Top 10 of 2012!

 http://operationwritehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/topten2012.jpg



 Happy New Year!  May your future be full of happiness and joy.

I have been blessed by Operation Write Home and the support and inspiration provided by so many card makers.  I have definitely received much more than I have given.

Here are my 10 favorite cards of 2012.  I only started blogging in late August, so I didn't have a lot of cards from which to choose!!  Below each picture, I linked back to the original post. 
Love the colors, papers, sentiment - love it completely!!  My favorite of the year.  AND - my first blog post.  Coincidence?  I think not!!!!! 
Simple, but the fab paper, along with the textured background and great embellishments make the simple fabulous.  

Purses, leopard.  'Nuff said.  

Purple and green goodness.  The pearls add so much. 

While not the greatest visually, I learned SO much in the process of making this card, it deserves a spot on my top list.  

 Looks SO much better in person.  This is an Ohio Star quilt pattern, made to represent my home state for an OWH VCMP challenge.  Learned a lot!

This year, I started doing the sketch challenges.  I find them, well, challenging.  Guess that is the point?!?!?  

 Another sketch challenge, was happy with how the papers worked together.  A special birthday card for my very entertaining sister. 

I love the look of triple time cards, but hate the bulk.  So, I made an SVG to use with cutters and designer papers.  

Learning to use vellum stickers and an old sketch challenge. 

Make it a great New Year.  Random acts of kindness can mean so much to someone - challenge yourself to pay it forward!!

  5. Hi Bobbi, I loved seeing your top ten cards and I'm inspired! Your "triple time stamping" card appears to be designer paper, what a great way to use some of our DP - pure genius!

    First of all, I'm sooooo glad that we had a chance to meet this year. Wishing you all the best in 2013!

    'Nuff said, indeed! What a wonderful collection of cards, but my favorite has to be the leopard purses. Love the print and black combo -- and the little ribbon handles are adorable.

  13. These are awesome - and I especially love that you included a card you learned a lot from. Some of my bonehead cards probably deserved a spot on my post, just because they changed my thinking in some way!

  31. Nice cards here! I especially like the green & purple floral one, and I agree with you that the pearls are a fantastic finishing touch on it. The blues and browns and the embossed texture of the truck card make a wonderful masculine card. Great job on the quilted star card, too. Keep 'em coming!
