Psst, have you heard my exciting crafty news?! You should check it out here and enter the giveaway on that post!
Good morning and Happy New Year’s Eve! Last year I reviewed my favorite cards of 2015 and thought it would be fun to continue the tradition this year! Last year I chose a card from each month but for 2016 I decided to just pick my personal favorites! Here they are in no particular order:
Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge #4 – Winter
Simon Says Stamp Special Holiday Release Blog Hop
Winnie & Walter Tour of the Stars
Hero Arts My Monthly Hero October Blog Hop
My Favorite Things Superstar Contest
The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge Blog Hop
Lawnscaping Underwater Birthday Bendi Shaker Card
As I looked back through my favorite cards I was amused to see that five use pink, nine use watercoloring, four are interactive, and nine have some type of iridescent or metallic element. Some of my preferences may change over the years but those four characteristics are definitely engrained in my design aesthetic! 😉
I also wanted to take a moment to acknowledge all of my blog readers, social media followers, and personal cheerleaders! Your comments, likes, shares, and follows are so SO appreciated and you keep me inspired to keep creating! I am so grateful for your support and friendship and look forward to another wonderful year! Cheers to 2017!
Thanks so much for visiting!
And to celebrate a wonderful year and usher in a new year I wanted to provide one of my readers with a little crafty shopping spree! 😉 Please leave a comment and let me know if any of these cards were your favorite or if you had another one in mind for a chance to win a $50 gift card to Simon Says Stamp! Leave a comment before 11:59PM EST on January 7th, 2017 and the winner will be announced on January 8th!

These are all so incredibly lovely- but I think my fave is the ‘Peace on Earth’ shaker that is sitting on my kitchen counter!! xoxo
Your cards are beautiful. my favorit ia the scene card nr 4
i LOVE the Star Wars themed card! YAY for geeky cards!
Nature listens is my favorite. It is a feast for the eyes, a comfort to the soul, and the verbiage is so true.
I do have a resolution. This is very unusual for me. I want to make a technique binder. I will place a sample, instructions and my thoughts on the project.
It’s too though to select one!!! But if I HAD to choose it would be Where Creativity Meets C9 Challenge #4 – Winter!

I love the deer in the trees card. love how it looks like it’s popping off the page.
I love the girl with the dog, that card brings tears to my eyes every time I see it. Dog lover here who lost a beloved pet in 2016 11 years was not long enough. Hope you have a great year.
Congrats on your new Hero Arts position! I fairly recently found your blog and really enjoy seeing your gorgeous cards. I especially like your May the 4th one in this post–that just cracked me up and the background is stunning. I am thinking to make a version of it (I’m nowhere close to being talented enough to make a background like that!) for hubby for Valentine’s Day. Thanks for sharing all the inspiration!
Such Beautiful Cards! Thank u so much for the inspiration and opportunity to win!
Amazing work for 2016! If I had to select just one favorite it would be the blue floral Joy card. Amazing color techniques, color combination and layout!
Love your style, super gorgeous cards! I’ve now subscribed so I don’t miss out on any of your projects! I absolutely love the first “Joy to the World” card. The heat embossing is the perfect touch.
Gorgeous cards, love your style. My biggest goal for 2017 is to use up some of the much hoarded patterned paper into my cards.
All your cards are amazing. Way too difficult to pick a favorite but I love the Cake Card and ti’s one of my favorite stamps this year.
*Runner up is fox as that is my nickname*
I’ve been following you for a while and really like all of your work. I love the coffee lovers card as I am drawn to the bold colors and sentiment. I also really love the landscape and sentiment of the appreciate everything card.
My favorite is the card for the Summer Coffee Lovers Bloghop!
Lovely set of cards. I love the SSS Holiday Release card with those trees. The circle WW card is another favorite… I also love the May the 4th card… cool background! Also love the lego figures. 🙂
Wow, I cannot choose just one. I love the background you did on the May 4th video! I hope you have a Happy New Year!!! hollysilva911@hotmail.com
Truly amazing cards – everyone of them. I do have to go with the Star Wars one as a favorite as we are huge fans and you not only captured theme, but went all out with the backdrop! My whole family (all guys) loved it – and they are a tough crowd.
Love Love Love the Lawnscaping Underwater Birthday Bendi Shaker Card
Hero Arts Oct Blog Hop card is my fav
How can I pick a favorite, they are all great. The mr & mrs card is beautiful as are many others.
I would say my favorite card is Lawnscaping Underwater card. It is really cool.
