:

                                           

January 2011- This card is quite distressed and I love the sentiment "Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle" by Elizabeth David

February 2011- This is a hybrid card that I made for my wonderful husband last year :-)

March  2011- I love nature and Nature Walk is one of my favorite sets :-)

April 2011-  A quick sponge technique combined with embossing- Clean and Simple! 

May 2011- A tribute to our Armed Forces and a reminder to pray for them each day

June 2011-  Two more CAS cards with the same color combination (and the dream of traveling :-))

July 2011-  Several types of embossing techniques were used for this one along a new set from the 2011 catalog :-)

 August 2011-  Created for a friend that was moving on to a different job (this one uses a simple masking and sponging technique)

 September 2011-   Another one of the new stamps sets that I "had" to have (love this bee!)  This card incorporates a punched layer central panel and sentiment that were fun to make...

 October 2011-   This color combination seemed like an "unlikely trio" but after playing with the colors, I found the combination a great one (and will use it again) 

 November 2011-   This card was created for a "girly-girl" challenge and I had so much fun "dressing it up"! 

 December 2011-   This card was one of a kind that I made for my father and step-mother (they live in another state and I do not get to see them for Christmas).  I do miss seeing them and hope they enjoyed this card as much as I did creating it for them! :-)




Thanks again for stopping by!  I hope each of you have a great week stamping and creating- God Bless!!
