2012--A retrospective



New year's eve afternoon--a great time to look back over my blog and pick out my favorite cards from each month of 2012.   I have been enjoying reading other posts like this, and hope that you will enjoy my own little trip down memory lane.






































Do you have any special plans for tonight?  My husband will be cooking up a feast, as usual.  I am in charge of dessert, and made chocolate pot de creme earlier this morning.  It needs to sit all day, and I will not have access to the kitchen once dinner prep starts.  Well, I'll have access to the sink for washing dishes, but that's about it.

Sending wishes for a happy and healthy new year to all my friends in blog land.  See you in 2013!

Thanks for Visiting

  1. I remember almost all of these...love the last one the most with those owls and speech bubbles, oh and the great WM leaf with the woodgrain background. I loved that one! You made so many great cards this year Joyce, and everything is so different and used so many different kinds of stamps. Great job on your Year in Review.

My favorite card is December, I love all of the speech bubbles in the different patterned paper, just so cute and clever. I am looking forward to seeing all that you create. Happy New Year!

  9. What a great selection Joyce and I have been doing the exact same thing this afternoon. If I had to pick only one, it would have to be March.
    Happy New Year to you and your family and enjoy your dinner!

  10. Joyce yes you did narrow it down, but I could have easily added so many more cards of yours that I loved. I could not pick one that I like more than the other but I do always love your creations with the Memory Box Piestra die, so fabulous. Here`s to make lots more beautiful cards in 2013 my friend. Happy Happy New year!

  14. Hi Joyce, and Happy New Year! I have not picked up a stamp or an inkpad in well over a month :(. I am back to work today after the Christmas break, and finally took a look at my favorite places in blogland. You have been wonderfully busy, and I had a great time looking through your 2012 favorites. I enjoy your creations so much, and you are the most supportive blogging friend. Thank you for that. I hope to get back in my craft room soon, though my boys' schedule is a bit overwhelming for the next few months. Maybe I can set up a stamping space in my car! I hope you and yours are well!

  16. Joyce love all the cards you chose ! Each one is gorgeous! June cards stand out because I had to buy that die after I saw these and you won with this one too didn't you!
    Thanks for the shove for me to do mine it just seems to late.
    It still brings a big smile to my face when I see the owl on my blog!
