The Year in Review-What's Your Favorite

I did a post like this last year and it was fun to see how things change but seem to come back around.

 

Here are just some of the highlights of my projects along the way this year with new products.

I joined in Guest Designing for PaperArtsy (which I am thrilled to do again this year) and joined the Retro Cafe Art Gallery Design Team. I was also honored to be a Guest Designer with StencilGirls.

Lots of pictures; very few words. Enjoy.

 

 I started with a tag... 

 

 Then a PaperArtsty project on wood substrate.

 This Exploding Box was a real challenge.

 But so worth the time spent.

 

Valentine's Day brought another tag.

 And another Guest Designer piece for PaperArtsy. (one of my favs!)

 This is one I can't seem to part with. LOVE the Lynne Perrella horse stamp.

 

 And an Accordion Card with a Karen Burniston die.

 

 Fresco Paints and PaperArtsy stamps for a journal page.

The Embossed Box ... right up there in favs, too.

I LOVE how this tag with the Pediments die and metal turned out.

 Dylusions Sprays for a journal page.

Retro Cafe Art Mini Shrine on a pedistal.

Finnabair metal embellishments and more for a book cover.

Another tag with Lynne Perrella stamps and paint.

 The Ranger Melt Art project.

 My Scientist with Retro Cafe Art Articulated Man.

 Embossed paper for a Father's Day card with Tim Holtz stamps.

 You can never have Too Much Metal! (I say!)

 This miniature was embellished with rubons and stamps.

 

 Here it is as a necklace going the other way.

  

This 6x12 canvas is layered with Graphic45 Steampunk paper, paint, Grungepaste, stamps and lots of ephemera.

For the leader of the Retro Cafe Art company...Kristin.

My Guest Designer page with Seth Apter's Stencil Girl stencil.

 A Halloween House with Bats, and Spiders and Skulls...oh, my!

 

 Graphic 45 stamps in a Dylusion Journal.

 Halloween! Time for another tag!

 Spooky ATCs are loaded into a stamped-up box from RCA.

 

 Another journal page with stencils and stamps.

 The Bird in the Window page with Pam Carriker's gorgeous stencil. 



Lots to look at with this Shrine from RCA.

 

 

Watercolor leaves with Tim Holtz stamps and UTEE.

 

 

A tag from Creative Chemistry 102 for a background.

DOTD swap was way out of my comfort zone...but I'm getting there.

 

  Kiki page with StencilGirl stencils.

 

 Being Thankful page after all the destruction that hit so close to us.

 

 Christmas Votive House with RCA pieces.

 My take on the new Altered Art Blocks going to CHA soon using Eileen Hull's great die.

 An Articulated Angel from RCA.

 And my metal Luminary with a Tim Holtz-Sizzix die.

 

My heartfelt thanks to everyone who stops by and leaves a comment, and to the wonderful people who have pushed me to be creative with their great products.

 

Life is Good!

 

I'll be back Jan. 1st with some fun Sweetheart Fairies for Valentine's Day.
