The Year in Review - a blog hop

Hi Everyone,
Do you believe it, another year has come and gone. There is so much creativity out here in blog land, and I was invited by Karin over at  With an "i" for Paper to participate in a review of 2011 and so can you. Just pick out your favorite cards from the past year, and post them on your blog.  Then come over to Karin's blog at With an "i" for Paper and pop your name in the Linky spot and let the oooing and aahhing begin. All Karin asks is that you limit the number of cards you choose to 12 (That's one for each month of the year) and post a photo of the button below at the top of your post and link back to With an "i" for Paper.


Before you get started, I have 2 prizes to award to two lucky commenters. The 1st prize will be a stamp set and the 2nd prize will be 2 - 1/2oz. jars of glitter (2 different colors), so don't forget to leave a comment to be eligible. If you comment, I will enter your name in a drawing and the drawing will take place Jan 1, 2012. Good luck to all!!


So now sit for a minute or two and lets review my year. I have 12 cards for you to check out. Believe me, this has been a hard task, to choose just 12 cards. These are really in no particular order.

    Great stuff! It's been too long since I've done a ribbon plaid (my personal fav of yours!) and I'd meant to do one for a challenge recently ... thanx for the reminder and inspiration!

    Barbara They're all so totally different - it's hard to choose just one - so I choose them all - okay - my favorite is the holly circle, then the Santa, then the Eagle - :)

    Some lovely cards, I think #6 is my fav, but that could change if I kept studying them. Love to see how different each is...inspired by this idea and listing a few of my own. Blessings.
