| Hello Honey Can't tell you how much I love that Big Shot I bought last December! |
 |
| A Bouquet of Thanks I love it when I can add something pretty to a card's interior. |
 |
| A Royally Cute Couple Paper Piecing can be a coloring-challenged gal's best friend... |
 |
| Love on the Frozen Tundra ... and I felt like my paper piecing went to a whole new level this year. |
 |
| Warm Socks, Warmer Wishes I loved stretching my card-making skills by playing along with a number of different challenge blogs... |
 |
| Nuts About You .... including trying a multi-element sketch at Mojo Monday... |
 |
| You Hold the Key to My Heart ... channeling Tim Holtz for a Shopping Our Stash challenge.... |
 |
| Be the Star You Are ... and using limited supplies to meet a make-your-background challenge while on vacation. |
 |
| Stars Fit for a Hero OWH Sketches are my inspiration for Any Hero cards. |
 |
| Missing You Stenciling with paste was one of the many things we learned at Simon Says CREATE 2014! |
 |
| All Alone in the City I was so excited with this cityscape created with a stair-step fold and Paper Smooches dies. |
These last three cards, which were made for friends and family, also have a special place in my crafting heart.
 |
| From Darkness to Light Last year marked the debut of the Words 2 Scrap By challenge blog, and I was thrilled with the way these blended Distress Inks turned out on this card I made for our W2SB August challenge. This card was sent to a dear friend starting a new school year. :) |
 |
| Look, Dad! Dad turned 80 in 2014. So, I used some computer word processing skills to make a card with a mock newspaper front. |
 |
| #14reasonstocelebrate Making personalized sentiments is one of my favorite things to do. This seemed like a great sentiment for my nephew's 14th birthday. |
Parting Thoughts

A fabulous array of card creations here Sybrina. Each one is a delight to view and I love that you placed little snippits of info for each of them. I loved them all but I think I would have to say that the card for your Dad is the best for understandable reasons. Happy New Year.

ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful cards! I think my favorites are the first one, because I love that little bee, and the last one, because it's so perfect for someone that age, maybe I'll have to CASE that one for my grandson who will be turning 15 soon.
