Favourites of the Year

I have been taking a little break from stamping over the holidays but today I thought I would post 10 of my favourite cards from 2009 that were made before I started my blog on September 1st. (I have two blog entries for today so keep reading after you're done this first one) It's fun to go back and look over older works and critique them and to see all the techniques I used. I've noticed that my camera skills have improved over the year, now that I have a light box and play with the settings on my camera. Enjoy the show!

I'm a leaf stamp addict, need I say more!
 

















Love the textures and layers plus the fuzzy body is so fun!
Beautiful background colours with Distress Inks and Perfect Pearls.
A really different card for me and I love how it turned out!
A maple leaf, simple and beautiful! 

Fold-out photo card with fantastic colours!
Red, black and white are always great together and love the shine of the metal butterflies. The black mesh is window screen, this was made for a recycling challenge.
Very fun garden of Spirelli or String Art flowers!

















Please keep reading, I have two entries for today. Below is my entry that shows some of my favourite cards by other stampers.

Thanks for stopping by!
