2014--A Retrospective



Another year has come and gone, and I have taken this opportunity to look over all the cards I made and blogged about over the past year.  Since we are saying goodbye to 2014, I have cheated on my baker's dozen just a smidge and have selected 14 of my favorite cards to share today.  I tried to pick some of my favorites and also cards that represent something I really like--either a favorite style, stamp set, or technique.  If you are looking to see all my cards in one place, click here and you will be taken to my Pinterest board, where I pin all of my own cards.

What do I notice?  A lot of white space, die cuts--both negative and positive, paper piecing, flowers, and buildings and houses.  Yes, that sounds like me.  

Click on each card to go back to the original post. 






































Thank you for joining me on this trip down memory lane.  I am so grateful for all the friends I have met in this crafty blogging community.  Your visits, comments and friendship mean a lot to me.

I wish you all a happy and healthy new year. 


Thanks for Visiting

  15. What a great selection of cards. It was nice to see these as I was pretty neglectful with blogs this past year. I absolutely love the gorgeous card you made for World Card Making Day. It is a beauty.The card with the lattice frame is very beautiful with the flower cluster. The thank you card with the impression line water coloring is stunning. The color on those flowers is striking. Santa in his sleigh is darling.
    Thanks for giving me a heads up about my card on Facebook. I am not a member of face book so I appreciate your comment. Wishing you a healthy and happy New Year.
