Top five cards from 2012

Hi, ladies! I'm busy stamping away on new product (and I'll share that later), but I wanted to gather up a few of my favorite cards from last year to share with you one last time. Boy this was hard - I made a LOT of cards last year! I linked each card to the original post, just in case you need more details...

#5 is this 3-D flower card done with just a touch of red. I made a ton of variations of this flower this year - so simple and but super pretty.

#4 is this fresh little bike card...I wish I had a glitter bike to ride like this! Again with the stitching - can you feel the little curly-Qs of {love} flowing off the back of this bike?

#3 is this SMILE card I whipped up using the new Burlap ribbon and lots of rolling (my favorite inking technique!). Those fabulous rhinestone brads are one of my favorite things for sure!

#2 is this CAS holiday card...clean and simple are not my strong suits, but I whipped this card out in minutes and wouldn't change a thing!

And my favorite card from 2012 is probably this one - the crisp black and white, stitched panels, glittery dragonfly wings...I made this right after we got those brads I love so much! It breaks my heart that they are retiring at the end of this month - I'd better get some more before they are gone!

A bonus project - probably my favorite layout I made last year. I say probably, because how do you pick for sure, but I loved these pics of my boys so much, this layout helped me realize the power of the photo collage in a layout! Plus I loved this Dotty paper packet to pieces...

I'm linking this post to the Paper Issue My Favorite Linky party, which is sure to be chock full of awesomeness, so go check it out! 

Hope you enjoyed this quick trip down memory lane with me - new product sneak peek project #1 is coming ASAP!
