Favorites of 2011 Part 2

Here we are New Year's Eve, I just can't believe it!! So I have been thinking about things I want to do in the New Year with this blog and hobby. I have a few tutorials to finish including a hair color reference chart and I want to take pictures and share a few organizing ideas. I want to create just for fun and work on more projects a side from cards. A resolution that I broke last year...use the digis and rubber that I already have. Start a Facebook page... check (see my side bar I would love it if you "Like" my blog) and start an Etsy shop. Last but not least spend more time visiting my Followers. I love you guys and sometimes DT work can take so much time that I just can't make it to everyone's blog but I so love and appreciate all of you and the comments.
If you are still with me here are the rest of my favorite cards of 2011. I hope you enjoy taking a look back.

Wee Fairy

I have to say this is my absolute favorite. I love this image and I used my favorite colors and was very happy with her hair.

I hope everyone has a safe and wonderful New Year with many blessings!!

The Sweet Stop Sketch 134

I first want to say a big "Thank You" to all of you who stop by and leave such nice comments. I appreciate all of you and I want to apologize that I haven't been able to visit everyone as much as I use to. This school year has brought on a lot of added activities and I may have over done it myself. I have some new goals for the new year but I will share all of that next month. I am so dead tired at the end of the day I just can't stay up so late anymore but I hope to get better.
I have another Christmas project to share with you today. I have been trying really hard to get a few Christmas cards done for those extra special people that appreciate a hand made card.
I used the new sketch over at The Sweet Stop SSS134. My stamp is from Elizabeth Bell called What's In the Box Peeker. And I used my new favorite holiday sentiment set from Sweet 'n Sassy called Christmas Tags. I loved the black and red wreath I made here and decided to make a card in the same colors to go along with it. The border punch is MFT Dienamics Scalloped Scallop and I added some silver dots on the edges to go along with the ribbon buckle.

Sending Love

The Sweet Stop Sketch 121/ Blog Candy Winners!!

I first want to apologize for missing last weeks sketch at The Sweet Stop. I was having a loss of mojo or creativity and no matter how hard I tried I couldn't complete a card that I was happy with. I took a couple days break and jumped back in and got my cards done for this week and am feeling a bit better. Actually I have to say I kind of love my card this week but more about that in just a minute.
Thank you to all that entered my Blog Candy. I am trying to make my way to all of my new followers blogs so please be patient with me my computer time has been so limited lately but I can't wait to meet new friends in blog land. Now for the winners the Blog Candy Goes to Edel and the $25.00 Gift Certificate to All That Scraps goes to sparklingblackrose (Elaine). Congrats, please email me your information so I can get those things out to you.
And now my card for this weeks The Sweet Stop Sketch SSS121.

Isn't this just the cutest stamp? I love it and it is brand new by Elisabeth Bell Called Secret Garden Peeker and it is available at Susana's Custom Art & Card Design. I had to splurge and get this entire collection. I colored her with Copics and added a few doodles of rocks and grass along with clouds that I sponged with my favorite sky color Twilight from CTMH....hummm I wonder if I like because of the name?:) I did a little bit of paper piecing on her shoes and belt and distressed all of the edges. The ribbon was actually all cream but I colored the center part with B95. The flower was created using the Mother's Day Bouquet cartridge on my Cricuit. I cut them out on cream paper and then sketched the flower centers and edges with B95/B93 and colored the pearl with YG63. The swirls are 2 different dies from Sizzix. The sentiment is from C.C. Designs HERE and I think that is about it.
