This was indeed a difficult task, picking my top ten favorite of 2012. There were some that immediately got nixed because they had just been used two weeks ago when I was Featured Cardmaker for OWH. Here are ten I liked for different reasons and in no particular order...
Butterfly card CASE'd from Pinterest. I LOVED this but only made two... posted 4-16-12
One of the classes I took at my LSS in 2012, was this class using Northwoods stamps and Copics. I thought it was SO beautiful but only made one. I did however, purchase the stamp and have no logical reason for not making it again... posted 5-2-12
Always a favorite for me, is the Starburst....
And here it is with Christmas papers and snowflakes... posted 8-31-12
And of course, my most favorite combo... my first official blog post 1-14-12
A very quick card to do and one of my all time favorites. I make several of these at a time when I do them... posted 6-13-12
My entry for the Memorial Day Blog Hop... LOVED this! Posted 5-26-12...
A technique I discovered while investigating what to do for the World Card Making Day Blog Hop. It's called the Bargello Technique... posted 10-9-12
Another favorite of mine, the Scrappy Background. In this one, I incorporated the sentiment into the background. I like the effect... posted 8-2-12
And finally, I learned this year how to turn a 6" x 6" pad into several cards, following another cardmakers tutorial, Kristie. I liked the layout and colors of this one. The most I've ever created from one pad was 21 cards. The goal is to top that in 2013...
So, there you have it! Now, off to make the Best of 2013...
Great collection of cards, Cindy! Happy New Year!
