2012 A Year in Review (part 1)

Well 2012 is almost over and what a year it has been.

The most exciting part of this year for me would have been the birth of my second Grandchild, Hayley.

It is always hard to select just one or two cards/projects for each month, especially when you post so many. This year I have over 480 blog posts for 2012, wow that sounds a lot when you look back like this.

This year being that it is so hard to select just one I am going to do this review in two parts, today and tomorrow and have decided to select 2 cards/projects per month.

Here is the selection I came up with, if you click on the card it will take you over to the original blog post.

January 2012

February 2012

March 2012

April 2012

May 2012

June 2012

Well that’s it for the first 6 months of 2012.

I will be back tomorrow with part 2 of my year in review, thanks for looking if you got this far.

Birthday Giraffe

Hi everyone,

I have another card today using that freebie stamp set I received when I purchased a stamping magazine recently. I loved the sweet images in the set.

Here is the inside of my card, I used a sentiment I have had for some time.

Stamps: Giraffe – Teddy Bo & Co; Birthday Sentiment (inside) – Kaszazz

Paper: White; Blue; Market Square DP – Farmhouse Paper Company

Other: Black Ink; Twine; Button; MFT Die-namics Fishtail Flags; MFT Die-namics Fishtail Flags Stax; Copics

 

Pretty Ballerina!

Hi everyone,

Today I am sharing a few Ballerina notecards I created a while back but never posted to my blog. The Ballerina is a stamp from Paper Pretties

I stamped the image onto white card and then used a circle die to cut out the image.

Stamps: Ballerina Sophia – Paper Pretties

Paper: White; Light Pink; Dark Pink; DP

Other: Black Ink; Circle Nestabilities; Rhinestones

 

HB2U!

Hi everyone,

It’s Wednesday which means it’s time for this week’s Wednesday Stamp Club sketch over on the MFT Stamps Member Forum of SCS. It’s another fun sketch!



For my card this week I decided to make a birthday card for a male /boy so I got out my Die-namics Airplane Greetings Die & Stamp Set Combo …. love this die-namic and stamp combo! As you can see I used the airplane itself for the top rectangle on the sketch.

For the sentiment along the bottom I used one of the sentiments from the LJD Gift Card Greetings II stamp set. I love that HB2U sentiment in this set and will be wearing it out for sure hehe! After stamping the sentiment on my white card I used the smallest circle from the Die-namics Circle Stax 2 to cut out each of the letters and symbols.

At the top of the card I added one of the arrows from the Die-namics Lead the Way set … another favorite of mine .

Here is the inside of my card, I used the Die-namics Airplane Greetings Die & Stamp Set Combo again to create my greeting cutting off the top of the airplane so it looks like the airplane is flying off the card.
