Favourites of the Year - Round 1

Last year I decided to pick my ten favourite cards from the previous year and of course I wanted to do that again this year. The problem. Ten is too few! There were so many projects that made my heart sing and made me smile that I decided to not worry about the number count and just show you my top picks.

Embossed Snowflake

This is my second post for today. Keep scrolling down to see my Wednesday Wonders.

I didn't have a chance to use this beautiful snowflake from BoBunny yet so I wanted to make a quick card and show it off. I love how the snowflake looks embossed in Turquoise Tapestry embossing powder, so pretty. The background is Hero Arts Woodgrain stamp and  I used Kassie's Brocade from Cuttlebug to emboss the red cardstock.

I probably won't be posting again before Christmas so I would like to wish everyone all the best during the holidays. Merry Christmas!


Thanks for stopping by!

Tiffany Doodles Christmas Challenge and Blog Hop

Here is my first project as Design Team member for Tiffany Doodles. The December challenge is Christmas and runs from Dec. 7-31 with a new challenge starting every month on the 7th!

I had a crazy Dr. Suess kind-of-moment when I combined the two images for this card, Christmas Sleigh and Presents. I used Distress Inks on the gifts and Prismacolors and glitter pens on the sleigh. I put lots of Glossy Accents on the sleigh runner to make it nice and shiny and used Mica Flakes for the snow.

If you're here from the Blog Hop, yippee you're almost at the end of the journey. Only two more blogs left! If you don't know what I'm talking about, there's a Blog Hop that started at Tiffany Doodles. Go check it out!

To win prizes, become a follower of every blog on the list and leave a comment at each blog. The more comments, the more prizes you could win! There will be 3 Grand Prizes of 3 digi images for each winner and every blog will also have a random winner. Check back on Friday at the Tiffany Doodles blog and here to see if you're a lucky winner.

The random winner from my blog will win the Birdies Housework image which I used on this "We've Moved" card.

Now before you head on over to the next blog I just want to remind you of the digi special going on right now, buy 3 get 1 free. Who doesn't love a special! Also, Tiffany is madly working away at a new and improved blog to make your shopping experience so much easier. Keep your eyes peeled for all the great changes!
