The year in Review

Welcome - I was going to do a new post, but instead have decided to review the year and post a card from each month!! 

This is my January choice - I had fun experimenting with this background and loved the outcome.


February was another card that had an experimental background that I chose.  Loved the way this one turned out!


In March there were fewer cards to choose from, but I really loved this one.


In April our Grandson was born, and this was my favourite card - made for my grand daughter's second birthday


May brought some more studio time, a slew of sympathy cards and my first successful paper piecing on a card.


For June I chose this bright card - simply because it is so cheerful - even more so in real life.


July I found hard to choose a card as there were several that I like, but this one with (retired) stamps from Layers of Color was the one I chose.


August I made this card for a dear friend


September I combined and digi image with digi paper and came up with this colourful card, and got it up before my computer died!


October was a month for numerous baby cards, this one being my favourite


In November my favourite was a commissioned card 


December saw me experimenting - this time with gesso and watercolours


I do hope you have enjoyed this review of my year - I do know that I have enjoyed reviewing my blog and selecting them.  There were many other cards made, some of which never made it to my blog, and some of which, to my embarrassment  I didn't even photograph before getting them away.  I blame that on being a senior blonde ....

Thank you for supporting me through out this past year, you visits and comments have been very much appreciated.

May your 2013 be one which brings much joy to you and yours.

All Your cards are great...tfs. Also thank you for visiting my blog and leaving the nice comments. In regard to Christmas cards, My original plan was to make the cards all the same, but I ended up with all of them home made but all different, because I wanted to use up some of the supplies I had. Next year, I hope to make them all the same, I think it would definitely make it easier, and Maybe, just maybe that way I will get all my cards in the mail BEFORE Christmas...
Happy New Year to you...Blessings, Jill
