I didn’t realize how hard it would be to pick out my 10 favorite cards that I made this year. Some of these are new and not blogged yet, but they are among my favorites so they are included!
And, I am taking the liberty of adding one more LOL.
I just could not leave this one out even though I already had 10. So what do you think? Please tell me your favorite!
Happy New Year! Thanks so much for visiting with me this year. I am looking forward to a very crafty 2013!

Hi sweet friends. Thank you for taking the time to visit today!
I have a CAS thank you card that I made using the Paper Smooches inspiration photo (below).
The sentiment was stamped repeatedly using embossing ink and then heat embossed with SU! clear embossing powder. It was stamped once in DI.The flower stamp from Inkadinkado was inked with the same DI. Some RRR ribbon in light blue checkerboard and crystals complete this simple card.

Hello all my sweet friends! I sincerely hope you had a fantastic Christmas with your family and friends. We had a wonderful time and I had WAY too much to eat, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
Today, I wanted to switch gears and share a card with you that uses quilling, and is not a holiday themed card!
To make the left panel, I used Distress Ink on an acrylic block and sprayed with water. I love the light pastel look it gave the paper. The right panel is embossed with an embossing folder and the two panels are mounted on purple cardstock and stitched around the edge. I then mounted the entire panel on pink cardstock. A pretty ribbon and double bow was added down the middle and then I added my quilled flowers and vine.
If your weather is as bad as mine is today, I hope this card brings you a little ray of spring sunshine.
