My Crafty Year

Hello blogging friends,

 

I do hope you are enjoying this festive period and are not affected by the awful floods and power cuts. We have been very lucky here in Sussex, we lost a fence panel and our garden was a bit flooded, but that is all.

 

Lots of blogging peeps are sharing their twelve favourite makes of 2013, so I thought I would join in the fun and share mine.

 

Grab a cuppa and take a browse through my post.  I have tried to choose a diverse selection of makes, I do hope you like my choices, please leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

 

Firstly, January 2013

 

A little card using the Little Claire image 'Best Friend', I love this image and its beautiful little sentiment.

 

 

 

February 2013

 

A little lantern using Little Claire's - 'Butterfly Blossom, an image I have used over and over, just love it!

A tunnel card using Little Claire - 'Your So Tweet' set in lilac & white's, so right for Spring!

My love of kraft card started this month, using Little Claire - 'Bird Line', one of my all time favourite stamps.  I love the little metal butterfly & peg I have used on this card.

 

 

 

August 2013

 

A Prima Dolly Tag for Ali-Craft, whose DT I joined earlier in the year. The tag and paper are from Prima also.  My dolly featured in Creative Stamping (November) issue.

 

 

 

September 2013

 

My birthday month in which I used a gorgeous Little Claire image - 'Rainy Days ' .

I have paper pieced the image using these lovely papers and those wellie's are so cute!

 

 

 

October 2013

 

I joined Hobby Art Design Team this month, so here is a card made for Jenny's Create & Craft show featuring 'A Gaggle of Geese' and 'Decorative Background's' stamp sets - such gorgeous stamps to use!

 

 

 

 

November 2013

 

I have used lots of girly papers, baker's twine and a Little Claire - 'Tea Party' stamp set, which I helped design with Gill and ex-teamie Georgina.  I especially love the little cup with the bird on.

 

 

 

Last but not least, December 2013

 

A bright and colourful card using Hobby Art's - Sharon's Vases' stamp set. Love those little butterflies and the image are just gorgeous!

 

 

 

Looking back is very cathartic, I have really enjoyed re-living the year in makes, I do hope you have enjoyed seeing them again.

 

Have a lovely weekend, thanks so much for stopping by!
