Top 10 of 2012!

Hello and I hope you've all had a wonderful Holiday season so far.  It's been busy at our house, but so nice to have great family and friends time.

Today, I'm joining a group of wonderful and talented ladies in a Top 10 of 2012 Blog Hop.  I haven't done this before but love the idea of revisiting favorite projects from the past year.   

Here we go...

From my collection below, 2012 was the year of CAS cards for me.  I started off the year by taking a CAS Online Card Class and loved it.  It seemed to be the catalyst that got me on the road to more CAS cards and more stamping this year.

Miss You

 Love this card using Twinkling H2O's to paint the circles and then heat emboss on top with white ink.

You Can Do It.

Loved this world map stamp I got from Hobby Lobby, I used it a lot this year....also loved going across the border a few times this year, there is a Hobby Lobby right next to the Outlet Mall!

Yellow

This was just a fresh and bright card.  A few years ago, I would have never used yellow, but now I love it.  So bright and sunny.

Love Squared

Love this layout with the raised cardstock panel and white embossing on the kraft cardstock.  Have used this layout and technique quite a bit this year.

Hello Friend

One of my favorite color combinations.  Ever.  Fun and bright.

Right Where you Should Be

 2012 was the year of Pinterest for me.  I spent hours pinning and being inspired by so much on the site.  This  color combo was inspired by Pinterest.

Happy Birthday

 Another Pinterest color combo inspiration and more of that lovely yellow.

This monochromatic cutie got lots of pinterest repinning, so CAS, love it.
(That post got a lot of spam, so I've taken it off for now)

In My Heart

Another CAS favorite, always hard to create a sympathy card, but this stamp set from Hero Arts says it all perfectly.

Happy Holidays

And it seems appropriate to end my top 10 with a stamped card that I made for a guest design team spot with Skipping Stones Design.  I started out the year with a resolution to stamp more and learn more.  So to end the year with a guest DT spot with a stamp company...well it was just a perfect creative ending to the year.

I've had so much fun with this post, thanks for taking a stroll through my favorite projects with me.  Here is a list of all the ladies participating.  I know it's going to be an inspiring hop.
