Hello and welcome. I hope everyone had a fabulous Christmas and have enjoyed being with family and friends. I have decided to co-host this year's
Year In Review blog hop put on by
Elliebelle's Corner. I have several favorite projects but will only share my Top 10 for now.
1) First up is a card made for the
Cat Lovers Hop in
October -
Singing The Song Of Our Peoples using some old Rubbernecker stamps I've had for a decade or more and never used.
2) Next up is another
Cat Lovers Hop card from
October using a digital from
Impression Obsession -
A Cat In The Hat Jack.
3) Next I have a card that was made for the 2022 Dare To Get Dirty Challenges in
July over on Splitcoaststampers -
Boho Bull. Definitely a favorite since I learned a new technique that I really like.
4) Next up is another card I made in
July using a digital from
Impression Obsession. The coloring turned out better than I thought it would -
Classic Truck
5) Next is another
Impression Obsession digital image I made in
July -
Old Fishing Hole
6) Next is a card I made back in
August while dealing with some personal and health issues -
Wildlife Babies. I really love how it turned out especially with all of the "outside stuff" I was dealing with at the time.
7. Next is a card made in
June using my retired clear stamps from
The Cat's Pajamas -
Oh What Fun
8. Next up is a card I made in May using another Impression Obsession digital stamp as part of the #cardsforukraine card drive - Another Sunflower For Ukraine
9. April brought out my lighthouse images and another Impression Obsession digital stamp is a favorite - Spring Lighthouse I absolutely LOVE how this card turned out. My mother and I both loved lighthouses. She passed away in 1991 from breast cancer and I was thinking of her a lot while coloring it.
10. Now I love a good snarky card, and when I saw this stamp set from Whimsy in April, I knew I just had to have it, AND the family member that would be receiving this card at Christmas .
11. In March, I played along with the Virtual Stamp Night challenges over at Splitcoaststampers.com. For one of the challenges, I used this image from Gracielle Design - I Am The Resurrection And The Life
12. January saw me seriously try out stenciling to use on cards using some stencils from Picket Fence Studios, and found I really liked how they turned out - Rockin' Wishes
