A Few of My Favorite Things for 2012

It was a very, very good year for me. I've learned a LOT about so many different things to do with ART.
 
I've been published a couple of times, and asked to teach here and there, met some wonderful new friends, and been blessed with new and exciting products to work with.
 
So, I thought I'd show you my favorite projects for the past year. Got this idea from my dear friend Lynne Forsythe.
 
Several have tutorials on the posts...click on each title to take you to that post.
 
 I know I had the time of my life making these and will treasure all the friends I made along the way through them.

So we're moving into a new and exciting year with new products to play with and the first 4 months of the year as Paper Artsy Guest Designer!!!!
 
Check me out on their blog every 3rd week for the next 4 months here.
 
You will LOVE the Fresco Paints.and the GORGEOUSLY detailed stamps..I'm telling ya, I fell in love with them.
 
So onward ho.....let's go!

What a fabulous portfolio of art! Your style is destinct and fabulous! I live your use of color, metal and layers. So much inspiration and eye candy on one page. I must go back and check these all out again. Congrats on your Guest Design position at PA. There stamps are gorgeous! I think my favorite are the Lynne Perrella. And I am dying to try the paints after watching a lot of the YT videos last night. Can't wait to see all the great stuff you come up with using their stuff!

Wow Linda, you certainly had a creative year. I love all those projects but the one I love the most is the Vintage Cuff......that piece is just to die for.

Can't wait to see what you create with all the Paperartsy goodies......their products are right up your street.
