2013 in Review... these are a few of my FAVOURITE things...

OK, maybe more than a few... Looking back, 2013 was an amazing crafty year for me, with almost 250 cards created, so I hope you will bear with me when my favourite creations for the year top 30 LOL!  I've included my favourite wall art and scrapbooking too.

I was so excited to have been invited to join the inaugural FUSION and 10 Minute Craft Dash Design Teams, and as Guest Designer for Paper Smooches, CAS(E) this Sketch, Little Tangles, Keep It Simple and part of Christine's Das Kartenchaos Advent Calendar. Had a ball being part of the Lawnscaping Winter Blog Hop and DeNami Designs Razzle Dazzle Blog Hop too!

 I'd LOVE to see your favourites for 2013 :)

You can like them up with Catered Crop Remembering 2013 and

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking the time to say hello :)

A Perfect Pair? Pairfect...

Thought it was a pairfect afternoon to see if my crafting efforts would bear fruit, playing along with...
Keep It Simple Fruity Challenge
The Alley Way Stamps BE Inspired Challenge
CAS(E) this Sketch
Just Add Ink Just Add Green Challenge
I found the pairfect Cuttlebug embossing folder to pair with these gorgeous The Alley Way Stamps, heat embossed in Zing Cricket (I so think this should be renamed Hairy Lime after that fabulous Mini paint colour!) to reflect the lime green and white combo from The Alley Way Stamps BE Inspired Challenge, (I reckon that chair is shaped like a pear tipped on its' side too, don't you!), and this afternoon I kept more true to this weeks hugely versatile CAS(E) this Sketch.

Could be the pairfect time for you to play along too...

This made me smile!

 

Just Add Ink Honorable Mention

There She Goes all Moxie Fab...

The first thing I thought of when I saw this weeks Tuesday Trigger Cross My Heart Challenge was this home-made looking grid paper from MME, perfect for sitting on this teal blue base.  I thought I'd create a heart card inspired by this card, but as I don't have any heart embossing folders, I thought I'd substitute these fab polka dots instead.  I punched out a folk heart and used it as a template to hand cut my heart aperture.  The sentiment is a combination of Paper Smooches Alphadot, and There She Goes Day & Night, perfect for playing along with this weeks TSG Inspiration Challenge.

I just realised when reading this that a lot of "thought" goes into my creating! LOL!

 

Playing along with Simon Says Stamp Have a Heart, Just Add Ink Just Add a Hearts and Ribbon Carousel Challenges too!
