Last year I had fun taking a walk down memory lane and picking my 10 favorite cards of the year … so much fun, I thought I'd do it again this year (in chronological order).
1 – This Think Happy Thoughts card won the Sketch Challenge to celebrate the 100th Sketch at CPS and was subsequently published in CardMaker Magazine.
2 – This krafty creation was for the Kraft Macaroni & Cheese challenge with the 'Varks crew. I was thrilled when it won third place in the Hero Arts Friendship Challenge.
3 – This card for the Caardvarks Critter Challenge featured a fabulous vintage illustration that was highlighted with Shimmerz glitter paint. I continued to fall in love with using vintage book pages in my designs.
4 – This was another Caardvarks Challenge card. I love the effect of the glimmer mist mask on the vintage text.
5 – I love the bold graphic statement of this card for Dawn's Raspberry Suite Color Challenge #4. The Hero Arts Bold Flourish was one of my favorite stamps of the year.
6 – While I didn't finish the challenge, I did enjoy the weeks I participated in Emily's 52Q Challenge. I also enjoyed working on my digi-skills.
7 – I loved the colors and dimension of this design for a Hero Arts challenge (note the Bold Flourish again) … and fell in love with detail cutting this year.
8 – This card was for a SplitCoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge. I love the combination of visual interest with a single layer design … and I also love being able to host that Challenge each week to push my own creative boundaries.
9 – I really loved how all of these colors from Dawn's Color Challenge worked together in this bold design.
10 – And although not the best photograph, this was my favorite holiday card of the year. I loved the texture of the felt tree, blinged simplicity, and all-over glimmer.
Thanks for sharing this year with me … I look forward to lots more creative fun in 2010.
love them all…such a fun post!
WOW! Fabulous top 10!!
AWESOME! I had missed some of these so glad you shared them again! GREAT idea and one I may have to use myself! Happy New Year Stef! 🙂
Thanks for showing the neat cards-some I hadn’t seen. Thanks for having such an interesting blog and hosting the challenge although I don’t get to play much.
Hope your 2010 is Wonderful.
I love the umbrella card it is so cute
Wow. Your cards are beautiful and I feel like I learned a little bit when I looked at each of them
I really liked Lars and the Real Girl too. The towns people were so generous to his needs. It was really touching.

(i may need the bold flourish stamp…just sayin…also MASKING AND SPRAYING on text paper…? ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!! and ditto for vintage illustrations incorporated into cards!)
