2012 in Review

First, Happy New Year to all of you! I wish you all a wonderful new year of happiness and good health.

I have enjoyed seeing others show their favorite cards from their blogs from the past year so I thought I'd do the same. I discovered a couple of things when reviewing the year:

    1.  I like blue and green!  Duh.  :-)

    2.  I was WAY too irregular in my posting. My goal is to be more consistent and post more frequently             this year. 

Here are some of my favorite cards from the year: 

(using a great stamp and die set from Our Daily Bread Designs)

(Inspired by the wonderful Kelly Rasmussen)

(Creating with a Simon Says Stamp exclusive die - loved the little flowers)

(some fun with dies -- the Simon Hexagon border die and Memory Box Lorelei die)

 (discovered Glitter Ritz, Elizabeth Craft Designs stickers - colored with Copics)

(a wonderful Hero Arts Pom Pom Flower stamp colored with Copics.  Love the red!)

(Trying my best to be Kathy Racoosin!  Impossible.  Used Paper Smooches' Chubby Chums stamp set)

(Using the Simon Says Stamp Air vent die)

(my first experience with a digital stamp.  So fun to color)

(Inspired by a kitchen towel I saw in Bed Bath And Beyond)

 

(coloring a Penny Black Cling image)

(Furry Christmas Stamp set -- my favorite stamp EVER!  Kristina Werner rocks)

(Feeding my addiction to My Favorite Things Pure Innocence images)

(Papertrey Quatrefoil die filled with my favorite Christmas paper ever - Aspen Frost from Basic Grey)

Happy New Year Jana. I hope 2013 is filled with happiness. The review was fun to see. I have to say my favorite was the owl card. I love the deep colors and I am very partial to owls. Looking forward to your 2013 posts.

Happy New Year Jana.
I like all your cards, but I think the owl, and the pumpkin kids are my favorite.
Looking forward to you 2013 inspirations.

Something else I noticed is that you LOVE using dies! However, your use of them does NOT add bulk to the card, only more visual intrest:)

Beautiful cards, Jana! I especially love the quatrefoil one-those papers are gorgeous! Thanks so much for sharing! I have missed visiting your blog. I am trying to do some catching up!
