Welcome
I know I am a wee bit late to be putting this review post up, but better late than never.
It is always interesting to review your own work, and I find it interesting that some of the cards I was least pleased with, brought the most positive reactions from you, my readers.
I will link each card to where it was posted in the month title.
I still love the drama the black and white gives this card.
Yes, a CASE of the above card, but I still love the cheerful colours and the cute image
I must have been really inspired in March as I had difficulty choosing one to share!
Love this card when I made it, and still love it.
This was one of two box cards I made last year.
The recipient loves it so much she still has it on her mantelpiece
The photos never did this card justice, as the shimmer and shine did not show up well.
I really enjoyed using this die set, and the CAS card was appreciated by the recipient.
This was one of several cards I made using nail polish for the background
This is one of several Steampunk style cards I made this past year.
This was made for a local (N.Z.) swap group that I am part of - I really enjoyed making this card.
This card was made using off cuts !! Waste not want not was what i was brought up with ...
The sentiment says is all - Thanks a bunch if you have made it this far.
In retrospect, I see that I am predominantly a CAS card maker...
May your 2018 be filled with pleasure in the small things,
lots of crafty time,
and love those who are near and dear to you - life is fragile.
Fabulous Maxine. I've been too busy with the family to do a review either. Maybe next week, when they have gone back home.

ReplyDeleteHi Maxine, twelve super cards all for different occasions, love that others keep their specially made box cards out for all to see, long after the event. You made some really fabulous cards for blokes too... glad to see a few of my favourite cards of yours that I have plans on case-ing my self. Wishing you a very happy, healthy and crafty New year... have a wonderful week... Megan
