I loved december!
Happy New Year and thanks so much for hosting a spot along this great blog hop! As I reviewed your card selection from this year, I came across many favorites because I subscribe to your blog but I will have to say that the card you chose for September, the bright mum on the dark background, is one of my top cards EVER! This card was a stunner! Thanks for all of the great tips for using alcohol inks – you are my SME for that technique!
The Gusteau’s is precious! Love your work for LF. HNY!
Your September card is so striking with the black background! Can’t wait for the alcohol ink and resin art–looks so beautiful.
Loved another look through your favorite cards for 2019! I love to watch you create! Thanks for the chance to win the $50 certificate!
All wonderful projects, always love them. Happy New year !
Happy New Year, Jess! I am looking forward for more crafting inspiration from you. You know I am a fan of your work. Congrats on launching your new store. Cross fingers I’ll get to see you again in 2020.
The July card is my favorite, though I am an avid follower of yours and love all of your creations. But I love the July card, because it is a combo of alcohol inks and fantastic coloring.
Thank you for sharing your talent! The card from May is my favorite.
Jessica, I love seeing all of your great inspiration all year long! My favorite cards from you this year were the alcohol ink and resin art cards! The color is so stunning, and the swirl of gold reminds e of Japanese pottery! So beautiful! Have a great 2020!
Crafty Hugs!

I love the July card because it looks like a Hibiscus, my favourite flower
I am always hard pressed when trying to pick a favorite card of yours!!!! All of them are so creative and fun. I especially loved your May “Woo Hoo” card! Pure genius!
Happy New year! I love all of your cards, but I think that the ratitouille card is my favorite!! 🙂
Wow what a fun post with all these fabulous cards. I especially like the box card…that movie is so heartwarming ! Happy New Year!
All your cards are beautiful, but one of my favourites is the one you made using the Fall Frenchies (you posted it September 2nd). I had my eye on that stamp set for a while, but that card sealed the deal and I bought it shortly after 😀
Your Sept. and Oct. cards blew me away!
I live them all but March is my favorite.
Love your rich colors on your florals. So striking! Thanks for sharing your talent with us wanna be colorists!
